I have a question. Fine, you have a question. Why not put the question in the subject line where it will actually be useful.
Help me please! Maybe, but again, why not put some info in the subject, like "help me with pricing this item."
Totally agree with this. When I skim the forums I might mouse over an odd title to work out what's going on: but I'm more likely to not give a damn because the person clearly doesn't want to help us help them.
Perhaps a generic title is excuseable if you're trying to ask a question related to your game and you want to avoid tipping off your players, who also read the forum, but please give us everything you can!
Another pet peeve is when someone asks "what's the best race for a <class>?" And one person will write something useful like: "Dwarves make awesome wizards here's why..." and the rest of the suggestions will be: "half-dragon rakshasa! Shadow-touched jungle elf! beholder-grafted ruby-throated hummingbird!!!!!"

OGC or OGL ... IANAL so don't ask me questions about what is or isn't legal. and don't ask on some general geek messageboard.

I am sickened beyond belief. The half-orc wizard is obviously the best possible PC, and I only had to read 10 pages of the book to figure it out. D&D is dead to me! -- Mike Mearls
FWIW, I'm on the design team and I pretty much find WoW as fun and interesting as banging my head against a brick wall. -- Mike Mearls
you happen to say that 4E reminds you of the reasons you decided against a career as a special-Ed teacher--noted rpg author Darrin Drader
The first time I saw "IANAL" I said "you what?!?!?!?"
i think it means I'm anal. but i never really understand what the heck you kids are talking about more than half the time.

While I don't see this on Enworld much, the WoTC boards had this a lot: WoTC, stop publishing information about [Core class or Core Race] because my campaign does not use them!
Personalizing a setting is fine. Dropping a core race or class (like dwarves or wizards) is fine. Getting angry at a company and choking up their MBs for referencing those core races and classes in products because, y'know, they should know that you don’t use that race or class in your setting/campaign, which is the only one in existence, is not fine.
Sell me on.. Since when has it become the public's job to pimp products for publishers. If you are interested about product X and you want to buy it but don't know enough about it. Go ask the publisher. If you don't want to buy it... don't buy it and leave sleeping dogs lie. If you want to read a review. Go to the review section.

On this board at least, those words should never need spoken. There is more pimping going on here than on K Street in Washington DC.
My Blog --- Warning - this is more than just a gaming blog - it is political and really just everything I feel like posting, but there are gaming-related posts there, too.
I'd like to add any thread or post with the sole purpose of complaining about Dragon and/or Dungeon, how it is useless to one person's game, etc. Constructive criticism is one thing and just saying "X sucks" does nothing for me.
Oh, and on a slightly related note, I think the term "bling" needs to go away now.
