How stupid are some boardies??

turgon

If one thing infuriates me on this site is that people fail to grasp the whole concept of a sub-forum. Its that fùcking hard like, IF YOUR THREAD IS ABOUT THAT SUB TOPIC POST IT THERE!!!!!!

You get some beauties coming into Politics and starting threads like "Ireland Local Election" in the EU forum, starting off with "I didn't know where to post this but...." So what like, you post it in the EU POLITICS FORUM????? HOW HARD IS IT TO GRASP???

Another beauty came up today, this conspiracy about how the Obama election is rigged. So this genius of an OP posts it in the .... "Political Theory" sub forum?????? What part of "U.S. POLITICS FORUM" is ambiguous????

So I propose creating a new forum in the Sys category, akin to "Prison", that will be called "Rudimentary Reading for Retards". This is where these high intellects, who apparently cant read the sub forum titles, are thrown to. Here they will have to pass various tests, such as basic kiddies literacy, and simple spelling. A few tests on common acronyms such as U.S. (it means United States SHOCK HORROR!!!!) would be appreciated.

If yee are looking for a mod for it I'm your man. Or yee can skip the whole foreplay procedure and just go ahead and make me SMod, I dont mind either way.

I have never seen you before but I like how you opperate!

Finally, a thread giving out about aspects of boards that I can finally get behind. Fair play.

Dear sir, I heartily endorse this product and/or service and would like to subscribe to your news letter.

Adam

best feedback thread ever. you have just won the internet.

Bob the Builder

*turgon for SMod!*

Not often comes a Feedback thread you can agree with...

Captain Darling

Efficient use of caps lock, quotations, question marks and exclamation marks. It was a stirring read.

I feel slightly invigorated.

Could the prison be like Guantanamo, torture and all?

Please?

Yep, think there was some muppet posting CT stuff on all the Politics boards last night.

tallaght01

Agreed.

Lives will be destroyed if people keep posting in the wrong subforums



I do actually like the cut of your jib, though :P

seamus

Would you like me to move this to Forums now, or were you being intentionally ironic?

Overheal

So a Soccer Access forum for the mentaly challenged?

Don't mods/smods have the right to revoke Thread-starting priviledges?

dr.bollocko

Can we not just change the entire main page so that the Dublin City forum gets 60% screen real estate? Stop the feckers posting the "Where in Dublin" threads in AH finally once and for all.

Terry

Am I the only one not bothered about this?

Just report the post and a mod will most likely move the thread. It only takes a couple of seconds.

Fair enough if it's a thread started by someone who has been here for a while andd knows their way around the site, but not everyone is familiar with every single forum and sub forum.

Not everyone is web savvy either. These people have to be facilitated and not referred to as retards.

Ignorance of the law is not an excuse, but knowledge of the law does not give you the right to call someone a retard.

In short, take it easy on the newbies.

You can show your support for the angry bastard forum.

You get some beauties coming into Politics and starting threads like "Ireland Local Election" in the EU forum, starting off with "I didn't know where to post this but...." So what like, you post it in the EU POLITICS FORUM????? HOW HARD IS IT TO GRASP???

You could always challenge them to a face-off in the thunderdome.

True, it really should have been in conspiracy theories though.

So I propose creating a new forum in the Sys category, akin to "Prison", that will be called "Rudimentary Reading for Retards". This is where these high intellects, who apparently cant read the sub forum titles, are thrown to. Here they will have to pass various tests, such as basic kiddies literacy, and simple spelling.

Yes, sometimes it's hard to know where forum requests should be posted.

If yee are looking for a mod for it I'm your man. Or yee can skip the whole foreplay procedure and just go ahead and make me SMod, I dont mind either way.

Try posting 'amp' as many times as you can in the test forum.

If you've any more questions on where to post stuff, try the Newbies & FAQ forum, some really helpful guys in there.

Have a nice day!

So all that was just to propose a forum? You should have posted in Forums. :cool:

/edit/ Foiled again, damn you SteveC

Genghiz Cohen

I'd be behind OP for SMod only OP posted this in Helpdesk rather than Feedback, unless he was trying to make a point, badly (In which case I wouldn't want him as a SMod anyway).

While I do agree with you, I seen a thread in Fashion and Appearance earlier asking for help with a laptop. How does that happen? It gave me a good chuckle though.

I completely agree.
When I joined there seemed to be a lot of information to take in.
I thought AHs (looking at it only from the drop-down bar) was only for posting in after the pub.:o

I found myself in The Nocturnal Forum , and tried to post in the Lair.
I wasn't very successful , again I had replied to the post above me they had moved onto the next page.

But , I would like to take this opportunity to thank SDooM and random chatbox for explaining to me how to multi quote and keep up.
As a newbie I was very grateful , and it made my continued stay on boards a lot easier.
So , Thanks guys.:)

seanybiker

I dont see a problem with people not knowing where to post a thread and admitting it. I do hate people that whinge about said people.
I presume OP started on a forum and just knew everything there was to know about the internet.
OP change your name to Mr pedantic or even Jeremy Kyle, saying things just to get people to jump on the bandwagon with ya. would that make ya feel better.
Tell ya what, I ride motorbikes, call down to my house and try ride the bike, if ya crash will I just laugh at ya and start a stupud thread about it. Hmmmm no I wont cos Im not a pedantic little ****e like yourself.


OP what ya need to do is
1: Get a few bricks.
2: a little bit of cement.
3:mix the two toghether
4 :Build a bridge for yourself
5: Get over it

I hate people who dont have cop on.
