snippet1 Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 I fail to see why all threads made with the intent of members posting their own versions - titled 'Post Your' or not, seem to be closed. Given, some are superfluous, but most make for good discussion. Recent Example: https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=139455&hl= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maplecookie Veteran Posted February 16, 2004 Veteran Share Posted February 16, 2004 ech! because we went through a phase where the general forum was just FILLED with "post your" things. It got to the point where stuff like bathrooms, watches, just pointless little things were being posted constantly. I think it would be hard to allow some of the stuff, but not others and it would again, get to the point where people are posting toilet paper rolls and stuff.

KC Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 GOD I remember back before the rule was made. People posted "Post Your" threads left and right every forum was full of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clonk Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 It was the equivelent of an oil spill. They got everywhere, stuck to everything, and no matter how hard you tried to clean it up it just kept coming back. Not to mention all the waterfowls it killed.

+chorpeac MVC Posted February 16, 2004 MVC Share Posted February 16, 2004 cheers bro :D , all we want to do is SHARING and to know each other...that's it :p . We do not force u to post anyway.... :whistle: Yes you are correct, you don't force us to post. However the forum would be flooded with these topics. That's what your blog is for. If you want to flaunt your stuff, post it on a site/blog and direct it somehow. Don't clocg up the forums where more useful information could be held.

.... Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 If we allowed "post your" threads, they would never end. There's no reason to have a thread asking to post everyone's different items. It clogs space and is seemingly worthless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Allen Veteran Posted February 16, 2004 Veteran Share Posted February 16, 2004 Same reason as to why you aren't supposed to start a thread asking for a decision on the board. Read the rules. This is what PM's are for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.... Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Psssst. https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=138724 True, but the original topic of this thread was located in Gen Disc. That is where 'Post Your' topics are prohibited. Specialized forums have limits on what exactly you can "post your". Sorry for the confusion...this primarily was implemented to refrain from people saying crap like: "Post your toilet", "Post Your Mom", "Post your favorite Pen", etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
