I've been getting a lot of PMs recently that make me want to vomit when I read them. So, I'm going to put together a nice PM tips guide.



1) Use subjects that actually define what your PM will be about.

This is usually a big iffy for sending PMs. If you're going to send a complaint PM to someone, the word "hi" wouldn't be a really great subject. Because chances are, the person you're sending to, probably won't even open the PM. Keeping the 'complaint PM' in mind, you wanna use a subject that can immediately attract attention to the recipient. So, a good subject for that would be I do not enjoy what you're doing.... That'd get my attention immediately.

2) Use decent grammar and spelling PLEASE.

No one likes a PM they can't read! Well, atleast I certainly can't. Please use decent grammar. no1 lykz it wen u tlk lyk diz!!111!11. Yeah, you get my point. Also, if you are unaware of how a word is spelled, you can use a similar word, or you atleast spell it with the very best of your ability. No one should be spelling "pencil" like "pinsel".

3) Stay organized!

No one likes a big goop of words all clustered together. Use the enter key at times. Make sure your recipient can read all of your PM without them trying so hard to look for something, or just getting confused to what they're reading. Also, use sub headings if necessary. Meaning, title your paragraph if needed.

4) Only one PM at a time please.

Unless it is an absolute SUDDEN change of events, no one wants to see 50 PMs of the same topic. Say what you need to say in one and one PM only.


Alright, I think that's it for now. Sorry to give you a big English lesson, but I've been getting super annoyed by the PMs I've been receiving lately.

Some fag PMd me about.. I don't even know, but I guess he wanted some sort of help.
Language is a tool for efficient communication. The internet is a tool for fast communication. Do not defy both intents by posting incoherent writing.

I usually don't get stupid PMs, but when I do.. [insert screenshot of a PM that I'm too lazy to screenshot.]

There's a lack of death threats.

Die "Hi" and "Be friends" PMs.
