When I started this thread the idea was to help better define what a BR quality post looks like. There is no definitive set guideline. There are suggestions. In the past 11 pages of this thread we have demonstrated this.
 
However I have repeatedly stated than one or two sentence answers hardly ever will get a BR from me. That does not mean another MOD would agree with me.
 
I am looking for this...
 

• Honest full detail help that results in a positive experience for everyone that ends in a solution to the issue.
• I am not a fan pf spamers
• "How to's" that are about our hobby here not a how to plant Tomato's or some silly crap.

• I am not a fan pf spamers

• "Feel good threads" NOT SPAM. A feel good thread is one that helps other community members in a positive manner. 

• I am not a fan pf spamers
• Fully decked out Mod Rigs using EVGA parts with tech tips

 
These are a few examples along with a subliminal one. The idea behind BR's is for folks to help those with a need in regards to overclocking, settings AKA Technical help. It is not designed for those that jump up and down yelling "Look at me look at me". That actually turns us off and depending on the severity makes that member(s) have very little value in the community beyond comic relief.
 
Jokes are always good to have... Friendly banter is cool. But none of those are BR worthy.
 
My hopes with this thread was to give better examples of quality BR posts. It is not designed to give in to pressure of those that "Think" they posted something that "Might" be BR worthy to a MOD and they will PM us all.
 
In reality.... Tooting your own horn is no issue. But it means far more when it comes from the person you helped
 
This is a community. BR's are not a contest. They need to be earned. We feel very strong about wanting to give them out. Heck we would give out 100 a day if there where that many "Solid" BR worthy posts every day. Trust me, we wan to give them out.

I actually only had a problem with that line. I mean, i'm all for EVGA but not everyone is. It's kinda biased isn't it? Like say i was gonna get an MSI mobo with this build (big bang) But went with the EVGA one mostly on a whim honestly. I didn't compare or do any extensive research on it. As for GFX cards again I wasn't going to go EVGA this time but after my very wonderful experience with customer support recently I did. But that wouldn't mean i'm not an EVGA fan, or that I wouldn't still fold for the team, I just wouldn't have EVGA parts.
 
Anyway I'm not trying to argue or nothing just found that biased... They are just guidelines that you (and maybe others) go by and to each his own, also, LONG LIVE EVGA!!!! :)

I hope Afterburner is biased this is EVGA BTW & the forums should represent & reflect EVGA's products, service, it's people, & it's customers!    

So someone with an ASUS P67 for example shouldn't get a BR, while they only got an ASUS because EVGA's wasn't out?
 
No, I would rather people not be biased. I would rather people be fair.

ive seen people with non evga parts in modsrigs get br's as AB has stated just because he wont give someone a BR dosnt me Rj tweaked etc.... wont give it. i know for a fact that if RJ thinks its a clean nice build he'll give it a br no matter the parts inside.

IMO, no one should get A BR if they don't have at lest a EVGA mobo or a EVGA video card in there rig no exceptions!

AB is not saying that he won't give a BR to a rig unless it has EVGA parts.  He is saying that as EVGA owners/members/moderators, we are excited to see nice builds using EVGA products.  AB is a fair and respectable mod.  Give him the benefit of the doubt.

Yeah SBB that's why I have an EVGA card, actually I own 2, and 3 EVGA mobos? Because I don't support EVGA? Come on. It would just be an unfair policy in my opinion, if you don't agree that's fine.
 
@ AB/Tweaked, I think Retired Professor should get one, here:

Thanks Halo, that was a nice post.

Halo_003

Np Tweaked, the SR-2 and Overclock/Cooling section always get overlooked IMO, there is really a lot of useful information in those sections.

Btw SBB, if you think I don't support the forums, check out the Get It Colder thread. Where I have posted since about Page 90(I think) on the older forums, and since page 1 on these forums.

I never said you didn't support the forms I said that people should not get a BR if they post a thread about there rig in Mods Rigs & it does not have at lest a EVGA mobo or a EVGA video card in there rig!
BTW, Halo you do have both a mobo & video card from EVGA so you do respect & support EVGA!

basicallyevolve really saved me from getting ripped off at microcenter and i'm very thankful to him and want his small post recognized. 

I'm in the process of building my new rig and the sales guy that tried to push these overpriced products on me was giving me bad advice that I didn't know wasn't true, so I disregarded his advice and have been getting help from forum members here about good deals and high quality products from evga and corsair. The sales guy even told me not to buy evga products because they are discontinuing support, and I would of never known this wasn't true if basicllyevolve didn't tell me about that fan. Haha i guess this just helped me but it made me go back and check all that employees information, and it was all bull... i'm glad I had an evga forum account from way back, <3 you guys.

Thanks afterburner, this was my first time bringing a BR post here. 
On a side note, I had a talk with the manager at the northern virginia MicroCenter and he formally apologized for the faulty info about EVGA because he himself owns some of their products, and informed me that the employee most likely told me that about EVGA because they were out of stock and he wanted to make a quick sale.  Then he said he will have a talk with him, and ensure that he doesn't misinform any other customers.  Good times. 

So hopefully you should all be seeing more sales from the east coast!  As for me, I really want to try out folding once I can finish my new build, and gotta get up and up on the new tech for a shot at a BR myself.  Take care.
