How to make a proper thread or post on Nextgenupdate - Guide by TheReaper

First, I would like to start out with....

1. Grammar [/U] is basically the most important thing you can have in your thread or post.This basically shows what skills you have with spelling, and also how smart you are. When making a thread or post you should make a rough draft first so you can gather ideas and also so you can add words as you go along and also so you can change it up a bit.

2. ProofReading - ProofReading is a very vital thing when you are making a thread or a post. Because just like number one says you need to have good grammar so people can understand it. And also people will actually want to read it and enjoy what you have posted. Also, Proofreading allows you to read your post over and it allows you to think if you have you have to change anything is you post like spelling errors or etc...

3 Correct punctuation Correct punctuation is also another key factor while making a post. Because this also resembles how skilled you are while making your posts. Examples of some punctuations - Havent - this is not the correct form, this is - Haven't. Or also here is another Example - Cant - this is not correct - this is - Can't. There are all kinds of different punctuations you can add to your posts. You can have comas, you can have apostrophes ' - you can have all sorts of different things. All of these things you can add to your posts, to make it better and cleaner, and also easier to read so others would like to read your posts more often. And remember to source your info in your post if you have used anything.

4. Correct Capitalization - Correct Capitalization is very key to making great posts to. With capitalization I think you should use it all the time. Because it looks more proper and more organized. Example - How are you? - Correct form. There is also the letter I,i. This letter is also very important to and should be used too in the right way. Example - Jon and I are going to the party.
There are a lot of other examples out there, but most are common sense but they need to be applied.

5. Correct Endings - Correct endings are also very important. When making a regular sentence or one that just shows normal day things, make sure you use the period. When you are stating a question make sure you put a question mark at the end? When you are writing something exciting or fun, make sure to put a exclamation point at the end!

6. Slang Terms/ Texting Words - Most of you probaly have a phone that has texting capabilities here. When making a post please don't include, Examples - lol, ttyl, M2AF, OMG, WTF, GTFO these terms should not be used when you are posting a thread because these are basically only used for texting, but so many people caught on to it, they use it in there daily lives now. These words are basically just used for texting to make it go faster. Whenever making a thread please refrain from using these words.

7. Nextgenupdate Forum Rules - Nextgenupdate forum rules. This is the last number but this is basically the most important rules you can follow here while posting! Some of these rules include - Don't flame other users while posting, Don't double post or even bump old threads. And also please don't swear in any of your threads or posts because that just doesn't make you look good on your part. But the most of all thing I hate is bullying! When someone makes a post and you don't agree/ like it, you don't have to say anything bad to him. That's why you haven't the ability to give negative rep.

There are several people who need to read this. I'm going to send it to a few people now.

A tip on how/when to use I, and when to use me.

My friend and I are going shopping. Here you would say I. You can find out which one to use, by taking away the plural, or the 'my friend' bit. You would say "I am going shopping" not "me is/am going shopping"

And the other person ALWAYS goes first, this is just common courtesy.

Thank you for the extra info Scorcher

Awesome post Reaper, I'm sure quite a few people could benefit from this thread. All I could think about reading the first thing you wrote, about grammar was;

This is a good post, but the reality is the people who type improper grammar and spell everything "lyke dis" aren't going to change. Sadly.

You may as well have named it 'a guide on how to user correct grammar'... it's just simple grammar.

Well, it's nice to know you spend your time in school productively! Getting your head down with work in your free time is obviously your top priority :whistle:
