This is just like the other roadmap thread only with a topic that might actually be helpful.

1.) Sarcasm is good, but people need to be able to understand that it's sarcasm.
2.) At least attempt correct punctuation and spelling
3.) Don't be rude
4.) Remember your not on an instant messenger so don't type like you are.

8: Avoid, AT ALL COSTS, stupid in-jokes because no one finds them funny and it doesn't make you look humorous. It makes you look like you spend far too much time on the Internet instead.

10) Don't spam and try to be nice and polit.

Note: I think that people should ease off about spelling and grammer. You see some people are not english so they have HUGE troubles cause of these. :(

11. Proofread.
12.Don't double post.
13.Quote someone when you're directly replying to him or her. It's confusing when the reader doesn't know who the poster is referring to.

That's just a poor excuse for not having 10,000+ posts.

I demand that the "don't be rude" rule be stricken from the record.

Rudeness is my gimmick.

35) I beg to differ. Possibly the best way to make sure your post is good is to fill it with an entirely unnecessary amount of superfluous, redundant words. The goal is to make sure your post is longer than all the posts that came before it. You can easily make up for post quality by including lots and lots and lots of quantity. I find that this is the probably the easiest way to make a good post. It doesn't really matter if everyone reads what you write. It doesn't even matter if you read what you write yourself. All that matters is that it's long. Nice and long. At some point you will likely begin to think to yourself, "Self, I think this post is too long. No one is going to read the whole thing. Isn't this bad?" The answer is no. It's very very good; it means you are making a good, quality post. Note that you don't actually have to write about a lot of different things. You can simply keep repeating the same thing over and over in slightly different ways. It's unlikely anyone will notice, given that no one is going to read it anyways. Just be sure to include a lot of variety in the types of words you use, and make sure you use as many of them as possible.

36) If there is an opinion needed in the post, then try to associate with someone who has the same opinion as you. That way, when some jerk comes along, you can both shove it in his/her face. :bigsmile:. I, personally, agree with Dr Unne.
