Size:  79.1 KB

What are the advantages to having an Avatar?
This is displayed at the side of every post that you make, as well as shown in Chat. People find it much easier to remember you if you have a unique Avatar. Strangely you are often more likely to make friends etc with an Avatar as it looks like you are prepared to spend a bit of time and effort on getDare making yourself seen

Does an Avatar need to be a picture of yourself?
No an avatar can be almost anything, from a clothed picture of yourself to a picture of your favourite food, pet, hobby etc There’s almost no limits EXCEPT please do not post revealing photos of yourself / others and remember that anyone can see this and there are 13 year olds on the site.

IMPORTANT
DO NOT POST NAKED PHOTOS

What are the advantages to having a Signature?
A signature is very useful to portray yourself. You may want to say something that people keep asking yourself when you first chat, therefore trying to eliminate common chat eg) name, age, country what looking for. Alternatively you can have links to some of your popular threads. If you are interested in doing dares, it can be a handy place to say what you like, dislike, are your limits etc.

TIP
Try to have something unique / unusual so people will remember you – add a bit of colour a small image etc can also be handy

IMPORTANT
DO NOT POST NAKED PHOTOS

REMEMBER TO KEEP YOUR SIGNATURE TO A MANAGEBLE LENGTH – NOT EXCESSIVELY LONG

HOW TO THANK / RATE THREADS

Rate Threads
It is very useful to rate threads as to how useful – informative etc you have found it- please do not just rate the best and worst threads as this feature is designed to help others find something useful in the future eg: high rated stories, blogs, truths etc.

Name:  THANKS & RATINGS.jpg
Views: 7918
Size:  58.6 KB

Thank Threads
When you thank a thread others can see that you have done so. This is useful to tell others that you persoanlly would like to say thank you. This often makes you seem like a gentleman / lady. However don’t thank any old thread as this is supposed to be special and if you’ve thanked a thread no one else likes – poor spelling grammer etc it can often do just the oposite to your reputation

The Thank button is at the bottom of the first Post

MAKING A NEW THREAD

What is a thread?
A thread is a new topic page eg –Truths, Dares, Stories, Lounge Game etc,

What should I do before making a new thread?
Before making a new thread it is always suggested you search (search tool) to check there is not already the same or very similar thread – in this case do NOT duplicate

Check which forum your new thread is best to be placed inside – eg if story will it have EXTREME mature content place in rated 18 Mature Stories if not place in Tuth or Dare story section. If you are unsure either read a few stories in different categories to see what others are like, or ask someone for advice – moderators are recommended but any MATURE ADULT that has been a member for a while with multiple posts is better than no one.

IMPORTANT
A lot of people post truth questions in the truth forum however ONLY truths that would be considered embarrassing or exciting to answer are supposed to be in here eg questions regarding fetish, sexuality etc. If your thread is something like Favorite Food – this should be placed in the Lounge Forum.

Remember when posting anything on getDare you are agreeing that you will not post any messages that are obscene, vulgar, sexually-oriented, hateful, threatening, or otherwise violative of any laws.

How to create?
One of the easiest ways to create a new thread is to click on “QUICK LINKS” at the top of any page, here you can see what the new posts have been: Scroll down to the bottom of the page to where it says “Forum Jump” click on the arrow next to it, and select your chosen forum. You can then view other threads or create a new one. When you are creating a new thread remember to check all punctuality and grammer to the best of your ability (understand not everyones best subject – but can still try) Do not use slang user proper spelling and grammer – DO NOT chat like “dood r u my m8“

CHAT

There are currently 4 different chat rooms all designed for a different purpose. Please check which you are in and keep to the correct room for the type of chat messages you are sending eg:
The Lounge Room: - One of the most popular rooms – this is where general chat takes place,
Truth or Dare Room: The place for Truth or Dare
The Dare Slave: The place for Master / Mistress and Slaves
The Scene: The place for BDSM

How to navigate to rooms
Click on Rooms at the top left of the chat box

Name:  chat.jpg
Views: 6951
Size:  62.7 KB

How to draw pictures?
To draw a picture click on the paint / note pad symbol shown in the above example, this is at the bottom left of the page. You will then get a blank box to paint your picture. Click on the PLUS and MINUS symbols to select a larger or smaller paint brush. Click one of the 26 different colours and away you go. When you have finished painting click Submit and everyone can view your master piece.

