Yes, use the search feature and browse the first couple of pages just to make sure it's not been discussed.

Also, make sure you use descriptive thread titles. If you are bringing up a player, list his position and his class.

Always post a link if it's something that you got from another site.

To add to what The Walrus said, the more info the better when it comes to the original post. Measurables, hometown, high school, anything you can put in there to identify who you are talking about.

Or if you are linking a story, highlight a paragraph or two and quote it in the post, and make sure to label your links.

Rule #1

Never ask about the rules for starting a thread.

It seems absolutely ridiculous to expect people to do extensive research before starting a thread. This is not the Library of Congress. It is a sport discussion forum and if you have a question, odds are someone else has the same question.

The simple fact is , if you do not like the thread, don't read it. If no one finds the thread worthy of discussion it will die on it's own. If the thread Nazi's do not put up their tyrannical posts, the thread will die on it's own.
