PSA: Thread Quality as of late

[BuudWeizErr]

Seeing how thread quality today is down, with no less than 3 totally worthless spam threads, please follow this PSA:

[creophus]

Ha! Watch this become a spam thread!

[JESTER]

Make this number 4????

Just joking, man. Now my new thread may fall in that category, but hey, whats a guy to do.

[creophus]

I thought that was what the General section was for?

[Jesda]

Actually, even more obscure/bizarre threads end up in "Other"

[gabossie]

Thread quality is way down. All we have in gen now is people bitching about how horrible there life is and new threads about questions brought up in different threads. THERE IS A POST REPLY BUTTON, USE IT!

[vicki]

People are busy feeling sorry for themselves. I had fun in two of the threads last night. wee. Hi bossman

I agree that the quality of the threads seems to have gone down, but there's no need to reply to every post with sarcasm and not answer peoples' questions. I know one of the big reasons I use this forum is because I don't know a lot about cars and I figure I can get friendly help and advice from people here when I need it. I mean even if people ask a simple question, why make a long, harassing post, when it would be simpler and easier to just answer question or correct any of their mistakes? Reminds me of Honda-Tech when people ask simple questions, they suddenly become "newbs" and "ricers" for asking a question.

I ask all my car questions in Infiniti General and Infiniti Online Mechanic, where people who know all the intimate details about my Q45 can give qualified answers.

General Chat is for screwing around or socializing.

Jesda is right. There is nothing wrong with enjoying yourself. Although "Do you eat the bread ends" is kind of a pointlsee topic, it's still quite entertaining. I was getting tired of all those "life sucks, have pity on me and tell me I'm pathetic" threads, but they seem to be going away.

There are definitely too many threads along these lines, though:



Down with spam!!

The board has also been a bit slower. I think that's because the most recent topics aren't sitting on the main page. I kinda miss that. I know it probably cuts down on spam or something, but I keep having to check different sections of the forum to get the latest happenings, technical or otherwise.