Edit text – colour font italic etc
Click on the different symbols at the bottom left corner of chat to select if you wish your text to be in BOLD, ITALIC and what COLOUR you wish to be using. It can sometimes be recommended to use the same type of font / colour boldness etc every time you are in chat as people get used to looking out for certain colours to see if you are around. However try not to choose the same as so many others as can make chat look rather complicated.

Send a Whisper
A whisper is a message sent to a single recipient that no-one else is aware of; This is done by selecting the user from the list of names in the column on the right. If you now type a message and press enter in the small white box under the user’s details, the message you send is sent privately to that single person.

Send a private chat request?
You can send a private chat request and chat to someone in your own private room. The advantage of this is that other people’s conversations will not be portrayed. To do this click on your chosen partners name to show there details. At the bottom of this click on PRIVATE CHAT. This then sends them a personal private chat asking if they want to chat with yourself.

IMPORTANT
I would recommend that before you ask to chat in private you at least acknowledge the person first in chat, as not doing this can upset some people and if they are painting interrupts there activity (deletes it.)

Identify the user you are talking to
If you click on the users name in the general large chat box before you send a message. The message will start something similar to: example: ‹@Leopard› Hello– this makes it a lot easier for your recipient to understand you are chatting with them.

Need assistance from Moderator (Mod)
If you need the assistance from a moderator you can often tell if one is in the room at the present time by looking at the symbol before the users name – if there is one that appears as a green man), this is a mod (moderator) If you want to know if someone is a moderator you can click on the person’s name to get there details. If the top line says getDare Staff you know you have found a moderator.

VISITOR MESSAGES

Visitor messages are a great way to get yourself seen and noticed by others; they are also a nice way to welcome someone new and can be a good friendly way of introduction

When creating a visitors message it is wise to Preview your message before sending especially if you have an image attached, as some times images can be larger than you expect or have errors and can’t be installed.

Everyone is able to see your visitor message, so if you want it to be private you are best to send as a Private Message

ADDING FRIENDS

After you have grown close to someone or have made friends you can ask if want to be your online friend. To do this click on their profile followed by selecting User List and adding them as a friend.

The other advantage to doing this is that off your profile you can find there details much easier allowing you to send private messages

You then have to wait for them to accept or decline your friendship request. You can also befriend someone at any point from your user profile area.

BLOG

What is a Blog?
A blog is a different kind of forum where people can again post comments on the chosen subject. Blogs are your personal space to talk about whatever you want – as opposed to the forums, which should be topics everyone can participate in. The best way to see if your chosen thread / blog should be put up as a blog or thread is simply by reading a few others first.

How to create?
To create a new blog go to your profile page and click blog. You can now follow a similar sequence to creating a new thread.

HOW TO REPORT

If you see something in chat thats needs to be brought to someones attention – or a thread that needs the attention of a moderator please report it. However remember there are often certain measures you can take first depending on what your incident involves e.g. using the IGNORE feature if someone is pestering you

Name:  REPORT - IGNORE.jpg

Remember that moderators do everything out of the kindness of their hearts and are NOT paid. Please show them respect and respect they will show you.

Please do not abuse the report feature


Here is a list of all the getDare staff:

HOW TO QUOTE / MULTIPLE QUOTE

Name:  quote & multiple quote.jpg
Views: 6927
Size:  67.1 KB

Quoting someone else’s message or using the multiple quote feature can be very useful to tell others what you are referring to. Some threads you will find this used more than others as it helps in different ways. e.g.) A continuing list.

When you have quoted someone it is portrayed as a grey box, your message is usually underneath this and out of the box.

If you use a multiple quote - both previous messages will be inside DIFFERENT grey boxes, to easily define what each previous message was.
