Forum Rants: Episode 1

[Harm94]

So it has come to my attention that there are some things that need to addressed.

1. Things that are related to games should be posted in games and not offtopic. If you want to discuss your indie game try creativity or games.

2. If you need help with something, either post on a forum dedicated to helping people with that stuff, go to the actual tech support team, see a doctor/mechanic, or just post in a megathread dedicated to whatever you need help with. Please stop spamming these help threads in offtopic. They just pile up and stop using people to google something for you.

3. /support. If you going to enter a debate atleast contribute to an argument. Sure posting /support is the easiest and quickest way to show your support for something, but all you are doing to is contributing nothing. Either vote in a poll to show your support, or take part in an actual discussion.

4. Replying to unwanted bumped topics. This a been problem for a long time, if someone wants to bump a thread let them, if you don't want to see an old thread either lock it yourself or ignore it and don't post in it. Posting in bumped thread to call someone an idiot for bumping it only makes the thread stay bumped. Don't do it, it only makes things worse.

Discuss.

Incoming backfire?

[Nickelob Ultra]

fully behind numbers 1 and 2.  you don't deserve special attention for your stuffty minecraft servers or twitch.tv broadcasts, keep that stuff in games, and we're not google for forgets sake.

[Mounds Bar]

Um... some of those links were just a guy asking where something was though, not a whole new thread.

Ya, take that one out.

[Jairo]

definite support

all of this stuff clutters up an already post-hurricane board

[Anti-Block]

forum games go in community projects. get your stuff straight people

[Pandan]

This isn't a megathread.
He's simply using other topics to help his argument.

I agree completely, mostly because of the "/support" thing.
I hate when people do it, it's just as good as saying nothing. Or not posting at all.

[.::Taboo::.]

a bunch of inane little bullstuff complaints for no reason other than making a thread, only one of which is kind of valid

[Acerblock]

I was supporting until I got to number 3. You're seriously bringing that up again?

[King of the Bill]

Number 3 has already been argued over and no conclusion was reached. It does not need to be brought back.
1 and 2, I sort of agree with.

[Shortcut]

these threads are back?

people must be bored again and gain the need to complain about everything
