It seems in the last few weeks that several of the newer members have had some trouble with the rules and where to post etc. So I made a guide a for the WBO forum itself. Just take a look at it. I think its something that needed to be made. If you see something that can be improved just let me know and ill add it.

Spoiler (Click to View)

This guide will cover the basic aspects of the World Beyblade Organization.


Our first topic will be some basic points on the WBO

Spoiler (Click to View)

• Beypoints- Are earned by winning matches in official WBO tournaments. Beypoints are not given for HMS/Plastic tournaments.
• Search is very useful to find questions that have already been answered.

Beywiki Is a comprehensive encyclopedia for Beyblade. It’s being constantly updated with the newest information.
• BladerPassport will get you into WBO events free for 1 year. This does not cover possible store/convention fees.
• Take a moment and read the Rules . This will help you greatly. Getting a warning is never fun for anyone.
• The Beyblade Metal Fusion Metal Masters Hobby is designed to talk about the hobby of Beyblade. Not the anime. This is specifically for the toy line.
• News – This is where news regarding the WBO is special WBO events will be posted.
• Competitive Metal Fight Beyblade Combos
• User CP Guide

Here is a list of particularly useful threads, especially for beginners

Spoiler (Click to View)

For questions about the WBO you should go to Questions about the WBO to ask it.
For questions regarding the hobby of beyblading or specific parts about it, then Ask a question get an answer the place to ask it.
For combo help go to Build me a combo #2 for help. You do not need to post a thread asking for combo help.

Now we are going to cover more of the different topics in the WBO.

Introduction Thread

Spoiler (Click to View)

The introduction thread is a place for you to introduce yourself. It’s not for trying to organize an event or for anything else.

Customization Forum

Spoiler (Click to View)

Please be specific. If you know the name of the part (eg. Tiger Defenser is the AR of Driger S), please use it; if not, please post the exact model you got the part from (eg. AR: Driger S).

Explain the concept. A Beyblade that is strong against one type of Beyblade in one type of Bey Stadium will work entirely differently in a different situation. Please tell us how your Beyblade is supposed to work.
Bey Marketplace

The Bey marketplace is where you can go to buy & sell Beyblades. Just remember when making deals with other WBO members, please remember to use caution. The WBO is not responsible for the outcomes of exchanges that occur in this forum. In the Bey Marketplace there are several sub forums.

• WBO Authorized Dealer - All special offers and exclusive features from our Authorized Beyblade Dealers will be discussed here. Don't miss out on those awesome opportunities! Current dealers: theINtoy and dimsum2u.
• Selling & Trading- This forum is where you can go to trade and sell with Bladers around the world.
• Buying If you’re looking for some specific Beyblades or Beyblade parts that you can't really find anywhere else on the net? This forum is a shout-out to all our members here.
• Purchase Consultation – This thread is for helping you figure out if something is a good buy or not.

Beywiki Project

Spoiler (Click to View)

This forum discussion is for the Beywiki. Discussing of Priorities, progress, requests, error reports, etc. should all be posted here. Beywiki article drafts are also posted here.

Beyblade Anime and Manga

Spoiler (Click to View)

This forum is for discussion of the Beyblade Manga and Anime. Talk about your favourite big-eyed characters and nonsensical spinning top plot twists in here. New episodes' download and viewing links can be viewed here.

Beyblade General Forum

Spoiler (Click to View)

This forum is designed for general talk of Beyblade. Just remember never to make a single thread for an individual question. Each Beyblade has its own individual topic. This forum is a good place to get information on upcoming Beyblade releases. It also has threads such as Whine about your breaks! or Re-Paints and Special Customizations!.

WBO General

Spoiler (Click to View)

This forum is for trying to drum up interest for an event in your area. Be sure to search the forum to see if there is already a thread for your area. More than likely their already is. This is for all WBO-sanctioned Beyblade play discussion not regarding official events.

Be sure to read theTournament Rules before going to an event.

Here is a list of the sub forums:
Australia
Europe
North America
Rest of the World
Teams

Official Events

Spoiler (Click to View)

Information regarding official events are posted here.

