3 best forum posting tips here

[beellgreat]

What are the top three tricks you use to make your forum posts perform for you (i.e. deliver the desired result)? Here's mine:

1. Keep your posts as short and concise as possible.

2. Don't ramble on about how something pertains to yourself unless it is necessary. Instead relate it to your intended audience and get them involved and actively thinking about the subject.

3. Answer your own question. Instead of simply asking the question and hitting the submit button, imply the question and then put the answer in the mouth of the reader. This can spark very detailed responses by those who don't agree, they often feel compelled to explain themselves.
