It's useful to stress points and get show emotion behind words. Sort of like sarcasm or bolding. I highly doubt the forum will become a rainbow.
well I think bold or italic is more than enough for this kind of stuff... I never use any of these things anyway, I just don't feel the need
Well, the image and youtube thing are of use somewhat. Strike through is decent for edits, as are the other things.
Edit: At below,
100% agree.
I don't think it deserves a sticky at the moment. If I could link additional threads with hyperlink text such as something like
( ( url = blah ) ( title = Improving mid) )
then maybe. However they have like half of the codes disabled (or to where I can't use it ) So it would look sloppy but I'll edit my how to improve section so it doesn't just say "Message Relentless".
EDIT: YOU CAN HAS STICKY THIS NOW
@melody
i'm not being serious. Wish this forum was slightly more structured.... only slightly.
I know :/ I want a search feature + Link to specific post/thread/or user / sub forums.
I'd make a home here.
Still working on this, 30 pages back at the moment, will sort at the end.
There. You can sticky this now.
[color=#ffff00]Hell yeah[/color]

thank you for this colour(fawking spellcheck trying to get me to spell it color) shit melody

Damn, you beat me to making a "Welcome to DotaBuff" thread... Good job nonetheless! Just hope not to see a bunch of rainbows in other threads...
I honestly had no idea what made me want to do something like this. Whatever, I hope this works. I miss anything you would have covered? I'll be happy to add anything you think is worth if it fits~
Guess I'm just a forum Junkie
Sorry, guys) I was out for several days - moving from Kiev back to Kazakhstan and that took a lot of time...
Melody-San - AWESOME! Like seriously - AWESOME)
Will try to keep it in the top for new people to have better time adjusting to DotaBuff forums style.
Also - sorry everyone for not releasing a blog for 5 days now. Moving took a lot more effort/time than it should have( Will try to have a new one up asap.
@ Socks-Sama
i'll try to keep it edited and up to date as possible. I still have a few more things I would like to add and change around.
@Melody-San
Good job, man! It's also nice to see it noticed by KawaiiSocks
@KawaiiSocks
Just out of curiosity, why did you actually move back? I would rather live in Kiev than in Kazakhstan. Anyway, hope you'll manage to deal with this stuff quickly and give us an awesome blog.
@Christian
No need to thank me, although it's appreciated, the forum needed something like this, so I just threw it together.
Please sign in to post comments.
Hi and thanks for reading this or at least somewhat. For those of you that are new to Dotabuff forums or have been here longer than myself I will try to keep this short and to the point. Here is what I will try to cover.
[size=20][Color=#30e9ff]What I will be covering[/color][/size]
[*]I'm new!
[*]Making new threads
[*]HOW CAN I GET BETTER?
[*]What's accepted and what isn't
[*]Useful Forum codes
[*]A plethora of links to different discussions
So as you can see there might be a bit of stuff for everyone, regardless. If I left something out, feel free to comment and I'll look into it or edit it.
Thanks~