Event Proposals

Spoiler (Click to View)

An event cannot be considered an official WBO-sanctioned event until it is approved by the WBO Committee. To get approval, you must first propose your event.

To propose an event, you should post a new topic in this forum with the following information:
• Name: The proposed name of the event.
• Date: Approximate date you would like the event to take place.
• Venue: Where the event will be held. If it's at a convention or other similar event, be sure to specify that!
• Expected Turnout: How many people you expect to attend the event. Important note: You need to show a list of eight already confirmed participants for your proposed tournament.
• Format: What play format you want to run the tournament as.
• Additional information: Any other information you can provide us. Tell us about yourself, your history with Beyblade, why you want to run a tournament ... generally, the more information you give us, the more likely we will approve your proposal (and the less likely we'll be to ask more questions).
Remember, the topic name and your name will be visible to anyone, but the contents of the topic are only visible to yourself and the WBO Committee. If you submit all of this information correctly and have a strong plan, there's a great chance that your event will be approved.

Make sure to read the Event Guide!

Code:

[spoiler ] Add text here [/spoiler]

Code:

[spoiler]Always make sure to add the / at the end or it will not work correctly[/spoiler]

To add a link do the following:

Spoiler (Click to View)

Code:

[url=add url here] add word(s) here [/url]

Code:

E.G: [.spoiler = Blah] [/spoiler]
The above is how you edit the "spoiler" text when using spoilers.

Code:

[b ] [/b] is to bold a certain text, place the [b ] in front of where you want to bold, and [/b] to the end of what you want to bold.

I swear there is guide just like this somewhere. Also this is the Beyblade General forum, for the hobby only. So if there isn't a guide for it already, it belongs in the Questions and Comments forum.

Forgive me if i'm wrong though.

EDIT: Found the thread that is like this; 'How To Make Good Posts and Not Get Warned: A Guide to the WBO!'.

Currently #15 in the World! :E

I swear there is guide just like this somewhere. Also this is the Beyblade General forum, for the hobby only.

Forgive me if i'm wrong though.

You might be mixing this up with th!nk's guide. And yes, this should be moved to the "Questions and Comments" forum.
Ironic that he put it in the wrong, forum, even though it is a guide not to do that and other things.

Anyway, nice guide Dark_Mousy! It is like th!nk's guide, but in this, it focuses on where to post and what not to post.

Ah...I noticed it got moved.

Anyway, great guide Dark. I think it is similar to th!ink's guide, as everyone else suggested. But there are differences.

Also, in that little part about the search function, I think you should add something similar to this: "Use the search functions to make sure there isnt a topic like the one you are making. Avoiding this problem will avoid possible negative feelings towards you/your username."

Eh...I'm not to good at this writing business. I hope you got my point.
Hope it helps.

Also, going through it a second time i noticed a small, not too much of a deal, "mistake."
Thanks to my internet OCD, I noticed the link for the Italian Forum. Not sure how to word it but here.

Italian

I hope I am being any help at all.

And in the introducty private message everybody gets ...

Hm, this thread could be useful, but is it really necessary the way it is now?
You essentially just copy + Pasted every description for the different topics of the WBO.

The list of useful threads and the basic points are fine, but I would suggest adding some more content for the other topics (like, possibly some things that may be interesting for them, or popular threads in the topics.)

I think putting in other types of formatting would also be useful.

Code:

E.G: [.spoiler = Blah] [/spoiler]
The above is how you edit the "spoiler" text when using spoilers.

Code:

[b ] [/b] is to bold a certain text, place the [b ] in front of where you want to bold, and [/b] to the end of what you want to bold.

Decent guide otherwise.

I will add more later. I just wanted to get everyones input. Considering the last few weeks several new members havent been reading the rules. I thought this was necessary.

Great job Dark_Mousy on creating this thread for beginners

HOW DO YOU MAKE A BANNER

You ask a sig maker to make one for you in the "Your Creations" forum. This is not the right place to ask that question.
