Sad thread

[Mick]

I don't mind commenting on FAQ's but were I to sit down and write one, I'd never finish Too much of a perfectionist with an attention disorder....

I just come to say that you have a really nice constructive ideas, I also like really much some people here s rhetoric and especially their common senses. I stress some ( If you need me to make it clearer, I ll try to draw myself before you )

Brad!,
I would like to say a thing that if Brad and other site managers already intended to add some new features, as Brad said, to the forums, I would be really glad, and happy because new bies like me can learn alot. True !
But please dont do or mean to do something like "you know less, I know more" policy
About any other problems that Brad wanto tell me, it s fine, just send me notes or nice lecture, I ll reading them all, true !!!

Sincerely,

FionaA

I think regulation should be done not for the poster but to those who replies. I think such posts are increasing lately. Most of these threads have few things in common, the poster is a beginner (or beginner+), the question as well as the answer is simple. The poster has few possibly 1-3 (mostly one) posts. Yet the thread grows with debate over a small issue into 2-4 pages, and sometimes the thread spawns another thread to continue with the debate(so that the mods won't complain). Is this sort of 'overkill'? Yes it is. Such threads only confuses the beginners. And these posters(with the reply) with these arguments are not tring to prove the point, they are only trying to prove themselves. Sorry to say, but this is the reality.

Now about biginners post, if it is a frequently asked question or very simple, and if you don't like it,either ignore or politely point out to other helps (cg faq, msdn, google...) rather than repelling the beginners by calling them lazy or accusing them. I think the mods will agree with me (tell me otherwise). John's ex. cannot be compared with this scenario, although I like his suggestion(not practical though). One is learning to ski, other is some doubts about the teqnique. One of the problem with the current system is that you post in some active forums, and because of the current your post may not stay afloat, therby missing someone who may know the answer to the problem.I think the best solution is to create more specific forums.

Talking about hometown(or homestead), one of the first fights she had is with me. Since then I used to ignore her, though I read most of her 'offtopic' posts. She is just a *******, who is best to be ignored, but what if those posts are abusing, insulting with gigantic fonts. I guess that was the latest act that led her to be banned(for the 4th time if I'm correct). The hawk eyed mods were quick enough to delete those before the sharp eyed aio could notice . Anyway personal attacks, at any rate, in public forums shouldn't be tolerated. Personally I feel sorry for hometown, thinking when will she ever learn what everyone has been telling.

[Andreas]: Edited quote...

[Mathew Joy]

Well, you may feel like that in the first quote, but if you were reading her posts and if you are speeking neutrally you won't feel. Just a natural discription. She herself have partially admitted that. Second is in no way an attack...it is just an advice. Make me wonder why did you quote those.

Moreover I was talking about a person (character) who is banned, not someone who is active.
