I stumbled onto this while reading through the ScummVM forum. It goes beyond the usual (and obvious, one would think) "use proper spelling and grammar", and brings up points such as "Resist the temptation to close your request for help with semantically-null questions". Things I, myself, am guilty of. It mostly just applies to the hardware/software and hacking forums, but I figured I'd pass the word around, in case you want to suggest that others read it in some form or another.

Edit: Left out the "=" in the tag. Sorry about that.

The link in your post leads to this exact thread. You used the wrong html code for url's.

This is where you wanted us to go, no?

No, his link went nowhere. It wasn't a link. It was just an A tag that went nowhere.

It's fixed in this post.

Part of your thread makes sense but most of it doesnt.

If you want people to accnowledge your problem, its basically not sounding like a noob when posting for help, and of course following the FAQ. Does that help at all?

Clearly you misunderstood. This thread doesn't contain a question. It merely offers a link to the FAQ of another forum, which attempts to hold its users to higher standards - which similarly seems to be the goal for the Acmlm hacking forums. In that sense, it's a suggestion.

I've seen the "how to ask a question the smart way" thing before, but frankly, nobody reads stickies and such around here so I wonder how helpful that kind of thing would be anyway.
