Studynama Forums General Posting Guidelines
We figured this was necessary because a lot of people come in and post threads without thinking, and without realizing that there is no possible way they could get help because of the way they posted the question. Here are some general guidelines.
1. Please use SEARCH first!
There is a pretty good chance that unless you have some really odd or unique problem that it has been addressed on our forum before, please use the forum's search feature first to see if there are already some good threads on the subject. It's easy to search, just click the Search button at the top right of the page.
2. Be DESCRIPTIVE and Don't use stupid topic names
Post a descriptive topic name! Give a short summary of your problem IN THE SUBJECT. (Don't use attention getting subjects. They don't get attention and only annoy people). Here's a great list of topic subjects YOU SHOULD NOT POST :
Generally ANYTHING similar to those is unacceptable. Just post your problem.
Here is a good example of a way to post a question
Remember when people help you, they are doing YOU a favor
Be patient, help people out by posting good descriptions of what you need help with, and not snapping at people with garbage such as if you aren't going to help, don't waste my time replying.
