It seems to me that there is a lot of people complaining about post quality and content on here lately. Well, heres my idea on what needs to be done.
If your smart, you'll listen to me. I'm never wrong. Serioulsy..
This has happend to me only a couple times, but I've seen it happen to countless threads. Someone starts one, and within 4 or 5 posts, a mod steps
in and says "please use existing links". Now if its a current post, then no problem. But when its being reffered to a thread that hasnt had a post
made on it in months, then whats the problem? Instead of making us dig into an old post, why not let the new one carry on? New people join here
everyday. They dont know anyone here, and want to make a name for themselves.
If a thread has been "discussed to death", then dont reply. Read another, or create your own. Instead of making us dig it up on here, why not delete
old threads after a certain amount of inactivity. The more pages the post, the longer the "inactivity" time would be allowed for.
You mods and administrators are missing a big point here. Part of the fun of this site (IMO) is the point system. Everyone wants them. It increases
the amount of posts you get. You are truely missing out on some quality posts because of mods telling people to "look it up on here" or "its been
done to death".
Well, guess what? SO WHAT ???? Its been done to death, to YOU!! Not to the guy that has only been here for a month or so. If its so boring, then MOVE
ON !! It seems arrogant to me. If you let a new guy post more, youll get better quality out of him. If keep crushing them, you'll make them go away,
or make them SARCASTIC !!!
Plus...the search feature here really leaves alot to be desired. 3 keywords and BLAH....its just a little to sloppy for my liking. Anyrate..my
point...
You guys should just clean up the old, non-active posts here if space is a concern. You shouldnt crush new posts so fast. Like I said, if its
currently being discussed, no problem. But I think letting people make their own posts will only add to this forum. A constant influx of ideas is
good. You never know what one has to offer. Dont be in such a hurry to slam the door.
**side note** I had two threads I openly posted and u2u'd a mod about deleting. It took almost a week to get rid of them.
**side note x 2** I'm not rippin on anyone here. I understand mods got a job to do. This is just my opinion..
