Glowstick Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 What? It was just a plain misunderstanding because of a different thing. I can still fill something in there, that causes loads of asterisks to show up, if you're disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearded Kirklander Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 It took me a while to figure out that each forum area has its own section rules in addition to the main rules. By the way, I really like how you updated the text at the top for guidelines in that section. I like that you have a link to the main site rules and the section specific rules for General Discussion. It says that for Desktop threads you should try to keep things at 1024x768 and hopefully around 100k or less. Is that only under General Discussion and only under threads where you are talking about desktop layouts? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OPaul Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 How do these "x100 congrate" threads fall under; We require members to show a level of maturity while posting or starting topics in order to keep the general discussion moving at a level that can be considered both intelligent, informative and at the same time contributory to the site. For instance this one doesn't seem to follow that line of thought at all; https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=179645&hl= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glowstick Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 No, they're just reflections on the post count of the member at the point of the creation of that useless x000 thread. They don't reflect any contributions. Just to be pedantic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
