There are some instruction posts here and there I (or someone else) can grab for you, but most of the giveaways are wiki-based, ie there’s a list and people wanting-in click on a pencil icon at the bottom of the list that allows them to edit it, and then they add their name (with the at symbol before their username with no space between), and then save the change. It’s a little more complicated, but that’s the basics.

You likely need to move up a level in membership to be able to edit a wiki. Keep reading and posting and liking and you’ll move up in no time.

Here’s a post on wiki editing etiquette from the resident super user, Doug:

Wiki editing etiquette and steps

Hello OG, this may have been covered before but I can’t find where so I thought I would make a quick post regarding Wiki editing. Many times now I have seen people editing a Wiki and overwriting or deleting another users info. This can be frustrating so here are a couple things to look for when editing a Wiki. Please feel free to add more tips below so we can help the folks who are not sure about the process. First off to edit a Wiki you click on the edit button with the pencil at the bottom ri…

Hi.

Thank you for your prompt reply.

Sorry for being such a stiff but how does one member PM another?

[Budderton]

Click on my icon and there will be a message bar. Click that and you will go to private message.
Let me know if you have any problems.

Problem solved: @Budderton to the rescue.

It’s really quite easy, just sign up

Hey man, welcome to OG. My best suggestion is hang out and interact with folks. You will quickly pick up on things. You won’t be able to sign up for many of the giveaways until you get to TL2 or member status. Before that you cannot edit a wiki in the trading post section. Take a look at the link below that will explain how trust levels work and how you can advance through them. Looking forward to watching your journal.

Explaining user trust levels and permissions

im reading this thread and it seems to help me understand a few things… but im currious what is the best way to up my level fairly fast.? i would love to join in on the seedy days …and get some seed to grow. if you get to a higher level… why do you get demoted? rl happens sometimes… computer dies…etc… is there a way to keep your level? still reading this thread… so by time someone answers… lol i might have already found it lol.

Very OG of ya. Another prime example of the generosity of the folks here.

[BigMike55]

Holy shitballs, man!
Hey. I’m a newbie, too. Hint, hint. Wink, wink.

[Foreigner]

Yeah don’t ignore us new folks!

(I’m just teasing I got something from you the other day!)

[OhNo555]

Man what a nice guy to send someone a gift like that. Those are the kinda things that make this a great form.

[CanuckistanPete]

I guarantee you’ll be more than happy with @Buddertons genetics. The guy knows what he’s doing.

[Foreigner]

I was informed there was free shit here. Or maybe I had free shit to give away?

I don’t even remember anymore…

[AzSeaindooin420]

Hell ya! Looks like someone is getting buddered!

I’ve grown out some of buddertons stuff and ur in for a real treat!(and some serious frost)

Also of note, if you look at the first message you recieved when you signed up to join OG, you will find that Lemonade Joe has sent you links to the docs you should read (labelled must read) which explain how to use OG, including all your requested use cases

[Vomact]

Good morning.

You are absolutely right.

I should have read it when I received it. At the time it seemed like ‘homework’ and as an indifferent student I neglected mine. Thanks for the correction @herojuana.tom

[herojuana.tom]

No worries, nobody likes fine print! I would say that less than 10% of users show signs that they have read these docs

[Foreigner]

I have to admit I didn’t read it but that’s my way.
