We figured this was necessary because a lot of people come in and post threads without thinking, and without realizing that there is no possible way they could get help because of the way they posted the question. Here are some general guidelines.

1. Please use SEARCH first!

There is a pretty good chance that unless you have some really odd or unique problem that has been addressed on our forum before, please use the forum’s search feature first to see if there are already some good threads on the subject. It’s easy to search – just click the “Search” button at the top right of the page.

2. Be DESCRIPTIVE and Don’t Use “Stupid” Topic Names

PLEASE post a descriptive topic name a summary of your problem IN THE SUBJECT. (Don’t use attention-getting subjects, they don’t get attention and only annoy people). Just post your problem in a subtle manner.

Here is a good example of a way to post a question-

“Where can I find free stock data for analysis” or “What could be Amazon’s Key Business Moats”

Be patient, help people out by posting good descriptions of what you need help with, and not snapping at people with clutter such as “if you aren’t going to help don’t waste my time replying”.

3. Using private replies

Please note that your private replies marked to other members will still be visible to us and maybe moderated and reviewed by the designated moderators.
