With the popularity of the World of Warcraft forums, it's often difficult to determine how you should structure your thoughts and words for the greatest effect.
Have no fear; Taurguide is here to help you out!
Follow these simple steps and you'll be getting Blue responses in NO TIME!
1.) Always, always, always let the readers and the CMs know you've constructed an intelligent, well-thought-out post with valid points by simply saying so in the title. "Blue read please", "look here blue", or "Blue, a REAL issue here" are always very effective.
2.) Once you have the reader's attention, be sure to include all the information you can. Make your main point, but you must always support it with anecdotal evidence - include every shred of it, no matter how loosely related to the subject it is. If your guild couldn't zone into Naxx for some reason, and Blizzard is to blame, be sure you include that a GM didn't restore the gold you spent on the potions before coming.
3.) Don't worry too much about grammar, spelling and punctuation - if the point is strong, the wall of text and misused 'there's will go unnoticed.
4.) Being rife with trolls and ignorance as these forums are, you must let the readers know who is in control. Let them know that any 4th graders, idiots, homosexuals, morons, fat kids and virgins will NOT be listened to.
Draw the line, your mental powers so far overshadow theirs that you must remind them where they stand in life. Let them know how much they need to mature and learn so maybe they may someday understand what you're trying to post.
5.) If any characters that aren't level 60 post to your thread, ignore them. They obviously either can't play the game properly or are using a cleverly named level one alt as a posting persona. Don't worry though, they never have any valid points or ideas, so you wont be missing much.
Death. Taxes. My Infallibility.
