One thing I actually do not agree with is the do not post to many threads or posts point. I am not saying spam the forum or post irrelevant things, however a forum with slowed down activity like this one need every post it can get.
One question though about searching. As a new member I might want to discuss something which have been discussed before, what is then best, starting a new thread or finding the old thread and resurrecting it?

There was a point in time when we had members who would literally start 20 threads at once about ridiculous things in the forums. It would bump other new threads off of the front page and it became very frustrating. Nothing against anyone starting five or six new threads every day. It was the constant starting of multiple threads like "What's your favorite soda?" day after day that became too much for people to bare. Quote:

You don't have to agree with the guidelines; these are just suggestions on how to behave and an explanation to new members on how certain things are frowned upon that they might not realize were considered bad manners.

I am not disagreeing with the guidelines. I am saying that the way they are put might confuse new member so that they do not participate, that perhaps the guidelines need just a hint more explanation of what are desired or undesired behavior.
Like the Flayed One said the point about new threads where put there to stop people from making 30 threads a day about sodas and other unrelated stuff. I just pointed out that without his clarification I would have hardly dared to make a single topic when I first joined the forum if I had been met by this list. Now this might just be me as I have Aspergers not getting that paragraph, but I can only post from what I know, and for me that would discourage posting, and I do not think that is the point of it.

I don't think this site discourages making a lot of posts or threads; just as long as they're relevant and comprehensible (see the OMCDave posts mentioned in the first few posts in this thread to get an idea of what I mean by irrelevant and incomprehensible). However, this is coming from HDC's Biggest Post Whore, so you might want a second opinion.:D

A second opinion? I second Wickers observation. I've been around since 2003 or 2004 and agree 100% with how she just put it.

The site do not at all discourage new members to post, please do not misunderstand me. I Joined this forum last month or so and I have felt very welcome. I only spoke about that one paragraph in this new guide to how to be liked at Horror.com, that it would be easy to misunderstand.

While I may have despised (name a movie I think is crap) and you may have loved it, I think we can all discuss the merits (or lack thereof) of said film without getting nasty and personal. |
