They will not increase your chances of becoming a moderator.
In other words, please post only when you have something meaningful to contribute.

If you think someone is abusing our Private Message system, or if you are being attacked through personal messages, forward the PM(s) to a staff member.

If things begin to become extremely inappropriate, contact a staff member immediately.

Please only "bump" your threads every 24 hours to give a chance for newer posts to get responses as well.
