Thanks for Revenant Nightmare for the banner.

Well, as Jasmine said before: Feeling generous today? Care to give the newbies a place to live? Adopt a forum newbie today!

The point of this whole thing is to help the newbies, to show them the ropes, and tell them what you know. For the newbies, this was designed so that you would not feel nervous or alone upon joining this large forum community. You can find an SPPf elder to help you get acquainted with the place, either from the list under 'Adopters' or finding one around the forum who's been here for AT LEAST three/3/03 months.

Owner: Eefi-chan.

Assistants: Chelc. Listen to her or you'll be kicked out/banned from the agency (thread).


Rules:

For the SPPf elders who want to adopt;
1. When you sign up, you'll go through an inspection process to make sure you're suitable for adopting a new person.
2. You must use good English grammar and preferrably good spelling.
3. You must follow the rules.
4. Be polite.
5. Be nice to people. We don't want you to be rude to your newly adopted newbie.
6. At least be registered at SPPf longer than three months. If you had an older account here, please post the username under which it was.
7. Be patient. Give your newbie time to learn.
8. Make sure you read the Offical SPP Forum Rules before adopting. We want to make sure you know what's proper to teach your newbie.
9. HAVE FUN.

For the newbies:
1. Be nice to your adopter. It's nice for that person to adopt you.
2. Be patient with your adopter.
3. Have to be at least recently registered. (I don't want a 3-year SPPfer to be adopted.) But there are exceptions to this rule, provided you give me a sufficient reason for that and there are solid evidence supporting that (e.g. user rank).
4. Try not to annoy your adopter too much, you might have lots of questions, but sometimes he or she can get frustrated.
5. At least TRY to use proper English. Many of our SPPfers get ticked off with chat speak. But comprehensible chat-speak is allowed.
6. Leet speak isn't allowed at all.
7. Have to read the Offical SPP Forums Rules before being adopted. We want the newbies to have a good idea of what we want people to behave like here at the forums.
8. Try your best to refrain from spamming. We all spam, but please, try to not.
9. HAVE FUN.

I beseech of everyone to read both sets of guidelines so that you know what you should be following as well as the other person in your mentoring pair.

If you have any problems with the newbie you adopted, or with the owner who adopted you, or if for any reason you want to stop being the adopter (owner) or the adoptee (newbie), please PM me (Eefi-chan) with your newbie or your owner's name and explain what's the problem or what you want to do.

Please refer to this to see if you are an eligible adopter. This is a Calendar Calculator. :D

Adopters and newbies, when signing up for this agency, please provide a little bit of information about yourself. I'll set two forms for the adopters and newbies underneath.

Actually, you just made three months and a few days, so I'll accept.

Can I adopt groudone? He's my freind at school and sent me a PM just now. If I adopt him then I don't need to write all that do I?
As long as he's a member, yes. And if you accept, then you don't need to reapply. As I said in that introduction thread, I'll just let this one pass. Gah.

Also, I noticed something on the rules. On the fifth rule for the SPPf Elders, it says "on't" instead of "won't". It bugs me for some odd reason... >.>;;[/COLOR]
Oops. I'll edit that right now. ^^ Sorry.

Otherwise, the first post will be updated right now. Two more assistances were added, and that'll be it for now.

What is SPPf?

I am wondering about that for an hour now =p
and I'm not a newbie. My account was deleted somehow and now I have a new one. Actual time that I have been here is about a year. Now it is like 2 or 3 days I think v.v

レミオロメン♪
I'm sorry, we aren't playing Jeopardy. :)

...In all seriousness, please don't post here unless you have a question to ask about the Adopt-a-Newbie Agency, or if you are submitting your adopter/newbie application.

Other posts, such as yours, will be treated as spam, which as you know is against the rules. Yes, that means that you shouldn't reply to this post, even if it is to apologize.

By the way, if you'd still like to know what "SPPf" stands for (as I'm assuming you do by the way you worded your question), PM me.
