+* Mention your terminal (if you use the terminal version), vim version, font used. Also terminal related things such as tmux/screen, $TERM, or similar things should be mentioned
+* Describe your issue properly. If you spend 30 seconds throwing out a sloppy report, do expect that others will spend exactly the same amount on trying to resolve it.
+* Include a [Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example](http://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve) using GitHub Markdown's `codeblock` delimiters.
