Update the rules
i am suggesting harder rules and especially instant bans for retarded idiots who do not know when to use a forum.
a few examples or let me better say proves why this is needed:

and now my favorite ones cuz they simply ignore the purpose of sticked threads <3

all those guys are ignoring the search function in a time where nearly everything can be found through google or a websites search-function.
most of them just registered and created a thread for some question which was either asked a thousand times before or can be easily found through 5min searching.
demolite made an extra thread to tell ppl to use the search function since especially the amxx section was flooded by dumb questions and i made a thread about compiling plugins since many ppl have problems with it.
i know asking is no crime and helping other ppl is one main purpose of forums but pls do not flame me when i complain about ppl who just ignore everything.

I really like the idea with new rules because that heavy spamming is atm really annoying.
22/08/2008 20:04(edited 22/08/2008 20:04)Wow, man ... Do you think they create these threads to make your day worse or something? Maybe they don't use the search function, but they are definitely not trying to hurt anyone, so just ignore them if it's this bad, instead of saying something like "go die"? What the fuck is that? You are the one who should be banned, when you say stuff like that to innocent people who's only looking for help.
And how great is it to get banned right after you registered and made your first posts?
A better suggestion would to make sure that the users understand how to use a forum, from the start, not only by creating stickies ..
When you create a thread around another forum I hang out at, you get to the search function page where there's a text saying something like "It's recommended that you use the search function to find out if your question was asked before. Use the search function below."
Then you can search, or click "New thread" in the corner.
That would be a better solution, this warning system has gotten out of control, IMO.
EDIT: Maybe all of that spam takes up a lot of space, but this forum ain't that active anyway.

ofc i do not thing that they try to make somebodys day worse or hurt anyone. maybe you are even right when you say i should get banned or at least get a warning for insulting but i just get mad by such threads. im nearly answerign every thread or question in the amxx section. the point is that they are really just looking for help... they register and create without wasting their time, maybe one or two minutes of searching which is even faster, a new thread. sometimes the latest thread was a question about lt.rats bhopstats plugin but they created a new thread with the same question again... thats for me some childish attribute and usually kids younger than 13 are not allowed to register to websites/forums.

ok maybe you are right and banning is to ahrd but there as to be some change imo.

thats a nice idea but it sux when you have to do this once a day.
I'll just say, that I agree with idea - if I'll say why - I probedly will get quoted 4 ever (like allways...).
P.S. Don't quote me!!!

Exactly. IGNORE. And make some "popup" or something which says "SEARCH. USE IT" or something like that. Seen it @ other forums. That $m@r7 guy :D at first 2 threads.
Of course both of you are kind of right. The new people who come and just start a new thread without looking around first are very annoying, but telling them to die is a teeny bit too much.
Therefore, I offer an intermediate! Behold, Posting And You.
HAHAHAHHAHA
yes s1gh!
best thing ive ever seen ever!!1!11one!11
IMO admins should delete this kind of spam threads.. In LJ community cuz when I need to search for some thread I need to go back 1653 pages and in search function it shows me too much spam threads..
10/09/2008 00:54Also the rules should be updated with the reminder info too: http://xtreme-jumps.eu/comment.php?comment.news.901

Another crappy work for them..
07/10/2008 15:26(edited 07/10/2008 15:31)There are 2 obvious problems you didn't think about:
1. Such people can barely speak english
2. Such people don't care to read the rules at all.
Therfore I don't think a rules update will help at all, there'll always be retards who don't care to read them and just start thread to get a plugin and then never visit the site again.
My suggestion: Make a txt with a prefab text, and if you see such threads just copy paste the text and add a warning.
P.S: Yeah, the "go die" post should get you warned instead. Please try to stay calm in the future.
MAKE YOUR SEARCH BUTTON BIGGER OR BOLD,
agreeing with what faker said once again, a set text that you can just post every time. it will take 2 second on your part and it will hopefully get the message through there head :)
