SYMPTOMS
After posting a question to a professional forum or newsgroup and waiting for a while, you get the following answer(s) from the active forum/newsgroup members:
"Your question does not contain all the required information needed for us to help you.
Please re-write your question, this time make sure you have all the needed info and
we'll try to help."
Another symptom of this error is getting the following answer:
"You question has been answered a hundred times. Please use a decent search engine
and/or search our archives before posting any future questions"
CAUSE
In most cases, getting such an answer (also called "Flame") indicates that you have not taken the right steps in formulating your question.
RESOLUTION
Choosing a badly-formatted title will drive people away, thinking that since the title is so badly written, so must be the information and the question within the thread. For example:
"PLEASE HELP, I NEED HELP N O W !!!"
is an example for a really bad selection of a title for your question. People don't like to waste time trying to help people that don't seem to be able to help themselves.
If you don't care enough about your own problem, it will be much harder for us to care enough about it to help you. Don't be surprised if people are less enthusiastic about helping you under such conditions.
- Write in a clear language, avoiding spelling mistakes or grammatical errors. Don't type IN ALL CAPS, which in most cases is read as shouting and considered rude. Try to express yourself in a clear language, and by all means - do try to use punctuation marks in the right place.
