What are some elements of a really bad post?

[m-jean03]

You know, one that barely anyone answers and gets buried really quickly?

(BTW It would NOT be cute or ironic if that happened to this one, and my ego couldn't handle it!)

14. Good God man!

Whatever I've done, I'll un-do. I swear! Please just make it go away!

You know, you're indelibly imprinted on my brain as Little Ricky. You will forever look like him to me. Is that really what you want for your future? What about your children? What about my children? What about everyone's children? Oh the humanity...

3. I get sad when people's threads go unnoticed

so I always try to at least post one response.

4. The subject line reads...

"I've just (insert task or action), ask me anything"

Or, it involves "Yaks!"

:evilgrin:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

5. not if you post a cute pic with the ask me anything post

[Lefta Dissenter]

8. a cute picture...

of a yak, of course!

[m-jean03]

6. I kind of like Yaks

I mean, I really like yaks, I am fascinated by the yak people of tibet and mongolia, the nomads, the D'Olpa? The salt traders, barley people. And Yak butter, now that is something I'd love to try. And yak wool, I think it is REALLY, super duper warm.
Yeah, I like Yaks a lot.:D

7. Boring or nondescript headers

If the title isn't interesting, I don't look.

If it's just a url without a description, I don't look.

13. I find

That when I start a thread, headline it with something that'll attract some attention, then answer responses quickly, it can get a lot of responses. If you post and the leave and don't say anything back, that doesn't help either.

15. study mine

and don't get back to me. I don't want to know.

16. a post needs some "sizzle" to it

to attract attention, etc...

I've had posts die cuz no one noticed them...
