Some users don't want to learn, some other simply ignore advises.
But please follow the following guideline:
To make it short: ALWAYS USE YOUR COMMON SENSE IF POSTING!
If you don't have common sense, don't post.
More specifically:
For new threads:
a) Good, meaningful title:
The title has to say what the problem is about in best way possible.
If that title occured already, it's definitely bad. And contest names aren't good either.
That's in fact a requirement for being able to search old problems.
Examples: Bad titles:
- "Hard"/"Medium"/"Easy" (if you find it so cool how hard/easy it is, tell it in the post and use a title that tells us the problem)
- "Number Theory" (hey guy, guess why this forum's named that way¿ and is it the only such problem on earth¿)
- "Fibonacci" (there are millions of Fibonacci problems out there, all posted and named the same...)
- "Chinese TST 2003" (does this say anything about the problem¿) Good titles:
- "On divisors of a³+2b³+4c³-6abc"
- "Number of solutions to x²+y²=6z²"
- "Fibonacci numbers are never squares"
b) Use search function:
Before posting a "new" problem spend at least two, better five, minutes to look if this problem was posted before. If it was, don't repost it. If you have anything important to say on topic, post it in one of the older threads.
If the thread is locked cause of this, use search function.
Update (by Amir Hossein). The best way to search for two keywords in AoPS is to input
[code]+"first keyword" +"second keyword"[/code]
so that any post containing both strings "first word" and "second form".
c) Good problem statement:
Some recent really bad post was:
[quote][/quote]
It contains no question and no answer.
If you do this, too, you are on the best way to get your thread deleted. Write everything clearly, define where your variables come from (and define the "natural" numbers if used). Additionally read your post at least twice before submitting. After you sent it, read it again and use the Edit-Button if necessary to correct errors.
For answers to already existing threads:
d) Of any interest and with content:
Don't post things that are more trivial than completely obvious. For example, if the question is to solve , do not answer with " is a solution" only. Either you post any kind of proof or at least something unexpected (like " is the smallest solution). Someone that does not see that is a solution of the above without your post is completely wrong here, this is an IMO-level forum.
Similar, posting "I have solved this problem" but not posting anything else is not welcome; it even looks that you just want to show off what a genius you are.
e) Well written and checked answers:
Like c) for new threads, check your solutions at least twice for mistakes. And after sending, read it again and use the Edit-Button if necessary to correct errors.
To repeat it: ALWAYS USE YOUR COMMON SENSE IF POSTING!
Everything definitely out of range of common sense will be locked or deleted (exept for new users having less than about 42 posts, they are newbies and need/get some time to learn).
The above rules will be applied from next monday (5. march of 2007).
Feel free to discuss on this here.

In honor of rrusczyk (and my 50th kudo lol), I'd like to start a Richard Rusczyk Marathon, in which users post:
- a favorite memory of AoPS / what AoPS has helped you achieve
- a problem that AoPS materials has helped you solve. Don't make it TOO hard or the younger users won't be able to get a chance to solve problems
- (if you can solve it), the solution to the problem that the previous user posted.
I'll start: memory
Before AoPS, I was really dumb. And I mean doing singapore math 1B in the summer before 2nd grade. (I wasn't behind in school math because school is much easier than Singapore math 1A).
This dumbness continued for a while, until I was exposed to AoPS Prealgebra in the middle of 4th grade (I had picked up my pace a bit to be 1 grade ahead in Singapore math because my mom yelled at me enough), so I started doing the problems and was instantly intrigued by them. For the first time in my life, I liked math.
Then I sort of sped through the AoPS textbooks, which have no doubt played an integral (word choice intentional) role in my exam scores in school, AMC, AIME (maybe JMO, I only qualified by one point so idk). It has fostered in me a lifelong enjoyment of solving problems, and anyone who has met me would not know that I once struggled in math :D

Although Richard leaving is a sad event, we should still warmly welcome asuth_asuth to AoPS and look forward to working with him in the future to bring AoPS to new frontiers :D
Hello everyone, I would like to ask about the validity of MAA's claim that they would release USA(J)MO results in 2-3 weeks. Is this true or is MAA just yapping.
