OK....Ok......but who says you need to teach anyone anything?....Like my first post.....So excited about Halo 2, I didn't even bother to read the subheadings for each forum, and like a schmuck, posted Halo 2 stuff in the wrong forum.....only to return to see my horrible mistake exploited....cool.....I guess what's REALLY happening now, is that I'm struggling to type my thoughts at this moment.....but anyway....like I said....why would you need to teach anyone anything?....if someone joins a forum, they should have a basic grasp of rules/conduct/organization to some degree.....You shouldn't need to make examples of people, and (in my opinion, don't think I'm a jerk-off here, I'm just reaching because I'm at work and cannot put my full effort into this post) you guys should be able to set up some type of system to message the schmuck (in this case, me) via e-mail or even an internal forum messaging system to inform them of their mishap, the deletion of their post, and the correct instructions on how to go about things.....(don't think I'm getting preachy here, but being a former mod, I like to see how other places do things, and their reasonings).....My only reason for starting this whole thing was that the first page looked a little....well....sloppy....locked posts, moved posts, yadda yadda....I dunno....This whole thing was just curiousity on my part, so I implore you not to formulate a negative opinion of me like I'm some know-it-all who just shows up and starts criticising your organization, because I'm not....I'm just giving my observation......Thank you for your speedy response, it is much appreciated.....
Oh yeah.....by the way....could you please, in laymen's terms, explain to me how deleting useless posts taxes your system more than just leaving them there?(just thought of it, what about archives for useless crap, you know, search all these subforums for the useless stuff and just round it all up into one useless group)....I may work on a computer all day, but I still know nothing about them....
Also, my apologies, there's been several posts between when I typed this one and the previous, hence, some of the things I said may already look worse than they already do.....AND THANK YOU for the warm welcome...makes me feel all warm and fuzzy, even though there's no confetti or free toaster
