Read the FAQ before you make any threads, and in case you don't want to: read the guidelines to posting a thread, BEFORE you post the thread.
Posting Guidelines for the Ancient History Forum:
Please follow these guidelines if you expect to get an answer
It has come to our attention that people just aren't listening and simply posting topics which a) could've easily been solved or b) lack any information and sound like laziness on their behalf. If you follow these procedures, then it'll help not only us, but you, as those trying to help you will know EXACTLY what you are asking.
- First things, first:
It is imperative that you do a search of this FAQ, the resources and a search of the forum itself BEFORE you even consider posting a new topic. If there is an existing thread, post in that and we'll try and answer your question as promptly as possible.
WE WILL NOT DO YOUR ESSAYS/STUDY/NOTES FOR YOU. THIS IS NOT THE PURPOSE OF THIS SITE OR FORUM, AND THREADS ASKING FOR THIS WILL BE WARNED AND CLOSED. IF YOU WANT TO REPHRASE THE QUESTION IN ACCORDANCE TO THE GUIDELINES, THEN YOU MAY PM EITHER MYSELF, GRK_STYL OR ANTI AND WE WILL EDIT IT AND ONLY THEN WILL THE THREAD BE RE-OPENED
- What to write in your question/thread/post:
You MUST include the following if you want proper answers from us. The mods are incredibly busy people, and so are others, so by helping us out, you are helping yourselves out by allowing us to streamline the time needed to answer and understand your questions.
- A title which inclues more than: HELLLLLPPP!!! URGENT!!!! ESSAY DUE TOMORROWW!!!! The more you can include in the title and description the better your chances of attracting people to help you out.
- Module: ie, Personalities in their Time: Julius Caesar
- A focus question. No vague questions like: I have an essay due tomorrow, on the topic of discuss Julius Caesar's achievements with regards to the triumvirate. We can help you with sections and anything which you may have a query about, we cannot write out your essay the night before for you.
- Current material. You MUST include what you already know. It could be a short line explaining that you've made notes and are just unsure on the relevance of the SCU being issued during T. Gracchus' reign. But you MUST include some sort of evidence to show us that you have done your own work and that you are not being lazy.
- Contact details/Timeframe (optional): If you wish for this help to be done by a certain date, then please put contact details and/or a timeframe for those helping to try and help you by. There will be less priority given to those who post a timeframe consisting of a 'night-before' job. It is unfair on us and on yourself to do such a thing.
If you follow these simple rules, we will endeavour to provide help faster and you will gain with the speed and accuracy of information. Rather than having us re-teach you the course, this will help you develop your own study skills and use these resources as they were intended for.
