shrike Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Hey, I know this would be very difficult, but can I ask that all mods go into super-mod mode during the Olympics? There are already too many threads around these days about the same topic. I just ask that mods will destroy or merge all threads created after the first thread about a said topic. Obviously this can't be enforced, and it would be a very difficult task to do, but I don't want to see Neowin getting over-run with topics about the same thing. Thanks for listening.

Thanks for listening. the MEMBERS need to do a search before posting a new thread. it ain't that hard. if they can't find anything with the search terms they used then they need to go look in the most likely areas to see if something has been posted. the mods are busy enough as it is; they sometimes have to get their own drinks and do their own laundry ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keldyn Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 We can easily have a "official" Olympic Discussion thread. All others created will be deleted or merged. Anyhoo.... back to doing the laundry. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Boog will make an official thread in the sports area :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrike Posted June 30, 2004 Author Share Posted June 30, 2004 yeah... I know the members should actually think, but for some stupid reason they don't. I don't mean for the mods to stop what they're doing, just to delete a few things. I just don't want the server to become clogged because of random useless posts. Also... I'm with the Boog idea.

Joel Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 I just don't want the server to become clogged because of random useless posts. It would become more clogged from us merging and moving than from the threads just sitting there. We'll get to them, don't worry. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangbang023 Veteran Posted June 30, 2004 Veteran Share Posted June 30, 2004 The thing is, sometimes a second thread should be acceptable. If someone is discussing the trampoline event (this is the only time I can use that one) or the basketball, it should be in a separate thread. Things like "did you just see this" , of course, should just be kept to one official thread, but not everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxikk Veteran Posted June 30, 2004 Veteran Share Posted June 30, 2004 Boog will make an official thread in the sports area :p what about me? ps: i do not need to be told how to do my job ;) :happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steffan Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 what about me? if you want to create the thread, then go ahead and create it. The worst that could happen is you getting ban from neowin (which would really suck). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Derf Veteran Posted June 30, 2004 Veteran Share Posted June 30, 2004 We could probably afford a few official Olympics threads to separate the track & field from the gymnastics and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrike Posted July 1, 2004 Author Share Posted July 1, 2004 yeah... I agree about the different topics, but I can see that there will be 50 billion posts updating the medal tally, and stupid random pictures of somebody finishing an event. ANYHOO... That was my request, and I now abandon this topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
