Section 1: The Original Post(er):
Every thread has one thing in common. It starts with a single post.
A bad opening post usually dooms the whole thread, even though any thread can devolve with little to no warning.
*Before starting a thread, do a little research. Think your thread through. What details will you need to include? Have there been any recent discussions on the same topic? Use the Search tool, or at least page back a few pages (try to get at least a week back). This isn't to say that you don't have the right to start a new conversation on the topic, but to get you to see previous conversations for facts and/or ideas that you might have missed.
*Start out in a positive tone. Starting out with hostility, ranting or whining pretty much gaurantees that you will end up with an argument, rather than a discussion. Also see: Trolling.
Tacking in argumentative things like implying that anyone who disagrees with your opinion must be a "Troll" or "Flaming" you is also counter-productive.
* Speak Clearly. You don't have to have an English degree or use perfect grammar, spelling and punctuation, but typing in gibberish or sloppy text not only looks bad (to some, since "bad" in this case is opinion) but is more difficult to read and most importantly.....generally causes your post to be taken less seriously.
Wall-Of-Text formatting (lack of line breaks, paragraphs, etc.) will cause your post to be ignored by many.

Your Grand Idea! This is the Suggestions Forum, a crucible by which bad suggestions are politely dismissed, great suggestions are supported and decent suggestions (the most common type) are discussed with intention to improve them. Or at least that's the intent.
* Present the problem or the desire for change. What is your intent? What is it that you want.
Be honest with the flaws in your suggestion. Let's face it, the ideas suggested here often have shortcomings or negative consequences if implented in rough draft form. Hopefully, your idea can be tweaked to be a win-win idea! Gracefully accept (or decline) the solutions that responders provide.
* It's not your baby. Remember that disagreement or criticism of your idea is not criticism of YOU PERSONALLY. It's about the idea, it's not a personal attack.
* Also: Don't be a drive-by poster who dumps an idea off in one post and abandons it. Don't be afraid to sit down and discuss the suggestion with us.

Section 2: The Initial Responders Yes, I'm talking about those who stumble across a fresh Suggestions thread.
* It's someone's baby. No matter how bad an idea is, try to keep your personal disdain out of it and politely point out the irredeemable flaws for which you spurn the idea.
If it's a mediocre idea, try to point out ways that it could be salvaged into something worth implementing.
* Don't get personal.

Section 3: The Discussion. Yeah, everybody. OPs included.
* Try to stay on topic, or at least in the near vicinity of the topic. Also see: Thread Derailment.
* Be polite and professional to each other.
* Remember that there are Moderators present and forum rules that no poster can expect to break without consequence.
* LolCats pictures are funny, but should be used rather sparingly, and only after the thread has already derailed.
* Links to that TV-Tropes site can cause readers to get lost for days. It's the Bermuda Triangle of the Internet. Leave warning.

Special Addendum: (Okay, this is for the Player Help: Questions section)
*When you ask a question and someone answers it, don't delete it. It just means that the next person who has the same question has to ask and wait. If you leave it there, they can just pop in, look and be done.

Near zero end cost, recharge 15secs base (down to 8 ish with 3 SO) and 669 base heal (so 1304 with slotting)

For comparison headsplitter has a similar recharge, 13.5 end cost and 163 base damage (318 with slotting)


Empaths have attacks as their secondary, there is no need to 'heal' the enemies for damage.

I am still looking forward to the hinted at news of the week.

Plus, I don't think I'd ever get ripped, no matter how much I work out - I go to the gym quite often, but I still have no abs - I think my bodytype is just one of those non-muscle ones

Rest puts your character into a high-mag immobilize. Pop about 10 BF's while resting and you'll be able to move around until they expire.

Well, that makes it something that I want to hear.

Please, go back and give Skulls, Hellions, Trolls, Outcasts and Infected new costumes.
So, so generic that it makes my optics fuse and melt...
