    Exclamation How to ask for help

    So, I've been seeing a lot of senseless threads where the threadstarter gives no basic information about the problem, but in return asks for detailed tutorial on how to fix it.
    This is a bad example of a help request:

    yo guys i start now crosfire and it dount woerk, wuut!
    sum1 heelp pls its urgent pls pls pls
    Why is this bad: First of all, the grammar: speak English normally or don't write anything at all. We are here to help you, not to waste time on decoding your sentences. You have to provide us with detailed information about what your problem is, like when did the error start to appear, which methods you've already tried so that people don't spam, what your OS is... Also, if possible, post some screenshots.
    An image speaks a thousand words!

    This is how a help request should look like:

    Hey guys,
    today I started CrossFire, but after the X-Trap update, I got an error about abnormal memory access. The game usually starts normal, but today I tried using the new hack from the CrossFire section and I got this error. I am using Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.
    I've tried updating .NET Framework and DirectX, even truning off my anti-virus but the error keeps appearing. Here is a screenshot of the error:

    Any help would be appreciated!
    Remember this and save yourself the trouble.

    It's inevitable, most people post threads before they read stickies .

    Just hope people read this
    Will make helping people a lot easier
    Do not go gentle into that good night,
    Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
    Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

    Doubt anyone will read this before they post. Threads like this have been made many times, none were very effective.
