Well, i think we should post a topic in every forum that is stickied and has this filled into it
Title: NEW MEMBERS! Read Before Posting
Content:
A lesson in posting good threads. This is very important if people expect to be taken seriously in thier posts.
1) Read the Sitckies: The stickies provide very good information on the foum you are posting in. They can link you to specific topics already being discussed, with the possiblity of what you want to talk about being listed there, as well as rules and links that can help you avoid trouble.
2) Checking the forums: Before posting a new topic, check the forums for about 6 pages and search for any topics that may discuss what you want to talk about. This will help you avoid posting repeat topics and flames from angry members.
3) Grammar, Spelling, and Punctuation: This is very important. Proper English really is what puts an impression on the other members of the forum. Good grammar and spelling can make people take you more seriously, and think of you as a much more intelligent individual. An example:
Which of these looks more well thought out?
* SPARTANS! W0o7!! READ PLZ!
i think ther shood be more spartanz in campain they were in teh bookz so why not the gamez? come on bungie! put thems in teh bookz do you guyz think so too if you do post here thankz alot
* More Spartans in Campaign?
I feel that because of Halo 2's major parallel to the books, Halo 3 should go the final step and introduce the other spartans. How fun would it be to fight along side more super soldiers such as yourself?
It could also add alot to the story, by making campaign much more intricate with more diverse missions and individual abilities. If you were Linda, you would have a more steady sniper and a faster trigger finger, where if you were kelly, you would walk faster and have a quicker melee. And then other spartans would have different abilites with John as an all around spartan.
Not only would this add to strategy in campaign, but in Multiplayer as well. you could choose settings as Linda, Sam, Kelly, John, etc and have your character fine tuned to what you like to do most.
Now which one of those above topics was more pleasant to read?
Remember these things when posting. It will get you more respect and recognition on the forums, as well as not make you look like an idiot. Have Fun Posting!
What do you think of that? Good idea or bad idea?
