In case you're unaware, Wii U Forums - The World's Largest Wii U Community has this amazing group known as "Guides". I'd like to thank Feld0 (admin & site owner of theWiiU) for allowing me to introduce this idea to the 3DSForums. (You should register there, right now!)

What is a Guide?
A Guide is a user who welcomes members to the forums and reminds them to read the forum rules. Guides are chosen role-models of the forums. This means they're active and very friendly users who follow and respect the forum rules. Additionally, users are able to ask Guides for help regarding the forum. However, technical issues should be taken up with an Administrator or Moderator.

It is strongly encouraged that your welcoming is very personalized. Read through the introduction, and reply showing interest towards the user and what they've written.

This will help create a positive atmosphere here at the 3DSForums, and create a great first impression of the forum to the new user.

Is a Guide some sort of Moderator?
Guides are not Moderators in anyway, Guides do not have any power. They're an example of the ideal member.

Can "Guidemanship" be taken away?
Yes, that is if you do not fulfill your responsibility. This includes being very in-active without notice, not welcoming new users, or breaking forum rules.

How do I apply?
All you have to do is leave a post here explaining why you want to be a Guide, and why you believe you're an ideal member. Your infraction and warning history have an impact on whether or not you'll be chosen.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask them.

Now remember, as a guide you must...

• Be a role-model
• Follow the rules
• Welcome new users, also reminding them to read the rules

All Guides have been selected. They're:
banjo3dsie
Jonny Epidemic
Kinvara
MaMPRR
Nophoria
Order
Scootaloo
Phones
TheGaymer
ZeroChrome

Guides are shining examples of the ideal user.

That sounds pretty cool actually. Id be glad to help out new users if they have any questions Sign me up.

I will be a guide, err volunteer my services to this.

Because we need more members like me~

This seems like a job I can do, I'd be glad to help as well! :3

I can be a guide, I think I can handle it :]
Application in white: Highlight to read, if you must.

I obey the rules I would say, only had 1 infraction.... But I mean come on, it's from Baroque. But that was in those darker days
I would say I'm friendly to most users, I don't think I have any enemies.
I would love to be a guide and help out the kiddies!

I'd like to be a guide. I feel that welcoming people is something I can do easily and with a positive attitude. People on here know me generally as the nice guy who tries to avoid confrontations and such. I think that it'd be the right fit for me.

I would like to apply to be a guide.

In the past, I have been kind of, well, you know. But I think I have grown since then and I would be a good choice for a guide. I would like to help new users avoid the mistakes I have made in the past.

Also, I welcome members a lot, plus I enjoy helping people out.

I shall be a guide. Why? I have an excellent attitude and is very kind. I have expirenced all of 3DS Forums and I think I can take the challenge of helping the newer members.

ill apply as well, i'm pretty easy to get along with and i follow the rules regularly. Never received an infraction in the 10 months ive been here.

I believe I would be perfect for this position. I'm already used to welcoming new people to the forums. I also let new people know if they are posting in the wrong forum, etc. I am also on here 24/7, so you don't have to worry about me being inactive. I also follow the rules, and have yet to receive an infraction.

Sounds like you're asking people to be a 3DSForums Greeter, so what does their history of rule-breaking have to do with saying "welcome" to new members and pasting the rules?
Edit: I think you should just get more moderators if you want more people telling people what the rules are, rather than this.

Whenever I post on a new-user thread I do read through their post and respond accordingly.
I wanted to be a guide on thewiiu.com but I didn't like the forums very much.

So, I'd love to be part of this.

I am the perfect forum goer. Make me a guide. also I am always online

I know I don't stand a chance with all the other nice people of this forum, but I'll like to apply to be a guide. I like helping people; and welcoming new people seems to be a nice way to make new friends. .
Also I haven't broken a rule or received an infraction since I been on here.
I know, I only been here since July 2011, but I been pretty active. I'm online every spare time I have.
I just like to help the forum, just like it helped me.

