The first time I was here I came across the “What this forum needs . . .” thread. Finding it quite interesting I wanted to say something, but I felt that enough had been said already. So I went off to post away.

I’ve been posting here now for about a month and a half. I’ve discovered for myself the extent of this problem. That’s why I’m going to fix it rite now.

How to use this thread:

[Posting]

First of all, don’t even think about posting here if you’re not going to be:

1) Ready for criticism.
2) Willing to work on whatever it is that might be wrong.
3) Able to discuss it with someone civilly.
4) Rational enough not to post a bunch of stuff all at once.
5) Ready for criticism.

If you don’t feel like getting publicly beaten, or you’re going to be embarrassed, type PM next to the title when you post.

It’s probably healthier if you just take your beating . . .

[Reading/Replying]

- When not to:

1) When you’re not going to take the time to actually give it all of your attention.
2) When you don’t have more then two sentences worth of commentary.

Give some details:
What went wrong?
What didn’t?

3) When you’re going to worry about hurting someone’s feelings.
4) When you‘re not smart enough to make more than one comment, that you post on everyone’s work !!!

There you go, problem solved . . .
If there’s something that I’ve forgotten, then we'll just have to fix it.

So who’s first?
