I'm just thinking to put some tips here on how to use the war room correctly.

First of all, don't just put Avast! or Avast imho!

The war room is where you give facts to other members via posts to make them the decision. If you just put Avast! or Avast imho! then why not just use the poll? After all the poll is there to reduce these one-word replies.

Please include a poll if you are posting a new thread into the war room. It reduces unnecessary replies like above.

The War Room is a privilege. Many forums don't have one. Don't troll, spam, or rant at others opinions. Instead, you should kindly reply to them of your own.

Don't use the War Room if you already have a product chosen out! It will just bump all the posts that people genuinely need help on down!

Judge the decision wisely. Just because you are a fanboy is not a wise judgement. Look at the things the OP wants to have the products judged on, whether it be Memory Usage, CPU usage, detection, protection, etc.

Make it fair. Don't put Jo Mans Phishing software against Kaspersky Total Security! First of all Jo Man is not an Antivirus. Second of all obviously Kaspersky is going to win since Jo Man doesn't have the real-time protection, on demand scanning, etc. They aren't on the same tier level. Also its best to put paid software in versus with another paid software and the same with free software.

Don't butt in and introduce another software unless the OP included an other option. Of course you can introduce software but remember to vote on the existing software too.

Bad:
Really those options are absolute garbage! Use something like Bitdefender instead!

Good:
I'll choose Kaspersky from your options above. However, Bitdefender may be a better choice than all of them.

These are fair and valid points. ;)

Similar to - When you're looking for the most ideal personal loan, you don't pick the one that offers you the most money, but you look around to find the Pro's/Con's of other services/offers avaialble. And then, find the one that suits you the best, for your situation.

So do a little thinking before posting your replies, and remember to read the OP's post.
