Much has been said about internet etiquette (or "netiquette"), but less often discussed is the general art of writing a decent forum post. An internet forum is a unique form of communication with its own set of ways to best present ideas.
This guide offers basic rules on how to present your message in a forum post. Some of these rules are somewhat particular to an internet forum, while others are good rules of thumb for all written communication.
People do not tend to say that a post has problems unless it has so many that it is difficult to read, blatantly incorrect, or offensive. Instead, the normal reaction to a poorly constructed post is to skim or skip over it, generally missing the message you intended to communicate. If you think it is worth making the post, then presumably, you would like people to read and react to it. Minding the rules in this guide will lead to better, more reader-friendly posts, such that your ideas may be better communicated on an internet forum.
