Now I've been around the block a few times(The block being The Escapist) and I've jotted down a few things I've noticed in threads and decided to put them together and create this magical guide to help you make a successful thread. (Btw we need this)
1. Use proper grammar.
Now no one on this website is going to care about what you say unless it is has proper grammar. Yes I know there is a series on here about having no punctuation but that doesn't mean you can start threads like this "hey gis(guys)hal0 too(2)is da bomb."
2. No Vs Threads.
As a Greek man once said "debating is natural to humans." Now he was right, but that doesn't mean create vs. threads because they always end bad and a good bunch of members get banned.
3. Create a interesting topic
For example something to do with Australia because every Australian based thread goes well.
4. Don't be a jerk face
Seriously when creating a thread, NEVER NEVER NEVER EVER(I just shouted never)create it just to be a jerk face or to piss someone off you will be banned or suspended.
5. Don't act high and mighty
When you create a thread don't try to act like your the biggest superstar on here. I've seen threads where a fellow put the title as "Who is (user's name)" And created the entire thread about himself.
6. Be careful what you put in thread.
Example: if your in a band and you just made a video don't post it up as a thread. That counts as advertising. Advertising is illegal in threads
7. Relate it to music
Specifically metal. A majority of the Escapist(NOT INCLUDING MYSELF) seems to enjoy a variety of metal.
8. Relate it to a Television Show.
Anime is a good example. Cause LOTS of The Escapist Members love anime.
9. When adding a poll don't put a stupid answer for it.
Seriously "waffles?"
10. Be A good sport.
Escapist Legends like NeonBob, Pimppeter2, and Furburt are all good examples. Whenever a debate was about to start these fellas stopped them.
Thank You for your time. Happy Posting
