Posting Advice:

I've read hundreds of great threads on DU that get ignored.

They're ignored because they may be too "technical."

They're ignored because people don't understand your viewpoint. Explain it.

They're ignored because the OP doesn't leave room for the opinions of others.

They're ignored because the OP doesn't express himself/herself well. Us a dictionary and thesaurus.

They are ignored because they're trolls. -- Quickly caught.

They are ignored because of timing. -- Ahead of the news curve.

They've been ignored because they're not well stated. Take your time. Think. Say what you mean.

5. I'd add "They're ignored because the subject line is generic or boring."

If that's the case, the post doesn't even get opened.

7. Right on.

If a subject line says "Trump screws goat, " people will click on it.

If a subject line says "Trump lies again," no one will open it.


Yep. Headlines are important. Whether they are or not.
