On Advanced Tau Tactica (ATT), we take the our mission and member guidelines seriously. They are reason for the quality of posts and behaviour on ATT. We expect a lot from our members. As a new member, if you feel we ask too much, you're more than free to move on and discuss Warhammer 40K on one of any number of other excellent sites. However, if you decide that you want to give ATT a try, here are some suggestions.


Lurk
Perhaps the biggest mistake a new member can make within minutes of activating their account, is post up a "Flavour of the Week" topic and clamour for responses. Instead, read through such forums and articles as The Academy and practice using the Search feature to get a feel for our "culture". ATT has a huge wealth of information that can help new players and vets alike. Reading up to a third of all the "Active Topics" of interest to you, before making your first post is suggested.

Post a Member Profile
We encourage new members to share whatever they're comfortable with in the Member Profiles section. This helps us to get to know you and builds a sense of community. It also allows us to understand your level of experience and approach to better answer future questions you might have.

List your Country of Origin
Edit your account profile to include at least your country of origin and whether or not you are a native English speaker. This is especially important for our non-English speaking members so we're aware of your language barrier.

They're there for a reason and we take them seriously.

Make your First Post Count
ATT is a tight knit community and we rely heavily on first impressions. You only get one chance to make a good first impression, so make it count. Do your homework, follow the above suggestions, and put some serious effort into your first post. ATT thrives on quality, not quantity.

Respond to Requests from Ranked Members
ATT's ranked members have a tremendous collective wealth of experience and knowledge and we trust them to maintain the overall quality of the site through their own fine example, through direct suggestion if necessary. Please heed their advice and requests.
