Logging-in

You need to log in to PDStig, LLC in order to get full access to our features, to interact with other members, to manage your profile, and to be able to manage (and get points for) the content you submit.

Points

Every logged-in member can gain points as they contribute to our community, in ways like…

• Posting on the forums
• Contributing content to PDStig, LLC, such as gallery images

As you gain points, you can spend them on various fun or useful things. The purchasing page contains all the items you can buy using your points, such as:

• Pinning of topics on the forum
• Highlighting of a member's name on the forum
• Banner advertisements, and upgrades. Through this you may advertise something of your own that ordinarily the staff would not allocate advertising space for.
• E-mail addresses. You may be able to purchase forwarding and POP3 e-mail addresses

Products that require manual setup will usually only be charged for upon activation, not at point of sale.
The points system extends further than this though, as members have the ability to give each-other points. For example, somebody might release some works to the community and then members might give them a whole load of points for it, giving them credit for their work.
To send points to a member you visit the points tab of their profile. The point gift will then show on that tab and will also count towards their point total (which they can use to buy things with).


Members of staff have the ability to give any number of points they like to people, including huge numbers, or even negative numbers. Please the staff and you could be awarded massively in points; abuse our systems and you could be penalised.

Please have fun with the system and use your points well.

Wiki+

Wiki+ is a system that allows users to post content into a database of posts. This system is similar to that of a forum, however rather than having a structure of forums and user created topics, it has a staff-managed hierarchical structure of pages.

The system can be used for all kinds of things, such as posting reference material indexed hierarchically by category, organising ideas indexed by topic, or discussing TV programmes indexed by episode name.

The staff will make clear how the Wiki+ system is employed on this website.

Other things to do

Other features we have include:

• a calendar
• chatrooms
• downloads
• forums
• private topics (for private messaging)
• quizzes

You may see submission links on the menus, and in other places. Submitting any kind of entry will be a similar process to submitting news: your entry will likely be put in a validation queue.
