This post is mainly for newbies, but I guess older members can take the advice too.
Don't just create a topic for creating's sake; create it because you want to learn/know something, or you're passing on information or news.
Most times, I see topics by lower-ranking members about something they don't understand, and there will be answers and solutions to that problem in the comments, but there is no follow-up reply by the OP. It leaves me wondering if the person actually reads the replies to their posts. When you read the replies, you will learn more or have more questions.
This is a discussion forum, and the only way you can learn is by discussing. Just dropping a topic and not reading to see what people are discussing on the topic doesn't make sense. Make use of the Telegram bot or any other ways to keep track of replies to your topics and posts, interact, and not just drop topics and forget about them.
Nice observation. It is very neccessary for anyone who creates a topic to follow up discussions in the thread he created. It does not necessarily mean that he must reply to everyone who reacts to his thread. But if the op is truly fully engaged in the discussion, he would easily see some of the corrections that were made on his thread and some other important reactions that must have been made.
If the op feels that he has gotten what he wanted from that thread, nothing stops him from locking the thread instead of neglecting the thread to probably create another thread and abandon it again.
