Ever wanted to make a perfect thread but didn't know how to do it? Well this is the guide for you, just follow these simple rules and you'll have a perfect thread, every time.

1. Make sure you are posting to the right forum section. Have a neat suggestion for the game? Put it in general chat. Unsure of something and need help with a quest or event? Put it in general chat. Need technical support or something in the game is glitched? Put it in general chat.

2. Come up with an idea for a thread with a title that is completely original and totally not a rip off of something else. Good examples are asking people to choose between 2 options such as 'cake or pie?' Mac or PC? You know, the most important of life's questions that nobody has ever, ever asked before.

3. If you're going to post an image, don't bother embedding the image directly to the forum, just post the link to the image and let everyone else click on it to see the image in a new tab. It's definitely much more convenient than having the image already there, like so.

4. If you have a poll, make sure the question is clear and unbiased. The possible answers should also completely non-biased and have a diverse range of options. Be sure to include opinions that completely disagree with you, like so

    I appreciate these guidelines very much. As one who is still only a foruming padawan I'll make good use of this information. My main suggestion for this thread is that we move it to the appropriate forum section: General Chat
