Another point is when making a new thread, avoid using capital letters as the topic title, it makes the thread look like a spam thread, even if the content may prove otherwise.

Your thread is more like an outline to follow when making threads and it's a good topic really, outlines serves as blueprints and help to make threads tidy and in the proper order.
It can also help to present to others that the OP put in some effort and that can earn one merits.

Thank you, people should read this because we know it's a very important topic that will help us to be a quality poster.

Another important point is choosing a title that's simple i.e short and straight to the point e.g [Help] How do i verify a signature message. Instead of using long and unnecessary titles. Your title should be able to give your potential viewers an idea what your thread is all about then you can explain further via the body of the thread (while still staying on topic) what the thread is all about. e.g (using my sign message title) which wallet service providers you intend using and the reason you want to verify the signature message. Doing so will help responders give you a straight forward reply and maybe prevent you from falling victim to scams. The title of a thread plays a vital role on how others sees your thread so until you get them right you might lose some potential readers which might cost you in regards to getting a perfect answer, merits or benefiting from their knowledge on the subject in discussion.

There is a guide written by theymos: Topic title style guide. Someone who don't know how to make a good title, please read it to avoid terrible topic titles. The key point theymos pointed out is

condense your topic's main idea into a few sentences.

Moreover, the topic has a small wrong usage of capitalization. It should be: [GUIDE] Making quality thread + grammar check

Use normal capitalization, not "newspaper capitalization". "Thread title style guide" instead of "Thread Title Style Guide". Capitalize the first letter of the title unless it a trademark like "eMachines".

Lastly, words should be used relevantly to avoid misunderstanding between questions (for help), guide, and remember to use question marke if you ask something.

Good point. Just to add to this. Based on the topic title a reader must know what to expect to find in the thread before clicking on the link.
Especially in the Bitcoin subforums you can sometimes see confusing titles like 'Best Bitcoin wallet'. As a reader I am now asking myself is this user suggesting which wallets to use or is he asking the community what they think is the best wallet!
A title like 'Best Bitcoin wallet' can be interpreted in several ways and if the OP is actually looking for help and wants the community's advice about which wallet to use he might not get it as some users might look at the title and figure this is another user giving advice which wallet to use - I don't need that.

I get what your point is. There are some threads in a specific board that allows clickbait in their section to caught attention and gain viewers. People are very confused if the poster needs assistance or specifically a guide for something. That's why we need something like this to help other members of the forum if it's the right topic to view. Sometimes, It's a little bit wasting time especially when the topic is already an existing topic, for short a revision of the last topic. I literally hate clickbait when it comes to knowledgeable sites and people should be aware of having a good title because it is where the discussion depends.

just gonna bump it.

I want to share this helpful thread to others. 
I hope you guys read this thread because it will help you to learn on creating threads.

The formatting in the opening post is dreadful, and I didn't read the post as a result of it. Please remember that this is a discussion forum. If you want to create web pages, then please get yourself a website, and remember that an individual post is not a web page. It must be even worse for people trying to read threads on mobile phones.

I haven't used grammarly but I imagine it suggests alternative vocabulary for you to use and also suggests improvements in grammar and spellings. If it has UK English then the spelling improvements might be good.

Sometimes, something that makes sense gramatically does not really make sense in this language anymore as lanaguage evolves.
Using more interesting vocabulary is the issue with teaching English in schools and universities at the moment. It's a bit like art where they prefer you to use a certain style for something rather than making an original piece and it makes people cogs in a machine rather than being their own free speakers...


This might also make the size of OPs inflate quite a bit if we get a lot of guides like this if people are aiming to write to fit all of the titles you.

I'm not trying to make a webpage, this method is just an optional thing to make it easier for a reader to find their interests.
As an avid reader, we find this helpful when scanning the subjects or categories in the unread posts and will easily fasten up the browsing. Therefore, it will save more time to browse the other threads that we wanted to read, and I know it's not required to read all the posts, so it means that it's an effective tool to attract a viewer.

We can easily convey what's my topic is all about. It's not a proposal or being implemented in the forum but a helpful method to avoid shitty titles.

Jet cash is talking about those images you insert in your subheaders. It really looks like static webpages from the 90s (hello geocities)
I agree with him. I didn't read your post either , as I knew already what you are talking about and the format is really annoying to read

But the content in your post is somehow relevant. When I started using this forum I was very insecure about my English skills, and I used this grammarly add-on. I didn't like it, and I prefer https://prowritingaid.com/en/Account/Register2?returnUrl=%2Fen%2FAnalysis%2FWebEditor%2FGo%3FredirectToDocs%3Dtrue


I don't use any add-on anymore to check my grammar. I improved a lot my writing skills. I know I make a lot of mistakes, but this is just a forum...

Made a lot of mistakes but it's also the reason that you will learn from your mistakes and will improved yourself. Anyway, in my opinion, it's not just a forum but it can also be considered as home or a place where great minds have gathered and exchanged information.

Your edits seem to have backfired, using images to make your post useful lost it a lot of meanings and may make it inappropriate for reading, especially when browsing from the phone.
