This is really a great rule to live your forum life by.
Before you post something, think…
- Will my post help someone else?
- Will my post help me?
- Will my post help YoYoExpert?
Next, I will point out some guidelines to help you do this…
- Don’t ask, “What is the best yoyo”
When you do this, people will state there opinion, therefore, the information won’t help you or YYE members that read it in the future because everyone has opinions.
- Don’t ask, “What is your favorite yoyo”
UNLESS you want to find out exactly that. If you are trying to find a yoyo to buy, asking this won’t help. Is someone else’s favorite throw going to be yours? Probably not.
- When you ask, “What yoyo should I get”, explain what you are looking for in a yoyo
There are tons of yoyo choices out there, so everyone can get exactly what they want. Instead of asking for a good yoyo, ask for a good yoyo in x price range, that has x characteristic and x characteristic (if you understand my lame attempt at algebra).
- Don’t over-hype yoyos sold elsewhere.
I don’t think it is a problem to post a promo video or discuss them, but when you start talking about restock dates and how good the yoyo is, you are taking away from YYE’s business.
- Don’t post outside links to other stores and forums
It is in the rules that you shouldn’t post links to stores that sell the same throws as YYE, but I think it is just polite to not post links to other stores and forums period.
- Post in the right section
How hard is this? You will be making the mods’ jobs a whole lot easier, and without them, this forum would be in anarchy.
- Know how knowledgeable you are
Some people on the forum know a lot about mods, others know a lot about tricks, and so on. When one of them clearly says something multiple times, you can trust that it is correct.
8 ) If you haven’t played with a yoyo, you can’t compare it to another yoyo in terms of performance
- When someone asks for a yoyo recommendation, don’t tell them to get your favorite yoyo without reasoning
One man’s treasure is another man’s trash 
- If someone doesn’t follow these guidelines, gently let them know about them
We can all make this forum a better place. If someone doesn’t follow these rules, the forum rules, or any other rules or guidelines, don’t flame them for it. Just let them know politely that they should be aware. If they blatantly break a forum rule, just hit the “report to moderator” button.
- MAKE THIS FORUM A BETTER PLACE FOR EVERYONE
Even just by asking a question or giving a nice comment on a video, you can help the forum a lot. Just think, you can really help someone you don’t even know!
Sorry the long rant lol (not trying to sound mean)
