I have 1,000,000 posts!

[TheToad263]

I have 1,000,000 posts and 99% of them are me complaining that other people's posts are either in the wrong place and/or have already been discussed! NO ONE WANTS TO HEAR YOUR COUNTER-PRODUCTIVE BLABBER. Perhaps instead of wasting space and memory on the GTPlanet servers with your post you can say it out loud to yourself as many times as you want...

This is a waste of server space.
Yes let's ban negative comments and keep this place rosey.

I understand what you mean Toad, people do seem to develop in their heads that they are mods. But it's a internet forum you are going to get people like that. However it is for the better at least it keeps the forum full with good topics, discussion and only the occasional thread like this. Though don't expect to be taken seriously with a generic thread title and a rant thread in the wrong location.
EDIT: What are you doing man? You've already posted another rant thread on the abuse of power. You still continue to make threads on topics that don't need discussing, people have explained to you, they don't do it to annoy you. they do it to make this forum better. Please stop!

And that, folks, is a perfect example of a pot calling the kettle black.

I understand the frustration that comes with the repeated "corrections" by GTP members in various threads. "Not the right section", "has been covered before", you name it. And yet, there is a point to that.

People use GTP not only as a discussion forum, but also for getting information on Gran Turismo, currently #5. And because there is so much going on in this forum, the information may be hard to find. To improve this, there is a range of subforums which divide the GT5 main forum into several divisions. Now, when someone looks for a specific information, he obviously looks for it in the section which covers the subject. If the thread that would help him was not opened in that section however, he will have a very hard time finding it. Thus, it is important to put the discussions into the section they belong.

As for duplicate threads, this can get very nasty. I've had a couple of parallel discussions in very similar threads in my time on GTP, and it makes things very complicated and tiring. You basically discuss the same topic twice with different people, so naturally you start to cross-reference and cross-post stuff between the threads. There is very little point to that, and it also is incredibly hard to follow for an outside person. Therefore, duplicate threads often are getting closed quickly.

Now, you have a good point in saying that instead of posting the aforementioned things in the threads, people should just report it to the staff instead. In that, you are absolutely correct.

I find this thread rather ironic.

GTPlanet members largely try to help you get the most out of the site, by looking for your answers yourself and by posting your queries in the places they're most likely to get relevant responses.

If you want to throw that help back in their faces, by making idiotic threads like this, you'll instead attract attention from the moderators. We like to help too. We like to help as many members as we can and occasionally that means removing others from the community.
