The best advice I can give on answering Ask SC questions is to be straight to the point. Much of what you read in Ask SC rambles. So when I vote Ask SC questions I rank them accordingly.
1. Relevance. Answer the question clearly that is asked.
2. Use numbered bullets when you are giving multiple tips.
3. Use white space. This can be tricky. You don't want to draw out text for the sake of white space but use white space to make the text more appealing to the eye. If answers are just a long blob of text, it will not be read closely.
4. Be confident in your answer. Post like, "I hope this will help . . " usually don't because if you don't know what you are talking about how do you expect someone to learn from you?
5. Brevity or the lack thereof. Answers should be long enough to answer the question. Not to short however; give enough details to solidify the answer and being useful to the ready. Likewise, just a bunch of useless text does not serves the reader at all.
If you follow all of the above, you will certainly get a fair number of votes and be a contributing member to Ask SC.
