| Posting Rant This problem doesn't seem to be getting any better, so I have a rant. Threads In The Wrong Forum PLEASE POST YOUR THREADS IN THE APPROPRIATE FORUM.
General Discussion is for anything motorcyle related (that doesn't fit into another forum). So, don't post motorcycle related threads in Off-Topic.
Scroll down to the "Other" forums. There are several there for specific topics. Don't post something in Off-Topic if there's an "Other" forum for your topic of discussion. Descriptive Thread Titles
Let's all (myself included) try to be more descriptive with our thread titles.  The Bad:
Thread Title: Does anyone...
Thread Body: ...know what size widget fits on a 954?  The Good:
Thread Title: 954 Widget Size
Thread Body: Does anyone know what size widget fits on a 954?
Thanks |

For those that missed it, content was: Quote: |
Yet another case of the man keeping us down. What ever happened to Freedom of Speech? I should be able to go into any forum and post what I want, not be censored by some big-headed internet sheriff. A forum isn't anyone's private space, it is a public group discussion, and therefore shouldn't be controlled!!

By adding a question mark you let people know that is a question looking for info vs a statement providing info.

THEN - you decide to leave in a fit of rage, but just mention you will.

| Re: Posting Rant I've been seeing a lot of this lately too: When you quote a post, and want to remove part of that quote to make it more precise, that's GREAT.
It saves space and makes more sense to narrow down what you are replying to.
Just make sure you don't delete the [quote][/quote] tags, or it just makes a mess.  |
