List of how Not to start a thread on CPF

[jusval]

I figured I would start a thread and try to keep it light instead of serious, so smile and don't take it bad. Comments in Red.

List of how Not to start a thread on CPF:

1.- Tell me which light to buy

2.- I've got xx.xx dollars and tell me the biggest bestest light I can buy (as well as batteries and a charger). (bring some more money)

3.- Show me your flashlight

4.- This is a Dumb question (yes it is, but we will be nice)

5.- Noob here.........

6.- Is my xxx light from China any good? (it's slightly better than no light at all)

7.- Is Greta putting weight on again? (it's just an example, don't ban me please)

8.- Why isn't xxxx yyyy stickied somewhere? (It's stickied 17 times in the forums already)

9.- If the world ends, which flashlight are you gonna take with you? (none, I'll be one of the first to go)

10.- Someone wanna make me a light? (sure, but my track record stinks)

Now I know there's a ton of them, so post Your favorites........

11) I have a question...
12) Need help...

I just find it frustrating when a thread title itself gives no or little clue to the subject of the thread

 

[greg_in_canada]

Ask a question in your title but don't use a question mark (tricking people into looking at your thread).

Example: "Arc AA coming soon" instead of "Arc AA coming soon?"

It's not so bad on this site since you can hover and see the first line of the post but is very frustrating on DPReview for example.

Misspelling the title, acknowledging the presence of the error, and then not changing it.

______________ (<-- insert laser company) is the (best/worst).



Myself, I welcome newbie and so called dumb questions. It's always a pleasure to help someone else get addicted to lights or to point them in the right direction. I enjoy sharing my little pieces of knowledge with others if they're willing to speak up and ask.

Sometimes thread tittles are totally incomprehensible, and so little thought has gone into the tittle that the reader doesn't have a clue what the thread is about.

Or the thread tittle announces a new light . EG: "Surefire with P7" what the author meant was "when will Surefire be bringing out a light that uses a P7?" :shakehead
