Unwritten "rules" of the boards...
What are some unwritten rules we have on these boads- sort of like an etiquette to follow, out of respect for other posters? i think it would help some of the newer posters on here.
I'll start:
When posting a photo that some might see as "graphic", please include a disclaimer in the title.
When posting a spoiler for a tv show or movie, PLEASE warn us in the title of the thread ex: DWTS WARNING **SPOILER ALERT**

If you post in the wrong forum and know that you're posting in the wrong forum, don't b*tch when it gets moved. Or blame Ron.

When it works, the search feature is a very powerful thing and can avoid the need to post a new thread altogether.

Re: Unwritten "rules" of the boards...
If you can google something to get an easy answer, don't ask on the board. Just go ahead and google it.

I wonder what everybody would do if the site admins decided to remove those two. 
Would have made a good April Fools joke.

Try to make the subject of the thread informative, so people know what the topic is about.

Make your title ABOUT your thread - don't try to make a title that people will open and then whack us with a different subject....

Re: Unwritten "rules" of the boards...
Try to make your posts about something we can actually talk about.
Threads that are actually random thoughts, that have no substance belong on a blog

Re: Unwritten "rules" of the boards...
If you're going to post continual updates - a few tips
1. Create ONE thread, and update your original post with dates and such. This way, we don't have to search through 48 pages of thread to find the update.
2. Make the updates meaningful - no need to create 2,012 original threads that update the story, that really don't say anything.

Re: Unwritten "rules" of the boards...

the time you spend posting to ask if tonight's episode of grey's is a new one, will be lessened by going to TVGuide.com and finding out the answer

So what should people be posting about that we can actually talk about?
