Are there any guides to making community thread posts?

[Farmer Jon]

I've been trying to check my thread on the Trevor Space forums alongside some other community posts for a while. It seems theres 2 types of these threads,

1. where you just give a description of the site and some examples of spergery, hoping everyone else does the work to find milk or 2. you go in depth about 1-3 lolcows that frequent the site.

Follow the guide in the Prospering Grounds and discern what is and isn't applicable.

If a community really is a den of fools, it shouldn't be hard to gently outline a few examples.

May I recommend my thread as an example to follow?

Here's a perfect example of what not do when making a thread

Based on the two things you said:

1. where you just give a description of the site and some examples of spergery, hoping everyone else does the work to find milk

A general description is good, but writing it with the expectation that others will do the work to find milk comes off as lazy. If your intial OP is a poor description, then it also looks like a PA request. At least since your topic is a community and not an individual, getting mistaken as a PA request seems less likely.

2. you go in depth about 1-3 lolcows that frequent the site.

I think this is a good idea. Start your thread with a general description of the place like you mentioned in your first point and then have some in-depth sections about notable community cows.

Hope this helps and best of luck on writing your thread.
