The Criteria of a Good Post. 8 years 10 months ago #147693

I am bored so I am bothering to create the posting criteria that I personally try to meet in every one of my posts.

__________

It has to be meaningful to the discussion.
Has to be related and provide a different view point or perspective or insight to a post.

Must be formal.
Spelling, grammar and good use of language and BBCode.

Provide constructive criticism.
Not just: Its bad. Its bad because.. and can be improved by..

Be honest.
If you don't agree with it personally there is no point agreeing because they are your friend.

Side notes.
Side notes can have banter Eg. (Sorry kitty. I did not add pink in eligible colours)
A means of not being formal in a polite manor.

Don't Post for the sake of posting.
If your view has already been expressed by another just thank their post as a way of saying, Yes your right.
Don't spam the forums with post after post after post.

Rants.
If your mad then express that in the most meaningful way possible in a way people can understand where your coming from.
Eg. I don't agree or support X due to X
Not: efjojefjei your an asshole because I hate youejdpwjeofjewfjwefjei

Only Eligible Colours in my text:
Greys, Black, Red, Green

Formatting BBCode.
Use formatting bbcode but not an excessive amount.
Bold. Italics. Underline. Ect.
___________
Common sense. Use it.

Grey is a little unreadable in some cases, so i wouldn't place it there, other than that, this is pretty good. Nice work man, I hope people actually read this so they can understand how to post good replies instead of some silly ones I see now and then.

It was not meant to be that light. I have fixed it to make it quite a lot darker.

No, I did consider it but that should be a blatantly obvious one. If people can't get that one then I have no hope anymore.

Alright, all good I guess, you could also add that it is useful to use Bold and Italics in your reply, but not to an excess.

It is not meaningless. I am expressing what I feel what makes a good post. I guarantee that you could find more meaningless/useless posts than this. If you have a problem with my thread then state how I can not make it "meaningless"

Meaningless? In a thread you say this? Laughable. Thanks for the information; I use my own type of constructive posts anyways.	Studio Banter Offline Marvelous Boarder ❤️ Posts: 14007 Thanks received: 5848 Karma: -60

(Yes, I don't like using "thanks" button

I can't believe you out of all people would say this.
Even this post that i quoted is an example of a meaningless post. Just press the thanks button god damn it maybe you wouldn't sit right there making a useless post, agreeing to someone that this thread is a useless thread. Wallcop is trying to help and since he began helping people, he didn't do anything useless. Unlike "somebody else" that i see on every thread making a meaningless post agreeing to someone or something else. You don't gain reputation on here because of a stupid number under your name, you gain reputation if you are being helpful, funny or even critical. Not by shitposting.

The moral of the story is: If you can't do it better just shut up.

Seems like what I said was understood very wrong. I meant that if people would use their common sence, they should know how to make a proper post. Even in school you learn how to write formal letters, so a post on a forum shouldn't be far from that. Anyway, with saying "meaningless", I didn't mean any offence to Wallcop.

A lot of people could use this advice, thanks for making the post Wallcop, hopefully people will follow this. I'm quite tired of shitposters and people who just say e.g. ( +Support or -Support )	stratiic Offline User is blocked spitting in your mum's twat Posts: 4803 Thanks received: 1452 Karma: -19
