Forum Posting - Tips and Tricks - Part 1
2. Knowing if everything matches your expectations.
There are many reasons that can help your decision in joining a forum but, personally, I had two main reasons for joining a forum:
- to increase the reputation of my account. After a certain time spent and some amount of replies you will have the privilege to post links within the message.
- I am allowed to post an infinite amount of posts, therefore I can do as much money as I want.
As a bonus, after a while, we could add someone's link in the signature and on the profile which means that we could get something extra. Sometimes, a signature spot of an account with authority was more valuable than 5000 posted messages.
3. A classic mistake of post being deleted is the wrong use of words.
Some Administrators or Moderators will accept only posts that are written grammatically correct and match the thread where you reply. Posts as "Hi there" or "Thanks for this" are welcomed only one time and only on the "Introduction" category. Don't over push this kind of posts because they will be deleted on sight without notice and most of the time, you will get some kind of warning.
Most of the guys that hired me told me that I should focus my posts on certain category and forget about General and Miscellaneous category. Some of them, they were paying different prices by categories. Be aware of the Employer's requests because he is the guy that pays.
By doing so you are showing that you are flexible and you understand the need of good and quality of their forums. It's not a hard thing to do, just need to make a bit of research and documentation. It will be a good sign that you are worth your money and you will get bigger orders in the future.

Adding a valuable comment that adds value is essential otherwise it will be deleted. I can't see any comments like that on my website being useful in any way. I delete all of them immediately. Hi RaduV yes I know what you mean about the "hi there" and "thanks for this discussion" types of posts. This ties in very closely with the discussion that we had recently about commenting on blogs.
