No more "Post Your ..." threads


Recommended Posts

Its been fun how certain members have degraded the boards by posting crap "Post Your insert useless item here" but like many times before admins have to step in and stop these sorts of posts because they dont seem to go away on their own.

Many people have complained to me about them and they are openly disliked by the many negative comments they generate.

So, if anyone starts these types of topics or variants the consequences will be harsh because I expect these people to of read this sticky topic or I must assume they are spammers and don't involve themselves in the general topics.

Posting for the hell of it has to stop, please dont insult your fellow neowin member by making idiot posts.

Drat. I was looking forward to the follow-ups "Post your scissors!" and "Post your radiator!" Pity that.

Well, I didn't really have a problem with them other than they didn't lend themselves to a decent discussion and they bumped better legitimate topics off to another page.

WOOHOO.....but what if it doesnt say post your? will you stay on top of post that start to turn out like Post yours?

Posts will moderated according to their content, and not just the thread title.

Eh

Some were interesting and gave some insight to what other Neowinians had such as the mouse one.

While many thought was a stupid subject, i was interested to see what sorta perpherials some of you were using and whether or not they any good etc since i have been thinking of upgrading.

The Windows Folders one was interesting also as gave some insight as to how some people can let their system bloat out etc.

Post the cases, im very interested in seeing others cases and personal mods they done to them.

Also, what comes with the good ones, also there have been some real damn useless and senseless ones.

I do however think that some complaints towards these posts are quite stupid also. Comes down to something real simple, a lesson some need to learn or re-learn.

That lesson is this, if you havent anything good to say, dont say anything at all.

If you dont like a particular subject, then why on earth would you post in that thread? Why not just move along and ignore it instead of making a mountain out of a molehill and feeling the need to whinge like a old lady deprived of sex.

I do believe a crackdown is necessary, but not a total blackout on all subjects.

Anyway, just thoughts.

Cheers all.

The tech related ones should be OK, i.e. April Deskops, Browser Setup, etc.

Things like finding out peripherals and computer hardware stuff should probably be a poll in the poll forum.

Good points. :happy:

To me seeing the thread like that it's ok, but sometimes it gets way out of hand, people start to talk other things instead sticking to the topic and etc.

Staff will continuously monitor all threads that are posted to ensure it's not spam or useless thread.

Are you saying not to post anymore? :blink: This is a forum...thus you "post your...thoughts/replies on what someone has posted...

Maybe I am taking this too literal but, if thats not it...do you mean posts like the Desktop Threads?

i think things like post your coffee cup were stupid, but things like post your overclocks and how u did it, and post your modifications topics are cool

OMFG you kidding, there was a coffee cup one? Sheesh. Thats just stupid. Those are the ones to get rid of definately.

As you said, Browser setups, overclocks for graphics and cpu, case mods etc etc. Techie stuff like how Fotix said. Those ones are interesting and alot of people participate in those ones

Its the techie ones that should be monitored and kept on the boards where as coffee cup ones or similar should be deleted immediately and the poster warned or whatever the deal is with that.

Coffee cup, lolololol, man thats made my day. lol

:ninja:
