In order to make the forum a more comfortable place for all of us, there are some very annoying things that everyone should avoid and some are even regulated by the rules of the forum. The vast majority of users, unfortunately, do not adhere to them, because they do not know the rules or simply do not care about anyone and nothing except themselves and their earnings from bounty/signature campaigns.
So let's see what anyone can do to make the forum a better place :
1. Quoting posts some use literally for each of their posts, and it's completely unnecessary and makes your posts pretty repulsive to most members. Sometimes it's enough to quote only part of the post (just edit it), or to use ~snip~ option (quote -> delete content - > insert ~snip~) so that users you quote knows that the reply is intended for him.
Here is
example of one user who is using excessively quoting in almost all of his posts, doesn't look like anything you want to read, does it?
2. Promoting your links in a way that you post them in every post is not only against the rules, but it will also eventually lead to someone report you, and your account can be banned. Instead, advertise your service/page in the appropriate section of the forum, or in your signature/avatar/personal text.
Here we have a classic
example of a user advertising his site on an inappropriate/against rule way, and why he probably got a temporary ban.
3. Necroposting (bumping old thread/s) is something we should totally avoid, even if we are interested in a similar topic it is advisable to open a new thread, where it will be much easier to have a discussion.
4. In order to combat spam try to open self-moderated threads (you can delete any message in such thread), and lock threads after receiving the answers you need, or lock threads after the discussion is over, and most posters start repeat previous posts.
5. Help moderators/admins to keep this forum better place for all by using "Report to moderator" button - and everything you can report is in the
