Not to bump an old thread but we are quickly coming up to the part of the season that some of us dread, Game Hint Season. I can't speak for everyone but I know that one of my personal reasons for hating this time of the season is the rash of semi-literate posts that seem to appear on here. So I am going to try to make a quick checklist for people posting.
- Did you read the thread?
- All of the thread?
- Really? The whole thread?
- Write your post.
- Did you hit the preview button at least once?
- Did you proofread your post?
- Go back and proofread it once more time.
- Hit Submit
- Read what was posted just to make sure.
- Fix any mistakes.
Just keep in mind that if you take the time to put forth an effort to communicate clearly most people will respect what you have to say more than if you communicate in an ineffective manner. It doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to be a good faith effort.
Hopefully we can avoid threads where the first two pages are repeated for 500+ posts.
