THese are just some tips that will help you get a better answer rate to your questions.

1) Ask only one question at a time, or as few as possible. Why? Because if someone only knows the answer to one of your questions but not the rest they are more likely to not post an answer.

2) Read the tutorials first

3) Get background info on what you're asking about before you post. Don't just come on and say "how does JED work?". Read the tutorials and then ask questions about what you don't understand. Eg: "What is the key for cleave?" That is no where near as vague as "how does JED work?". That question has so many answers.

4) Read everyone elses posts. I've seen so many times when someone has asked something that was answered in a thread just a couple lines down.

5) Think about where you post. If you want a simple editing question answered, post here. If it's something fairly difficult post at darkjedi.com as well as Massassi.
And if it's a JED suggestion you might as well save time and ask it at the code alliance board instead of here, Alexei Novikov and the team seem to read the messages over there more than this place.

6) Give as much information as possible. "My level is bad" just doesn't help anyone. Tell everyone the EXACT details.

7) Don't piss anyone off. The JK community reacts to any sort of abuse to anyone(even if the person getting badmouthed deserves it or not)
It will only make a nuisance of yourself and waste message board space.


I hope these tips help you get your questions answered.

P.S. I am not complaining at anyone or saying how someone posts on a message board is bad, I'm just saying that I think using these tips ytou'll get your questions answered more often/better.
