The Ultimate Posting Topics Correctly Guide

ty but it's been said before that the people who post like this probably don't even read any pinned posts.

 

Not even the announcement at the top of GD.

But it would still make it easier to find... Easier to send a link for n00bs.

I might post this to suggestions also, but that gave me an idea. Rather than having CoC shoved into newcomers face during sign-up (suggested, didn't got much love), we could have landing page top of forum main page. Something thats default to all users but can be disabled in options. That page could have some basic things like links to Read Me's and reminder of general rules of posting. Not too big so that it won't annoy anyone but still big enough that you'll have to atleast glance it before scrolling for subforums.

1 problem. Most people that make all the dumb threads are new members and new members wont have seen this. so unless we all have it in our signatures then its not really gonna work

 

 

Even if it was in our signatures, idiots will still ignore it.

Proper grammar is #1. I can't even fucking handle a post that starts with:

Also, Comic Sans needs to die in a hole. Seriously.

That's going to be hard... ofFireandStone, HSS Revenir, BrandedUpontheGrave, Hellstorm six, Vanderhex... I'm kind of a name whore.

 

Also you'll be glad to know I've ceased using TNR italics since they changed the CoC to include excessive use of font and not just colors.

Do not  as I  do, and  not  as I say. Instead do as you may..

it's alright, all in jest.

 

I thought you would kind of laugh at the Italicized TNR part, though.

I had a chuckle or two, I've made a bit of a habit joking about my own use of it myself if you noticed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mind you I still go to swap to TNR on nearly every post, it's a hard habit to break after over a year of it being as instinctive as breathing.

Here's my short version (mainly for the troubleshooting) that I wish people would follow.

1. Use google to search (in case of a repost or a fix for your problem)

2. Make sure title makes sense and states clearly what your problem is. (example: New GPU causing BSOD in games)(and please use spell check)

3. State your current setup and/or the devices that are related to the problem.

4. List what methods you have tried to fix the problem.

 

 

The amount of times I've seen someone post without supplying any information about the problem or their hardware is just crazy.

Also, if I had a dollar every time I've googled their problem and found a solution on the 1st page of google... then I'd have a few dollars.

So? Sometimes, we need a little humour to go along with a post.

You shouldn't need a font to convey humor, you should be funny through what you say.
