Unfortunately, good posts are harder to find now than ever on the forum. So what attributes does a quality post have? Well the first attribute is almost always length. A quality post tends to be longer and more developed out than other posts. It will be clear, succinct, and easy to follow. If it involves a recommendation for a certain part, it will not only state why are part is good, but give facts on why it is a better part. An example would be telling someone why Arctic Silver grease is better than the white grease from Radio Shack. A quality post would state

“Arctic Silver uses micronized silver compounds to increase the thermal conductivity of the compound in order to better transfer heat from the CPU to the heatsink. Using Arctic Silver over the white grease will yield a 3-8C drop in temps over the white compound allowing you to have a cooler CPU and potentially more room to overclock with. You can buy Arctic Silver here http://www.overclockers.com and find out how to apply it properly here, http://www.overclockers.com"

A bad post would say

“Arctic Silver is the best thermal compound. I use it on all my computers”

See the difference? Now the person who asked the question knows what he should use, why he should use it, where to get it, and how to apply it. No more posts would be necessary, the person asking the question would not have to waste their time asking seven more questions as pretty much everything he wants to know is in that post. Members here should try to make their posts like the first one. By making quality posts you save time for both parties, save forum resources, and leave a post that others can benefit from. So please, make every post the best you can. Please read over it before posting it, correct the spelling and grammatical errors, and make it as useful as possible. By doing so you will make the forums even better.
