Forum Posting
From Grand Prix Racing Online
Any user, who is registered and approved by admin, is entitled to use the forums. The official language of the forums is English; other languages may be spoken in the national forums only.
The rules for the forum are:
- No offensive or rude language
- No insulting other managers
- No religious or political material
- No discussions related to illegal distribution of copyrighted software or the use of such software
- No advertisements (unless previously approved by the GPRO Crew)
- No posting of referral links of any kind
- No revealing detailed information about the game
- Do not post private messages on the forums without prior consent of the sender (if you feel that a private message you received is in any way offensive or inappropriate you should take it up with a member of the GPRO crew directly)
- Post threads in the appropriate forum
- The moderators decision is final (see Forum Moderators)
Overall, there are only really a few rules you need to remember:
- Is my post, helpful or relevant to the topic of the thread?
If it isnt, then dont post it, as a wise man once said 'If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all'
- Will my post cause me to receive a PM from the Mods because it breaks one of the forum rules?
If you think it will, then don't post, if you are not sure, then either don't post, or send a PM first (to either a Mod or an Admin - depending on the question).
- Before you create a new thread do a search, then search again, and then search one more time to be certain. Dont just look for your topic title, but for the keys words, like "Driver", or "Wear". The odds are that your question or suggestion has come up before and been answered already.
Did You Know?!
Every group in the game has its own group forum. The link to this can be found on your main office page, just under the link to your mailbox. Here you can chat to the other managers in your group about race results, qualifying and so on.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does "FOBY" mean?
FOBY is an acronym for "Find Out By Yourself".
You might at first think this is offensive (and GPRO crew members will frown on people who use it exclusively with no explanation), but basically GPRO is a game that requires a lot of your own data analysis. You will find answers to certain questions within the Rules, FAQs, Newbie Guide, and here - but anything else (e.g. Fuel consumption, Tyre wear, Which driver stats are most important, etc) will need to be investigated by analysing your own data to draw your own conclusions.
How do I search the Forums?
Access the forums using the button labelled "Forum" at the top of the page, then select the Search link (http://www.gpro.se/forum/Search.asp).
