Ah, The Halo Movie Discussion Thread. I have been there for a little while, fighting valiantly for the anti-Halo movie.... thingy. Any road, my time there has pointed out some glaringly rude conduct regarding posting. This is prob. falling on well behaved ears, but what the hell. Here are a few useful tips that will help you gain acceptance and maybe a little respect. 1. Read the previous posts. Is not that much hard work. If the thread is only a few pages long, it doesn't take too long to have (at the very least) a quick skim throught the previous pages to see what has or has not been discussed, who the main posters are, to look for quotes you might like to use and to generally see how the post has gone. Posts flow like a river, and you must be in the boat of knowledge. 2. Use the [q ] [/q ] function. It is VERY basic, and it makes it clear what points you are addressing. 3. Use correct grammar and spelling (a point mentioned many times before) 4. Respect other peoples point of view. Your opinion is not the only opinion in the entire world on any given subject. 5. Point, counterpoint. Makes for interesting debates. 6. Use the edit button! It's right next to the 'Reply to' button. It's not that difficult. ([i] There we go goweb, just for you ;-) [/i] ) Follow these tips, and you shall be loved. Or, at the very least, not get beaten up so much. [Edited on 9/30/2004 12:36:07 PM]
