7 Rules for Writing a Good Post Title

[RapTarX]

Do you have any other rules you follow when writing a post title?

You haven't mentioned the most necessary rules shared by theymos IIRC. theymos has asked to write title in normal front (letter). Start with capital letter and keep the rest of the word as normal. Apart from this, I guess using a question in the title should also be avoided.

[AakZaki]

The rules are self-explanatory and can be a good reference. and most importantly, the title and content of the topic to be discussed must be the same so that no discussion is off the main topic. Sometimes there are beginners who make threads that don't match the title written.
But is it so important to think about the title of a thread? I think it's important because the title will give an initial idea of ​​what will be discussed.

Topic calls the attention of the passerby. Or it attracts scanning and skimming users to read and make comments in the thread. What you (OP) has listed are correct. The number 1 and number 3 are some of the major things to do in the forum. If anyone want to make an exploit, the user should develop an habit of learning then the user will know more and do well. The official and unofficial rules are spelled out clearly in the forum. Therefore, this is like an re-enforcement thread.

[Hallroom]

Posting to forums must be quality complete and high quality posts where information exists. If there is no information in the post quality, then the post does not go viral, so any subject should be properly monitored. The rules mentioned here (opi) are considered reasonable by many, but not by anyone. Here everyone has equal rights but not equal in terms of knowledge. Rules must be followed.

Until now there are still quite a lot of beginners who make mistakes in writing the title and contents of the thread so that many people misunderstand. Maybe it was unintentional or on purpose so that many would comment, but this is quite disturbing for readers who know how to write well and in the end it becomes uninteresting so that the thread creator doesn't get what the thread creator wants from the discussion.

I love the fact that you've made illustrations to the original post....
You seee sometimes, I'll end up stumbling on Posts that haven't been properly conscripted, talk more of it's topic sentence.... Sometimes, it might actually be a helpful thread (that already has answers to whatever questions pertaining to the subject in question),....but, the Op could decide coming up with a topic that looks like he's asking the community - how to go about the whole thing - have you stumbled on such? ... its not usually funny to experience that since I could actually get a clear description as to what your post carries, without even reading it yet.

Despite is official or not about this forum we have use good, polite and structure words when posting some thing here, many people break out the rule from using bad words until not structure about words using.  Understood about English is not our mother language but we need to understand little about how to make good post.

I think OP have good ideas remember us how to be good content writing in Bitcointalk forum and always allow the rule when making post here, don't post without any coherence with topic with some user not reading all topic or discussing board before making post. Could better add one list about rule for writing by using polite world and have good structure.

There's this common mistakes people made in writing their thread title, they overemphasize on the topic by bolden the text or capitalizing the entire letters, doing this does not makes any changes about the content of the post if it carries a semantic meaning or not, neither does it attract people to have a look on the thread or make a reply, what we compose as the content matters alot and should carries the meaning that define the best interpretation for the title used.

All the rules are clear enough in this forum although there are still many who break it and think it's trivial. But it would be nice for us to follow all the rules for making the right topic so that people who read also understand what you want to discuss.

The most important thing is not to make a title that invites many readers but the content is different from the title. Because making a title in a discussion thread is an important thing that aims to exchange ideas about a problem or issue. In essence, the information we need to discuss needs to be included in the title so that readers can immediately find out about our topic.

The best title for me here in Bitcointalk is something short and asks a question straightforward or summarizes the whole subject in a short title, this is a discussion forum, and having a title that can give us an idea of what the topic is through the title will have us decide if it's the discussion worth participating and will save us time when looking for a discussion to participate and will also give us an idea if its something that needs additional input or tutorial or asking about solutions about a problem.

[Gallar]

Writing a post title well is important, but I don't think there's a problem if the title uses punctuation or what you mention. the most important thing is that the title and content of the post are all in sync and not in different directions.
correct me if i'm wrong

In formal writing, there are a number of rules in writing the title. For example, and this is one that you missed, there is a rule to capitalize all the first letters of every word except articles and conjunctions, among others. But is this applicable here? Are members here very particular about how titles are structured, or whether they're written properly or not? After all, this isn't some kind of a grammar or writing forum.

