I've noticed a couple of things that should really be adressed.

Firstly, Creating a thread:


Make sure that the topic of the thread is clearly stated in the title. "I need help" Doesn't really cut it. If you didn't need help, you wouldn't be here, would you?
Ensure that the question hasn't been asked and responded to before. Use the handy dandy search feature.
Certain threads here are General rather than specific. Any dating and sexual questions can be responded to in their respective threads. Perhaps other threads along these lines will be created in the future. If your question is about dating or sex, for example, read through the threads to make sure your question hasn't been responded to before. Then ask within the thread rather than create a whole new one.
Responding to a problem:


If you don't know, don't respond with "Well, I don't know." Just don't respond to the thread if you have no clue. I know you want the Xcash, but come ON people. Easy Xcash wasn't the purpose of this forum.
If you arn't sure, don't guess a response. Seriously, in certain situations, bad advice can create a horriable result. If you arn't sure, but have an idea that COULD work in the situation, STATE THAT YOU DON'T KNOW FOR SURE.
Try to make your responses easy to read and understand. You are trying to help, not make the job harder.
Keep on topic. Follow the general Xgen rules. Kapiche?
Vagrant: Flaming will not be tolerated. People are here for advice, not cruelty.

I think something should be added to this list: Any problems about the forums should go in the Newb's Help Forum.

I know the report button should be used, etc., but there are 4 threads on the first page alone about forum related issues.

It might help to put a reminder in this thread.
