Is this constantly happening? Can you give some examples please?pricilla said:I'm getting a bit sick of posters constantly wanging on about duplicating posts.
Via the ?How is a person supposed to check EVERY SINGLE THREAD ever posted to see if they are offending anyone?
What rant?And actually, posting the same rant about duplicating posts, is in fact duplication in itself.
Where is this happening?Innocent posters shouldn't be given out to, it's an open LIVE forum or am I just a silly newbie?
Can you link to a few examples if possible so that we can see what you are referring to.pricilla said:I've seen it quite a few times recently, somebody new posts a question.
Then someone replys with "stop duplicating posts"
Yes - but obvious duplication of posts/threads and creating new threads for posts that relate to existing discussions are avoided where possible as otherwise things become unmanageable.Everyone's situation is different, and I think people have a right to post their problem if they want advice, even if something similar has been posted in the past.
The search facility is very handy for this sort of thing.Often times people are new and inexperienced and are looking for advice quickly and don't have time to trawl through every thread.
What precisely is harsh - I'm still confused.I think it is harsh and I just wanted to make the point that we're not all perfect.
Again I'm not clear on what you're referring to.I'm not getting into an argument with you, but I don't think it's nice to keep correcting people.
Not at all.I have my view and you have yours. Lets not fall out over it
I don't want to sound pedantic here but AAM is run and moderated for free. The high standards here are kept high by the moderators giving up their time every day (for free). Most of us would not have the temperament or ability to do their job. I am just pointing these things out because there seems to be an opinion abroad that we all have a god given right to post on AAM. We don't. While Brendan etc give of their time (and I am sure money) to provide a public service we will have access to this site. When they decide to jack it in we will not.and I think people have a right to post their problem if they want advice
Once again - can you provide us with even one example of the sort of thing that you're referring to because I am at a loss to understand what it is. If there is a real issue here then we need to know about it.pricilla said:But I do love reading the threads, and I still think it's a bit mean when someone has an honest problem and they get told to stop duplicating posts, when everyones questions and answers are slightly different.
