1) Do not title it in an inflammatory fashion.
Good: "Question about the recent invasion."
Bad: "The recent invasion is the worst decision ever made in the history of mankind's cultural development."
2) Try to approach the topic of the forum where you post.
Good: "LOTR Online will kill WoW!" posted in Off Topic.
Bad: The same thread, in General.
3) Be aware of ongoing discussions and participate rather than duplicate.
Good: The reply button.
Bad: "Yes, it's ANOTHER thread on the LFG channel!"
4) Don't give reasons for deletion in the thread title.
Good: Not reposting your deleted post.
Bad: "Thanks for deleting my last post, Blizzard."
In the interest of keeping constructive and informative discussion rolling here, folks, let's try to help each other out, can we?

Thanks, Palehoof! I'll add a blue aura to this, since it seems a good number of posters could use a refresher course in how our forums are conducted. Bear in mind my sig as well, everyone. ;)
Edit: As a reminder, posting with "Blue", "Blizz", or any Community Team member or Blizzard employee's handle in the title will generally earn you an instant delete, no matter the value of the post within. "Attention-grabber" titles are not welcome on this board. If your post is deleted for this reason, simply repost it with a different title.[ post edited by Coreiel ]

Q u o t e:
So it is the best avenue to contact Coreiel.
This is incorrect.
To discuss post deletions or account action through the Forums (Forum suspension or banning), email wowreportedpost@blizzard.com. Do not post on the forums about it. Thanks!

Q u o t e:
I'd say things on Tseric's shift I'd never say on Coreiel's.
Oh really.