[size=20][Color=#30e9ff]I'm new![/color][/size]
[Url=http://dotabuff.com/]Dotabuff[/url] is a website that tracks stats of your games and kind of records them here. You don't want your stats tracked? Changed that via your dota in game settings. There is a small community here, and something of a "Forum" although it's more or less just a message board. Mods are very active and from what I hear/am currently using, Plus has lots of good features and is worth investing in. Below is a short explanation about the features / hotlinks at the top and bottom of the page.
Esports is a tab that features the amazing power of Dotabuff Truesight to give insane stat analysis of professional games. Personal game data is a Plus Feature however.
Heroes allows you to check the stats and specifics of a hero. Things from winrate to common items will be displayed.
Items shows the stats and winrate for individual items.
[Url=http://dotabuff.com/matches]Matches[/url] shows matches that are played within the Dota 2 Client. You can check games from major tournaments as well, seeing player builds and over all stats.
Players shows the top rated players for winrate, most time played, most games played and other things. You can check professional players stats as well.
Teams shows the top rated teams in Team Match Making.
Blog is a link to Dotabuff forums Blog about the game. There are numerous articles written by the staff. There is a list of links to individual blogs at the end of this post.
Forums is [Url=http://dotabuff.com/]Dotabuff's[/url] message board. There are a list of different topics already posted, however you can create new topics at the bottom of that page. There are several useful topics posted here at the bottom of this post.
Plus is [Url=http://dotabuff.com/]Dotabuff's[/url] subscription feature. You can follow a players games and check a vast majority of stats that aren't normally listed, while also harnessing the amazing power of Dotabuff Truesight. It is currently the only listed way to support this website and keep it running.
Search is a feature where you can search for players, items, heroes, or teams.
At the bottom there is...
Deutsch, Português, Русский, and 中文. These links will change the website over to the listed languages.
About is a few short descriptions about the website.
FAQ is a list of frequently asked questions and answers.
We're Hiring! is a way that you can work for [Url=http://dotabuff.com/]Dotabuff[/url]!
Support gives you ways to contact [Url=http://dotabuff.com/]Dotabuff[/url] if there is something that can't be answered via forums or FAQ.
Privacy is [Url=http://dotabuff.com/]Dotabuff's[/url] privacy policy and security statements.
There are respective links to Dotabuff's facebook page and twitter page as well.
[size=20][Color=#30e9ff]Making new threads[/color][/size]
Threads can be created by scrolling to the bottom of the page on the "forums" page. Look for the hotlink at the bottom labeled New Topic. [color=#ee1b00]BEFORE[/color] you go about creating new topics about "How I can improve", "Why do I keep losing?" or something similar, please do us people that use [Url=http://dotabuff.com/]Dotabuff[/url] frequently a favor. Please look back 3-5 pages and just read the titles of threads. See if there is a thread similar to yours. A lot of people post looking for things such as "How to improve" or similar things. I assure you there are many people that have replied to these posts and there are valid discussions on several subjects.
Here is a small survey over the top ten pages of topics on [Url=http://dotabuff.com/]Dotabuff[/url] . [Color=#ee82ee]This was taken as of 2/17/2014 at Noon EST.[/color]
[size=16][color=#db7793]Over ten pages :[/color][/size]
Topics complaining about MMR : [color=#ff0000]21[/color]
Topics complaining about Losses : [color=#ff0000]13[/color]
Topics complaining about Valve : [color=#ff0000]9[/color]
Topics complaining about Teammates : [color=#ff0000]26[/color]
Topics Complaining about Lack of / or current in-game features : [color=#ff0000]8[/color]
There are 25 posts per page. Over 10 pages there are a total of 250 topics/threads. [color=#ff0000]77[/color] of these threads are complaining about something. [color=#ff0000]11/25[/color] topics of each page of threads, are topics complaining about something. This gives us an [color=#ff0000]average bitching density of 44%[/color] per page. That is absurd. There is no reason to flood the forum with trash posts. If you are going to start a topic such as that, please reconsider. Instead of complaining about something which you can't fix, how about starting a thread on how can I minimize the chance of this happening? How can I improve my game play to the point where my teammates are of minimal effect to the game. What can I do to win more frequently?
Listed below is a plethora of links where specific topics are already being discussed that might help you with these issues you are having with the game. Please remember, everyone gets bad teammates. Everyone loses eventually or has a losing streak. [color=#ffa500]You can either complain about it and be part of the problem, or discuss it in a positive manner, and help find a solution.[/color]
[size=20][Color=#30e9ff]HOW CAN I GET BETTER?[/color][/size]
Message [Url=http://dotabuff.com/players/103176226]Relentless[/url], or more recently Havoc. Or read previous threads with common suggestions on how to improve. (I'm sorry in advance.) However with this being said, all of [Url=http://dotabuff.com/]Dotabuff[/url] will be more than happy to help improve your game play. Please keep and open and understand that everyone you included can improve in EVERY aspect of game play. No one is perfect, we all have room to improve.
[Color=#ee82ee]Edit : There will be a list of some threads at the end of this which might be of general interest.[/color]
[size=20][Color=#30e9ff]What's accepted and what isn't[/color][/size]
Official forum Guidelines.
Plus and it's information release was a controversy at one point, but it is "somewhat" accepted now. You can learn a lot from the list of great features some of which can be requested and if you're lucky someone might post it, however, since you use the website why not support something that you are pleased with using? Trolling is fine, so long as it's not personal attacks (to my knowledge). Try to use punctuation, things such as periods and what not because...
"its rly hard 2 try n understand wut sum1 is sayn when U type lyk dis dis stuff waz used in lyk1995 to shorthand txting when phones ddnt hav full keyboards iz not 95 ne more n we r most lykly on comps n iz lyk u hav a ful keyboard or sumthin rite infront of u so Y wud U not type lyk a regular person"
As far as "Where should my winrate be at", what I generally feel is acceptable is anything over 50%. The more over 50% the better. Supports should hold around 2.0+ Kda on their most played heroes. Carries should have 3.5+. This, all in all is just my opinion however.
The community reacts very negatively towards cocky/arrogant players. Being humble and open minded will yield the best results.
[size=20][Color=#30e9ff]Useful Forum Codes[/color][/size]
As the stretch goals have increased new ideas have been funded within the community and [color=#00FFFF]emotes have been added to the forums[/color]. This post will be included in my "Welcome" thread, listed here, however I felt that it was needed to make a separate post as that one you are likely to use once and discard.
Like a bad hooker, amifuckingright?Anywho, I was requested to post this so forgive me if you are already aware. Here are a list of the emotes now available on dotabuff forums and usable in the [color=#00FFFF]Dota 2 client[/color] as well.Emotes are used in the same manner as Steam Emotes. Simply add : : to the front and back of a word. :example:
Somewhat standard BBcode is in effect, common syntax's are listed. Due to the "code" syntax being disabled, please remove the periods from the code/syntax to use.
