''Below are ideas for upping our game. What do you think? Anything you would add or change?''

Q has told us "You are the news now." With that is mind, here are some suggestions for both upping the quality of our posts and making notables more visible to bakers.
How to Make Your Posts Easy to Find & Read
Time is short in most breads. In others, bakers are not present and anons must jump in to collect notables, often late in the game. The more work you do to make your posts easy to read, the more likely they are to catch someone's attention.
HIGH QUALITY POSTS HAVE:
-
substantive, relevant content (mostly fresh news on topics of interest)
-
high-quality sauce (links, cites, etc. from acceptable sources)
-
a clearly marked date. If the full date is not in the link, PLZ LOOK IT UP (and if the date is older, say why the info matters now)
-
a one-sentence title anyone can understand that is bolded or in red text) so it's easy to find (see CAP)
-
A note indicating posts that are part of a digg (helps bakers understand why obscure-looking stuff is notable)
-
For tweets: a description of the tweet text in the Comments box if it's got a JPEG extension (or if you're not sure of the extension). JPEGS are invisible after the current bread, so wo/text, a JPEG image offers no info. (Ditto for jpeg photos).
-
For articles: ideally, include a title, date, 2-3 paragraphs plus a CAP & a link; try to provide as much as you can.
-
For videos: the link, date, length of video & time marker for highlighted content. To embed, right-click video, copypasta video URL into Embed field in 8-chan (click on "Show posts…" on bottom right of New Reply to reveal).
-
For graphics/pics: at least one sentence describing the graphic(s}. (Contrary to popular opinion, graphics used in diggs do not "speak for themselves.")
-
For anon theories: Make your material easy to follow and use sauce to support claims when possible.
