THE TOPIC: In the forum, many members don't consider this when making a post topic, the topic must be clearly defined, and well_ understood and also must be relevant and of interest to the forum audience.
This is a very good advice and an even better observation, many forum members fail to understand the need for adequately placed topic, the first thing that can attract someone to a their thread.
I have seen lots of thread topic that were very misleading and nothing close to the topic was written on the topic. The topic can give someone an insight on what to expect from the thread. There are disadvantages from making misleading topic and that's you may get put on ignore by most members and loose your reputation.
