Should there be a Build posting Template?

[Philcat101]

We have all seen it: A poorly written build suggestion that someone put up and it is not suitable to reply to.

 

People often don't state the use, budget, currency, upgrade reasons, and focus of a PC. On the other end of the spectrum, people overwrite a build plan into an unstructured documentary that is just as hard to try to give advice to.

 

It is not that easy to put everything into an understandable log, but a few people out there and I think it is a good idea to create a template for these logs. It would be similar to the normal editor, but it would have text field populated, like this:

 

__________________________________________________________

BUDGET AND CURRENCY

 

USE AND PROGRAMS AND GAMES BEING USED

 

REASON FOR UPGRADE

 

[Export PC part picker part list here]

__________________________________________________________

 

It would be also optional, so you could just use the trusty normal editor.

 

So what do you think? Let me know with a vote in the poll!

Looks like someone didn't read before posting

I know there is this, but it would be nice to have a pre built template to use every time instead of starting from scratch every log.

That is a pretty good template

This solves the problem of having to review that guide, and it just loads in text for headers as a reminder.
