I've noticed there are a lot of questions that get asked almost daily, so here's some of the answers, if you have anything to add/amend, please do so in the comments and I'll add it to the main post.
Q. How come some people can have such large signatures?
A. They made their signatures before the restrictions were put in place and haven't edited them.
Q. What do the icons next to a thread's title mean?
A.
Q. I have a warn status bar, am I in trouble?
A. Hover your mouse over the bar, it will tell you a what percent you are at, 0% = no warning, if you have warnings, click "Warn Status" and it will tell you what you were warned for, you should also get a notification. Penalties are as follows, but are variable depending on the severity of the offense (1 point = 10%):
1 Point: No Posting Suspension
2 Points: 3 Day Posting Suspension
3-5 Points: 7 Day Posting Suspension
6-7 Points: 14 Day Posting Suspension
8-9 Points: 30 Day Posting Suspension
10 Points: Permaban
Q. Reputation, what is it, how do I earn it, and how do I know when I got it?
A. You earn a reputation point every time somebody clicks the green + button on the bottom right of your posts, you can't see it on yours but you can on everybody elses, and if you click the number you will find out who gave the person a point. There is no current way to be alerted when you receive reputation, and it doesn't effect anything.
Q. What is this title below my profile picture (examples: Newly spawned, Diamond Miner, Pig Tamer).
A. Once again, purely aesthetic. Your rank goes up along with how your number of posts, and there is a slightly outdated list of all titles here.
Q. How do I change the title of my post?
A. Go to your post, click edit, and then click "use full editor" (should be towards the bottom of the editing area). After clicking that their should be an option at the top of the editor to change your post title.
Q. I made my account before the 20th May 2011 and I can't log in, how do I get it back?
A. If you don't have a Curse account already, register one at www.curse.com then click here at the sign in page. Type in your old MCF credentials in the left box that appears, log in and then merge it with your Curse account at the next page. If you don't remember your MCF password, use the MCF password reset form. If you still can't log in there with your old MCF account, then log in with your Curse account in the right box and post about your problem here.
Q. How do I get a name change?
A. Request it here!
Q. I want to have my topic removed, how do I do this?
A. Report the original post asking for it to either be locked/deleted. A moderator will get around to it when available. This is also the way to request a topic be moved to another part of the forum.
Q. Somebody is spamming/insulting people, what do I do?
A. Report their post and say in the description of the report that you believe the person is spamming/being offensive.
Q: Why aren't my videos showing up in the video section?
A: If you just submitted it, then wait awhile, a video moderator must approve it first. If it has been awhile it means that it was not approved because it: 1. was not related to minecraft 2. had inappropriate material 3. the video has been made several times before and yours contributed nothing (ie. how to install mods).
Q: How do I add pictures to my post?
A: Type it like this
[img]Web Address Here[/img]
Q. How can I be notified when somebody responds to my post?
A. On the top right of every page your profile picture is there, click it, and follow these steps: 1. click "edit my profile" below the search bar 2. click "settings" on the brown bar 3. click "notification options" below where you clicked "settings"
4. choose how and when you want to be notified.

A mod has to do it, you can either PM one, or ask for them to shut it down in the thread itself.
Not sure how complete/accurate this is so I'm not adding it to the OP unless it's confirmed.Thanks for the confirmation Beltir.
Confirmed. Mostly, anyways.
Report the original post asking for it to either be locked/deleted. A moderator will get around to it when available.
It's hard to follow your dreams when you run from your nightmares. --
A: YES!
Q: how do i add pictures to my thread

A: click this button at the bottom left of the post!
don't have to add them, just trying to help out
Thanks, added to the OP.
Q: what is the warn status under my name?
A: This refers to how many times you have been warned for breaking the rules, as long as you follow the rules you don't need to worry about it. Clicking it will allow you to see all of your infractions. Only moderators and you can see your warn status.
You already have access to this information by mousing over on your bar.
Venit, quessit, induravit.
i know you can see what your warn level is, but i mean what the punishments are... maybe i'm just missing something
also i have seen more than few "what is the warn status" threads on the forums
I've had this on it since the original post was made.
WOW! can't believe i missed that, swear i read the thing 3 three times to make sure...
These are the suspensions per warning level. These aren't set in stone however...
1 Point: No Posting Suspension, 2Points: 3 Day Posting Suspension, 3-5 Points: 7 Day Posting Suspension, 6-7 Points: 14 Day Posting Suspension, 8-9 Points: 30 Day Posting Suspension, 10 Points: Permaban
Not really, the rules are somewhat outdated, they list the 4 point system that used to be in place.
And thanks for clearing that up Jefe.
cool, thanks for letting us know!
Again, it explains the old system:
1 warning is just a warning
2 is a 3 day suspension
3 is a week
4 is a permaban
And clicking your status bar will bring up what you have been warned for, not the penalties for future warnings.
Edit: er, what happened to his posts?
A: click the "use full editor" on the bottom if you haven't already, then look on the side and you should see all the emoticons... if not you can also type them out they are
