If you're doing a request, and want maximum sucess, follow these small guidelines.
1) Make it clear from the topic title what you want; That means in less that 20 letters. Make sure to include all your requests. (IE: "Need Kirby 64 Music").
2) NEVER EVER EVER make it sound like a demand; Words like "want", "must" etc. are very stupid words to use. (IE: "I must have...". See the demand in it?).
3) Emoticons are cute, but don't use them either; Especially not in topic title or description. (IE: "Hi

need sounds ^^:" <-- loses for sure.)
4) SPELL CORRECTLY; For gods sake, anything else hurts the readers eyes. Make proper gramma, take your time typing the request, then people will take their time helping you. Do not use l33t-speak or capslock either. (IE: "u giVe mE mUSI k tHx" <-- WORST EVER.)
5) Be friendly; Even though people are being rude - trust me, it's worth it. Just because one person is being an asshole doesn't mean this whole forum is.
6) For the sake of cleaness, put [SOLVED] instead of topic name to end your topic; This isn't really a "rule", though. But my point is it's a nice idea.
7) Make sure you read the sticked topics before posting; because it happends that your solution lies there.
