Would you prefer that they just didnt reply, and no one replyed to the 15th and above posts about the same subject? Every one on this forum that has explained this has explained it to death.

what do you want? for every one to explain the exact same thing every four new threads? if you dont like the iritation, pls people, start using the God **** search button. It's not just for decoration. and if you dont know how, just go into any section, it doesnt take all that much looking to find a post on this. In fact they are really hard to miss. most have that nice Lock symbol on them. and they are ever 4 to 6 threads. Just look a little.






Edit:
I now restate my request to get a poll going on whether we can just ban any one to lazy to open a thread that says "when will the server be back up" or Cant get past loading object". I really think it would cut down on the posts if you added. DO NOT ASK ABOUT SERVER STATUS, OR YOU WILL BE BANNED

I really think this will be far more efective. LOL
Eh, that's pretty close to how this forum operated almost two years ago or so, and they've kinda changed their mantra. They're seeming to want to skate the line between being direct and being nice, as to not insult people. It's a happy medium, but it's hard to maintain.

I'd be in support of such a policy, but some would argue that those people just don't know how to use the forum correctly, and that's not exactly their fault.

I'd argue that anyone who doesn't know how to use the damn forum shouldn't be here anyway.
