Not trying to control what you post, just where. This site has succeeded for many reasons, and one of the biggest is how organized and monitored and properly maintained it is. Hard to ignore a traffic jam son. Honestly surprised it’s been able to get this bad.
Maybe you need to take a break from this forum if you get so upset easily. I don't see mod listed in your profile.
Nobody is mad. Just a bit frustrated. It’s like when you get a new car and for years it stays in perfect shape and great running condition. Then a new neighbor moves in and keeps bumping it and putting dings in it. Don’t like seeing a quality product slowly go down hill.
Yeah, I think you're a little older than HCP. When you have a niece like mine who claims you're born before electricity then you know you're an old fart.
Nah, just the only one who is speaking up about it. I’m just asking you to post in threads that are already created is all. It’s just being lazy. Take a little pride in our site.....do a little research. A little homework. Could you imagine if EVERYONE of us did this? You aren’t bringing in new heat or takes that haven’t already been posted. We just do things a certain way here.
Frankly Scarlet, I don't give a dam. You're mucking up the forum worse with your constant whining about new posters.
Once again, not whining. Just voicing my expert opinion trying to keep our fantastic forum just that, fantastic. Just trying to help out our newer, younger more inexperienced and naive posters along their S2 journey. Let’s just think a few more tics before your little finders start to type. K? Thanks.
I'd be lying if I said that I hadn't thought several times about merging some of these random thought threads into existing ones. But I'm showing a little grace to the newer arrivals, because these are more in keeping with the style of the previous forum. I assume that people will adjust as they're here longer.
How will the newbies learn if not to lay the law down. Quick and with authority. The previous forum is sitting at the bottom of the Columbia River somewhere for a reason. I pray they adjust. I’ll quit bitching. Maybe I’ll start a random thread everytime THEY do. Ya, I’ll try that.
I have to agree that sticking to the thread topic is a good way to go but I also have to say that occasional straying is no big deal and commenting on the process, such as we're doing now, is always acceptable. A great example of acceptable straying is anything that builds positive relationships. Beginning a new thread with unrelated subject material to an existing thread is always good. I've known cup for years and I've always liked him. For that reason, I can accept a lot more straying than I can from an asshole. If you guys are really having trouble with each other, I urge you to take advantage of the brilliant ignore feature. I've already used this feature on one poster in here and my stomach is much much more relaxed. Try it.
Stop lashing out at the noobs because you're bitter about being a bad prognosticator and evaluator of talent. Now, get back to your truck!
So, which actually clutters up the forum more, all these semi-related threads, or @HCP complaining about the existence of all these semi-related threads? Frankly, for me, it's gotten to the point where the latter is true. When I see a new thread, I can look at the thread title and decide if I want to read it. Not so with @HCP 's complaining. It pops up all over the place. Maybe the solution is to have @HCP create a thread The S2 Rookie's Guide to Posting and confine all his whining to that single thread. Then people can choose to read it, or not. Plus, with a descriptive title, and some recommended guidelines some new posters may actually learn something. BNM
You're thread is exactly a month old. Not really seeing the outrage in starting a new thread that is a similar subject but with updated information. If it was a week or two old it would be an easy merge but a month? That's a pretty high expectation if we want everyone to scroll through a month of posts to see if a thread they are making is similar to another one.
I must have missed that part of the conversation. That's what you get when you juggle too many threads.
