Friendly Posting Advice

[ProBox1]

I just notice way too many things in the forums lately that bother the hell out of me.

1. Before posting a thread, check the forum to see if the topic has already been covered. There shouldnt be 6 Tszyu vs. Mitchell threads for exapmle, running wild at the same time. I waste too much time merging all of them.

2. Post threads in the proper boards, tired of moving downloads, fantasy and lounge topics from the non-stop boxing board.

3. Dont spam the board with multiple threads, some users are starting 5-6 threads at a time in the same board. While I appreciate that these users are trying to contribute to the board, it does nothing but make the board look bad when half of their posts end up with no replies. Spread topics out throughout the board and give your threads a chance to replies before posting new threads.

4. Make posts with some meaning, there have been some real garbage posts as of late.

5. Stick to the topic, dont come into threads starting problems with someone you have a beef with. If you have a problem with a user, take it up with them in the lounge or by private message. Dont rush into every thread they are involved in to rehash your prior war of words, all you do is make more enemies and make a thread to go ****. Several users have been banned from here due to constantly doing this.

BTW: Some mods will be put in place on these forums, right now I'm figuring out who are the most level headed people for the task.

If they are spread throughout the forum its one thing, when they are made back to back, its pretty obvious that some of them will end up with no responses.

Hopefully people listen to these guidelines. The multiple thread **** sucks...now there are 8 different threads about Hopkins, and its better to just have one bigger discussion rather than a bunch of meaningless ones. More and more people posting simply for the downloads every day...

Sorry, guys, for starting another Hopkins thread. There were a lot of bizarre Hopkins threads last week and I was looking for a straight answer to my question. Still, I'll try to follow the guidelines better.

Thats what I initially thought, but the people who are offenders of the above, are way beyond the downloads level of posts. It's easier to reply to posts then to create new threads to get your post number up. I think it may be case of people trying to rack up points to buy items in the shop or people trying to get points back that others stole from them.

I dont have a problem with multiple Hopkins threads if they deal with different topics having to do with Hopkins. When there are several Hopkins threads dealing with the same subject, then it becomes a problem.
