    Default Roadmap to Making a Good Post

    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.

    6) The best posts are where you are insulting someone which is warn-worthy.

    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.

    16) Don't spam just to annoy a certain user. Unless they really deserve to be annoyed.
