Good Post/Thread Guide, by Daniel Silk on Mar 24, 2008 14:37:32 GMT 1, Good Post/Thread Guide.
A few people have suggested this, so I felt it would be a good idea to ask everyone to come up with the text. We are after short notes that will help people in posting and starting threads, such as where to post, what to make the thread title, that sort of thing 
The best points made on this thread will then be condensed into one post that will be placed and locked at the top of every main board across all the forums, as a guide for new and current members.
Please make your contributions as short and to the point as possible please Thank you! ;D

2. Naming the Artist and art piece correctly
3. Good GRAMMAR
4. No Repeat Threads - distorts one or both of the threads.
these are some of my suggestions

Good Post/Thread Guide, by killerkellah on Mar 24, 2008 15:21:49 GMT 1, who cares if someone posts something that has been written before?
you cant expect everyone to read every thread before posting just to make sure there are no duplicates.

Good Post/Thread Guide, by wimpy on Mar 24, 2008 15:48:21 GMT 1, There is a very simple way to sum all that up.
Just say...
"Don't be an online attention whore. Walk away from the computer."
It covers capslock, thread after thread started with the same topic within a day's time, spamming, flaming, and so on down the line.

2)Don't ask what something is worth (put it on ebay and find out)

4)Don't mention Dirty Funker or the handles on Trolleys (otherwise its the naughty step for you)
5)Do please nab me a Sale Ends when its released

Good Post/Thread Guide, by seidbereit on Mar 24, 2008 16:12:38 GMT 1, The thread title should give a clear idea of what the thread is about... threads with headings like:
"Can anyone tell me....." / "I've seen the future...." etc. are a little annoying as you often can't find them later (even if the content is something you would like to return to) because the title doesn't give any clues... this thread here is a perfect example of a correctly titled thread.
I personally don't really mind if people's grammar isn't up to scratch so long as posts aren't written in text message language.

so much negativity is based on losing out on a print release

The only established artists I ever see posting on here are BastNY and Josh Keyes, and they rarely self promote themselves.
New artists posting in the "New Artists" section is a good rule.
As is galleries who are members of this forum posting promotion for their latest print release in their proper section as well.
And lastly, no one on these boards should be doing Banksy (or any other street artist) the disrespect of trying to sell "found" pieces of art on this forum... whether they are as small as an Obama paster or as big as a palestine donkey. It's against what we are about!

-some people might need to learn how to agree to disagree with others
-if galleries (or artists) are paying to be featured on this forum, they should be tagged as "Advertisers"....that is, if anyone is paying (I truly don't know if that happens)
