Asking questions is easy. Asking good questions is a bit harder. Be prepared! Collect and provide all the info you can. By doing that other users don't have to ask for more information and you can have a good answer faster.

Did you server crash and gave a crashdump? Put it on pastebin and provide a link in your post. If you have many plugins help everyone by trying to find the cause. Remove all plugins and add them back one by one until you are able to reproduce the crash. Can you reproduce the crash? Provide the steps to do it, it will make it easier for the developer to find the problem.
Did the server crash because a plugin? Report it to the plugin author!

- use pastebin for crash logs, code or any large blobs of text
- readthedocs
- say "it doesn't work", explain yourself!
- make a long title for your topic

Code blocks can be used to show formatted text. Limited to display 30 lines and scrollable when more. Good for short blobs of text but use pastebin for more (it can be openend in another window/tab so people can read it side by side).
[code]your formatted text[/code]
Spoilers can be used to hide anything. You can even hide your code block in it to make your post smaller and make people focus more on the problems instead of a big wall of text.
[spoiler][code]my hidden code block[/code][/spoiler]
Say Hi, ask your question (yes just ask!) and stay longer then 1 minute so people have time to give an answer.
