Since there is a large influx of members, I thought I would make a quick FAQ/Advice post

Q: Is X feature available? [Mostly used by people looking for RES functionality]

A: Probably not, however, the admins are paying attention to all the threads posted in /t/ideasforsnapzu , and will likely get to adding them fairly quickly. There is already a patch in the works that will add a lot of functionality.

Q: What is EXP, and why do we have it.

A: EXP is a system that slowly gates features while you learn the site. Its benefits are multifold, preventing trolling/abuse of downvotes, and encouraging people to become more involved with their profile. All of the main features of the site are accessable without leveling however.

Q: Are tribes different than subreddits?

A: Yes, they act as separate forums and tags. You can post a snap to multiple tribes, and the number of tribes you can post to at once goes up with level.

Q: Are upvotes and downvotes the same as on other sites?

A: No. Other sites see downvoting used as a way to signal disagreement or dislike of a post. Here however, downvotes aren't used unless the post is offensive or improper.

Q: I have an idea for the site, where can I put it so the admins will see it?

A: /t/ideasforsnapzu is the tribe for any ideas, bugs, or concerns about the site.

Q: What's the general rule with reposts?

A: Snaps that share the exact same url need to be avoided. This can be accomplished by adding more than one tribe to the original post. If the OP of that post hasn't added the other tribe, ask them to edit and include it. Users can cross-post when submitting links (how many tribes at once depends on the OP's level). Content that is the same old thing, again and again, regardless of the url, isn't prohibited, just frowned upon. Don't think you can just post everything old as new again. The community will have seen it already and will pass on upvoting it.

Q: How Do you set your snap category?

A: When you submit a post, on the right hand side, there will be a drop down menu labeled category. If you click that, you can see the various categories that you can post your snap under. If you don't set the category however, you cannot go back and edit it.

Q: How do you create a tribe?

A: Click your avatar in the Snapbar (the topbar), then click Tribe Memberships. On the right hand side of that page, you will see a grey button with the text Create Tribe. Click it, fill out the text boxes and accept the responsibilities of creating a tribe, and voila, one new tribe!

Q: How do you PM someone?

A: First you must follow the person you are trying to PM. After you do that, refresh their profile page, and you will see a Private Message button. Click it and you can send them a PM. They don't have to follow you to respond, and if you unfollow them after sending the initial PM, you can still keep corresponding.

Q: How does the leveling system work?

A: Details about the leveling system can be found here: http://snapzu.com/teamsnapzu/reputation-xp-a-guide-to-leveling-on-snapzu

Q: How do I reclaim an abandoned tribe?

A: Make a post in /t/reclaimtribe, or send a message to /Snapzuteam

There are a number of stickies posted site-wide that are there to help new users. I highly advise reading them as they answer a number of questions. If you'd like to chat with people who can help the IRC info is at /t/IRC, and there is almost always someone there to help.

If anyone has any additional questions they'd like added, let me know, and I'll answer them in the topic. Welcome to Snapzu, and enjoy yourselves!
