How to post in IPC (by IPC Standards)?
IPC has the highest standards.
Dear Members:
If you are posting your article or re-posting an article from another site, please preview it, before posting it. Do you read what you have posted? Make sure it is readable, looks good and comprehendible. Ask yourself: Is what you have posted, good enough to read? Would you go to a site and read your own post?
If your posts are sloppy, you will get a reputation of posting sloppy posts. After a while, no one will read your posts.
Examples
When you re-post an article or news from another site, and when you copy/paste the title, make sure Your title doesn't come out choppy. Make sure it is readable. Copy the article on a text editor (MS Word, IPC, etc.); edit it before you post it. Do not just copy/paste the article from the news, because there will be gaps between your paragraphs, there will be the word "Advertisement" (where ads used to be) in between your paragraphs, and your complete post will be distorted.
Originally this post was a disaster (no disrespect to Chris).
Example of a poor post:
(After edited by IPC Office)
Iranians hurl petrol bombs at Austrian embassy
viewtopic.php?t=771
The original topic, in news index page, said:
"anians hurl petrol bombs at Austrian embassy"
An = Feces
Where the poster meant
"Iranians hurl petrol bombs at Austrian embassy"
Iran = A Country
That's the result of a bad copy/paste job without rechecking.
The original text had large gaps between paragraphs (where photos used to be in the copied news piece). The original text had the word "Advertisement" in between paragraphs (where ads used to be in the copied news piece).
Sometimes your photos do not show (not in this example because there are no photos posted), because some sites write scripts on their photos (HTML), so they cannot be linked to other sites. Sometimes you did not properly link them. In all cases, the best thing to do is to preview your post before posting, also make sure your links work, and read your post after posting.
Example of an acceptable post:
Ahmadinejad is preparing to sanction the west!
viewtopic.php?t=728
Standard
Use this standard: Do you read your own posts? Are they good enough for you to read them? Would you read your posts on Internet? If not, then why would you assume, others will?
Dear Members, please have in mind that we have the highest standards in IPC. If you are going to post in IPC, then do it properly and make it readable and appetizing to read. Otherwise, you are only wasting memory space and no one will read your posts.