Make 'em chocolate chip cookies and you got yourself a deal Missy.

Greeter, haha, basically. The reason rule-breaking plays a role is because the user selected will be represented as the ideal user. We don't want someone with multiple infractions (or someone who will knowingly break rules) to be a Guide.

One expired infraction does not count.

Hey kurt, I know I am not a senior member but I am active everyday. Can I be a mod? Pretty please with ponies on top?

This could be the hardest job I did in my whole life but the great shadow can do this I am iconic and friendly to everybody atleast that's what I think

Hey, guess I'll try.

I'm not exactly the IDEAL one, but I'm a pretty good example. Plus, I'm more than happy to show newbies the ropes.

Does this mean the current 5 will be replaced by 5 new ones tomorrow, or 5 new ones will join the current 5 tomorrow, and if so, will these additions stop at some point?

No. I will be stopping at 10 Guides for about a month. After that month I'll make my decision whether or not we'll be keeping Guides. If so, then the grand total of Guides will be 20.

Good idea, Kurtiss. I take pride in being a Guide over at the Wii U Forums.
I've come to notice that welcoming here is hard because there are so many new arrivals all the time. Guides will be a really good thing about for the 3DSForums.

Hehe, that said, I'm not applying. I just wanted to say good work. You are taking very well to being an admin.

well, i would like to join the welcoming committee. why you ask? because i want to help noobies on the forum find their way around these great forums and teach them how awesome ponies are and i have always wanted to help the forums somehow

Hi Kurtiss! I think i'd be perfect for the team. I'm very active and i always let people know about the rules if they forget. I'm a very friendly guy and i hope you consider me!

I'm all for this. Kurt, my little brony, make me a GUIDE!

BAR IS BACK!!!!!!!!!

sounds cool, i'd like to be a guide
i havent posted much in the welcome threads but i have tried helping other users as much as when i see trouble

I would like to sign up. I'm frequently online and I welcome new members, which is one of the things I enjoy doing here most, so it seems like a good fit.

I don't make negative remarks to people asking questions others find "obvious", but rather show compassion to see where they're coming from, I stay respectful to other members and I follow the rules.

Well there's my application!

You can put me on the list.

I want to welcome new people to video-gaming in general and I'd be happy to help new members navigate this forum. I try my best to follow the rules so I'd think I'd be a decent role model.

Hello!
Can i be a guide????, ive been here since before order!!

So do we get a pending list or a current list or what?

I want to be a guide. We need some variety from all of these sticks-in-the-mud.

Oooh! I want to be a guide, and here's why I think I should be one:

I visit the forums everyday

and I have been here since Feb. and haven't gotten an infraction.

How did I manage to miss this thread? Whatever, I'm over-qualified, just add me to the mod squad instead.

Nollog Should be a MOD/ADAMIN not a Guide!

I don't think im qualified because most ever one that knows me hates me. (online wise that is)

I should totally join this thing in order to teach members how to be like me. This forum would benefit from more mini-Storms.

However, that would be work. So I'm not volunteering.

*This post has been edited to be awesome.

I see people here who had applied, then go and troll about it because they didn't get picked for the trial run. Real mature, because if you don't get in right away, it should be mocked?

On a side note, if a 'guide' posts a link to the rules in a thread, there's no need for anyone else to link it. The goal is to make a point to welcome every member so they can have a nice introduction into the forums, and feel relaxed/welcomed in arriving (I for one enjoy doing this). Posting rules and regulation multiple times throughout their introduction, makes it a stiff atmosphere - the opposite of what the position is for.

I'd like to be a guide because I have not recieved an infraction or a deleted thread/post and I come on the forums quite a few times a day, every day, I also like to talk to people who are new to the forums

You should be a guide just for your avatar.

I would like to be guide. I can make a difference!

^ Avoid that last quote

Anyway I should be chosen because I have no infractions and has been here for awhile. I try to help me (somewhat) and I know I could be very helpful and welcoming. Also, I visit multiple times a day.
