I don't know if you're just not familiar with forums, or if you don't speak English well or what's going on, but generally, posting 30 threads with vague titles like "snake question" (on a cornsnake forum) is frustrating to people trying to skim through threads. Maybe instead of posting crap like "Where do you?" you could splurge on the extra couple words next time and try "Where do you feed your snake?" Or hell, if you're long-title-phobic or something, you could give "Feeding snake: Where?" a shot. Just stop posting vague titles.

Im new to all of this and don't mean to offend. Please bear with me as I learn. Not sure why the hostility?
 
Pepper wrote you that? Wow Lexie she's been here all of two weeks maybe don't worry her room to speak doesn't even exist.
 
Ahh, how friendly. :p

Although she does have a point regarding titles. I don't mind people posting questions, but I also prefer that the subject line be more specific. The rest of us won't judge you too harshly....yet....but watch out for Wade. ;)
 
You're fine, really. vague subject titles aren't breaking any rules. Sending offensive PMs to other members is. I was just teasing you, we're not judging you.
Ignore it and hope it all goes away.
 
Just make your titles something obvious so people answer them. I know I usually won't open a thread unless I have a general idea whats going to be in it. And Wade is always just kidding incase he creeps in this thread...harmless, hilarious, and sweet is Wade,lol Ignore pepper btw and keep asking questions if you doubt something:)
 
A: This has nothing at all to do with "Misc Cron Snake Discussions"

B: The only offensive part of that message was the words "crap" and "hell".
 
I don't consider it a problem if the title is not interesting enough to read further-

I just don't read it, lol! And probably lots of other people ignore it, too. The more the title draws you in, the more replies it will probably get.

That also goes for posts that are really difficult to read because of poor spelling, grammar, or punctuation. If I see that the poster is from a non-English speaking country, I will try to wade through it. But if they are from an English speaking country, then I usually don't waste my time with it. There is plenty on this forum to keep me busy without the hassle of deciphering difficult posts or vague titles (although I don't think I have seen the ones referenced yet).

Just a few things to think about when posting.
 
Exactly! Just because something, ANYTHING, is posted doesn't mean it has to be read. (Though I generally do read everything, lol.) You're new and learning and asking a lot of questions, which I, personally, think is fantastic. That's how it should be done! Just remember, as others have stated, a specific title will generally get more responses since people will know exactly what they are about to read. ;}
 
Wow - I can't imagine reading EVERY post! WAY TOO MANY, lol! I just scroll down and click whatever looks interesting, in the amount of time I have to surf (some seasons are busier than others).

I think it is often a kind of trial and error process. After a while, you see which posts get the most response (or the kind of response you want), and then you start posting more often in that manner. Everyone is new at some point, haha! It took me quite a while before I started posting a lot, and really feeling like part of the community. And I even knew several members here before I started posting, but still took a while.

Pepper, you come off a little too strong sometimes...often. I do as well so this isn't a put down at all, but you are as new as the OP and sending someone a nasty message about how their posting habits bug you is rude. This is a public forum where everyone is unique and has their own style- styles clash from time to time, but since you took the time to write her a message you could have taken the time to be polite as well.

A simple hey when you post can you make your titles more distinctive would have been helpful, but blasting a newbie is hurtful. Helpful= nice hurtful=rude- you see?
 
I'm not arguing about this with you guys. I didn't send that to her to start drama, only because I was frustrated with trying to remember what every "x question" thread she made was about. But I think I'll take Kathy's advice and not read vaguely titled threads, it's a waste of time. If you guys want to continue arguing about this and rubbing each other's backs about what an awful person I am and how I have no right to say anything about anything because I just joined this forum, go ahead. But I'd like to remind you guys which one of us is in high school (hint: it's not you).

Whoa! So you're going to blame your lack of respect toward another member on the fact that you're in highschool? Are you serious??

No, dear, I'm reminding you that you are out of high school, and thus the gossip and drama should decrease with age. I never use my age as an excuse for my behavior.

Well, dear, you are the one that started this "drama" by sending such a nasty message to her. This isn't the first time you've gone off on another member in your very short time here.
