ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

    Tips for getting maximal responses in new threads

    being a moderator here, as well as a member of numerous other boards, and a casual visitor of others, i've noticed many many trends.

    the one trend, that has inspired this thread, is the lack of thought put into thread titles and questions asked in the initial post. perhaps i, and others who add to this thread, can shed some light into getting the desired responses in threads.

    1. have a clear and concise title. all to often, it seems as though people have thread titles such as: "?" or "help" or "can't seem to" or "another question about..." many times members who have knowledge and ideas that may help you overlook these threads, as they are very unspecific, and perhaps judgements are made about the person that would make one of those titles (or similar title).

    2. be clear and concise in your question. you may indeed have a bit of explaining to do, but being short and to the point is generally helpful.

    3. use of proper punctuation. this often kills questions. many times, a person may have an easily answered question... but its buried in a massive runon sentence. use some of the skills that were learned (hopefully) in elementary school to get your point across.

    4. if your thread is going to be a bit long winded, feel free to use paragraphs in order to separate ideas. not only are ideas separated (appropriately i might add) with paragraphs, but it also will allow the reader/other users to easily read what you have written.

    if you have other thoughts on how to get the responses you desire in a thread, feel free to post them here.
