   * Before making a new thread, it’s good to [[https://forum.melonland.net/index.php?action=search|search the forum]] to make sure that another thread with the same topic doesn’t already exist. The Melonland Forum doesn’t have a rule against reviving or “necroing” old threads, so it may be considered more acceptable to create a duplicate even if the original thread hasn’t had a new reply in a long time.
   * It’s constructive to avoid repeating what others have already said in any given thread. Try reading or at least skimming the other replies in the thread before writing your own, rather than simply replying to the initial post. This is a more participatory approach that will allow you to involve yourself in the discussion.
+  * If you need to add info you forgot to include in a post or need to provide a small update - you can just edit the original post - you don't need to create a new post every time!
