Welcome to Tamiyabase.com Forums!
I want you to have a great experience here and would like to offer some advice on how to earn respect from other group members.

How to post a question or How best not to get flamed?

Dear "first time poster"!

A warm welcome to this forum. So at least you managed to find us and you have registered to start your first post burning with desire to get an answer to your biggest problem(s) concerning Vintage Tamiya, or just want to share with us anything Vintage Tamiya Related.

As you can see we are a "happy family" in here so don't be afraid of asking your questions - BUT - make sure you have done all the things a good "first time poster" could do before starting his first post:

- help the moderators and members to not get burned out by answering the same questions a thousand times
- it is always a good idea to first have a look at the "Stickys" - they are there for a special reason
- try to do a little search on your own by using the "search" button of this forum - it won't bite
- and read some posts to get an idea on how things work in here

If you were a good "first time poster" and you have done (some of) the above - then you qualify for starting your first post - go for it!

We will do our very best to try to help you but we can't do that if you don't give some detailed information concerning your problem(s). Otherwise it's like "reading tea leaves" or like "consulting the good old crystal ball". It leads to nothing but a couple of posts like: "What paint are you using?", "How are your receiver specs?" and so further and so on. This will only fill up the forum with unnecessary posts we all have to read and read and read and ...

This can be avoided by supplying important information right with your first post.

And last but not least, be gentle and you will treated gentle - so you will sure have a nice time with us in here.


Greetings,

-Lars