What's important for me is that the title succinctly captures the topic that's to be discussed. That's enough I guess.

[speedy963]

Having this kinds of information will help a lot in the future for those who needs reference and instructions regarding how to's in the forum. Personally, I don't have any posting style as long as I can reply even if it's not that accurate as long as it can contribute to the discussion coz what's more important for me is, it should be relevant to the topic not just some random words or flowery words just to make your post longer.

[Patrol69]

If someone knows the content of the post then the title of the post will come to you. But before posting on any topic, you must know about it well and post it. And always make sure that the information you share in the post is truthful and informative. So that others can benefit from your post.

But one more thing is that posting should not be rushed. posting should take time. If you post on time, the content of the post will be well observed in front of you and the quality of the post will be good.

I have seen posts titles that are not related to the content. Some of these writers come up with titles without taking the time to develop content synonymous with the title. When one gets an idea I think the writer should get a title and next develop the content. Sometimes in the course of content development, it might become necessary to rephrase or change the title because the content might have touched a new or added some new concepts. There is a need to evaluate your writings after development because both the title and content can make or mar your efforts.

In a nutshell, your friends were fortunate, but they will fail if they continue to invest in meme coins to increase their wealth. Meme coins are a type of pump and dump coins and are unreliable. The hype that can generate short term demand is the only reason it pumps. It would not work for long, so you cannot keep them because you will lose money. Luck determines the opportunity to make money on meme coins. This is worse than betting because only a small number of individuals make money from this kind of investment.

It may interest you that not everyone that are good in an essay writing or writing a comprehensive words of an event directly to what happened. For me the only thing I think is very much necessary here is we should try as possible as it's to avoid spamming or even involving with copy and paste from other site without any reasonable proof or authenticity.

Hence whenever a fellow is able to write out what is in his mind or her mind such person have conveyed an information. Note that what makes information effective is the ability for the received to decode the content an the information is what makes it effective, otherwise can be seen or likely to be jargon. Jargon is a spoken words or a written information that is not comprehensible by the reader. However is a words associated or being used by some professional groups or departments.

In summary, your title doesn't affect your mind. You may have a very good title and have a poor information inside of it. As a writer always try your best for the words to be comprehensible and meaningful by people, I think that's all.

It actually does, topic titles are as important as the body of the posts but many people take that for granted and that's why some posts don't get the attention they deserve. Except you're a well known quality contributor to the forum that people are naturally attracted to reading your started topics, the way you write the titles of your topic could attract readers or chase them away. There are ways annoying trolls and spammers structure their post title that people naturally avoid those kind or topics therefore if you write in such way you'll be avoided as well.

When your topic is filled with generic meaning it chase away users that don't tend to associate with such threads. And example is when you see a topic like 'Is Bitcoin the future of money'. Immediately you should know that such thread will be filled with people just saying anything to complete post quota and could be classified as a topic that attract spammers. Naturally I won't engage in such thread and many here won't do the same. You should note that we're in a generation where first impression really matters as you can lose your audience within the first 3-10 seconds they interact with your content.

It's not aguable sir, hence all you said are confirmed to be true. But in some cases when a newbies makes such topic it would result in low turned out just as you said of a contributor to the forum.
I myself have also found some post created by contributors which I noticed the body of the subject matter doesn't really convincing despite the topic attracted many users.
In such post you could only found out that there are many viewers or visitors but people doesn't comment since the body of the messages is not comprehendible.

Usually the title is a summary of the overall writing that we write and most people are looking for words that are easy and as attractive as possible to make the title.

Making an interesting title is indeed very important in writing so that readers don't misunderstand the content written and are not misleading, but for people in choosing the right title it will usually be different. Personally I usually choose a title based on what I'm writing and will summarize as briefly as possible to make it look interesting and in accordance with the content written, the most important thing is that the title that is made does not confuse the reader and has the same meaning as the writing.
