WHY ALL THESE THREADS??

[jameslofton29]

Yeah, where is Jarmo?

Merging new threads with old ones because people don't want to look on page two for the old one, so they start a new one asking about the same thing.?


Everything would be so much easier if people just took a few minutes to browse the first three or four pages for the topic subjects to see if their question has already been asked/posted....

Good luck at getting this under control. Its turning into a madhouse. How many threads are needed to say you like Better or TWAT? There are two threads at the top of page 1 for that shit. And that guy creating 20 radio threads. Gimme a break. There was some good threads going, I go to the kitchen to get something to eat, and the first page is filled with new threads. Some of these people act like they've never been to a forum before.

Probably merged or moved because it was about something that had already been discussed!


People need to start reading more instead of just posting.

Suggestion - can't you make it so that members have to post a certain number of times before they can start threads?

Set the number at like 10 and then hopefully after the new members reply a few times, they'll become accustomed to the board and won't be compelled to start threads for topics that already have threads.

[jarmo]

That way we'll get hundreds of: "Yeah", "LOL" and " " posts...

Something I saw earlier, but can't find it to give credit to the one who found this.

This should help with any posting questions you may have:

That's from the "NEW board members READ THIS"
(which seems like no ones reading it  )

[makane]

seems like we have a new winner, gibbo!
why do you lock threads instead of deleting them?

LOL i just saw that, Keep it up Jarmo!!!

Cuz if they delete them then the newbies post the same shit again thinking it got "lost" if they are locked with a reason then they learn

[jameslofton29]

Jarmo, it seems like you got it under control. Nice job. Did you have to ban any newbies? Strange how the Mods were asleep at the wheel though.

[jarmo]

A few lost their posting privileges....

Strange how the Mods were asleep at the wheel though.

Maybe the mods happen to have a life outside the Internet and don't want to spend their weekend pushing the F5 button every 2 minutes and browse through tons of stupid threads. I already spent most of my thursday and friday doing that, so now I'm taking a rest

You dont have to be so rude and fucking defensive. Should have been here the last 2 days with that attitude, and the looney takeover might not have occured. The looneys took over the asylum basically all friday night into saturday afternoon. It was just hard to believe that no mods were doing anything. Strange how some mods are always here basically all the time but when the shit hits the fan they all of a sudden "have a life".

[jarmo]

What the fuck? You think this is our job?

We do this in our free time!

Some days we have more of it, some days less.

If certain new posters didn't have a thing for the Start New Topic button, we'd have a bit more free time.

[DOASHK]

yea i say we keep these threads to a minimum just incase we a pleasantly suprised by something like, ohhh the full version of better or something along those lines. that way we can tell whats goin on

[lul]

just make these dudes mods

I don't really see how what I said is rude and defensive. Did I hit a nerve? Really, you're the kind of person who has the ability to constantly piss me off. You might not have noticed, but I spent a lot of time thursday and friday locking and merging threads, deleting stuff, etc....I was the first mod to notice the situation and do something about it on thursday. But you probably didn't see that either.  And yes, we have other important things to do such as : work, eat, sleep, have a social life. Do you think we get paid for this? No we don't. So don't come fucking tell me what I have to do. When you wake up in the morning and there's 5 pages of new crappy threads, well it doesn't really make you want to go through all of them. Come to think of it, judging from the amount of time you spend here, you would probably be the kind of person who would do that    But I personnally have more interesting things to do. And I don't give a crap whether it suits Mr. James Lofton or not. If you're really tired of seeing new threads, just click on what you're really interested in and then hit the 'Mark as read" button. That's what I do for now and it suits me fine.
Now I realize I've been rude and defensive this time, but you're incredibly good at pushing people's buttons, you know....

How about someone makes a FAQ thread with all the info that we know about the leaks and what has happened over the past couple of days and pins it at the top of the first page? That would probably cut down on the threads asking questions about the leaks that have already been discussed.

But we all knew that this chaos would occur when something actually happened in relation to gnr. We have been waiting for the flood of newbies for years and this is just the start. Wait until the cd is released and see the mess that this board will turn into, there's going to be a need for a lot more mods that's for sure.
