There seems to be a higher proportion of useless thread titles lately. The "I need help!" or "My program doesn't work" threads that give you zero info up front as to what the thread pertains to. I went looking to see if there was something a new member could easily find containing basic posting guidelines. I didn't see anything related in the Forum Rules, or FAQ, or stickies. I was thinking it might be useful to add a "Forum Etiquette" or "Forum Suggestions" section to the bottom of the Rules post? I can think of 5 items for noobies I'd put on it: 1. Search the forums before starting a new thread. 2. Make your thread titles informative. 3. Post code examples inside editor CODE or AUTOIT tags. 4. Don't "bump" your thread unless it has been dormant for 24 (?) hours. 5. Don't edit a "solved" post and remove the original question as it renders the thread useless as a future reference for those searching the forums.
