Not necessarily. Many new people don't realize that this forum has as lot going on in it, and a lot of questions have already been asked. Especially people who've never used a forum before, some barely know how to do anything.

If a new person asks a question that has been asked many times before, just tell them their problem and they probably (hopefully) won't do it again. That's just how people are, you can't really blame them for that.

If it's a person who's been here a long time then that's another story.

You mean the one question he asked twice on the very thread he started, where he is holding a conversation with multiple people who are volunteering to help him out, on his own thread? Because he's concerned about giving credit card info/and or money to a site he's never heard of before?

All this, on his one thread he started? That's confined there, and not spreading to all the other threads you're busy helping more - in your eyes - qualified members on? His thread that's in the correct area, on a forum where people are given the impression they can receive help/advice?

Just tryin' to clarify what you mean.

.. You crazy, bud?

Ban someone for not using search? I've already made my thoughts clear on that, and that can be debated over there, but...3 months? What are you thinkin'? May as well be permanent.

This is kinda off topic but: http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14938

Read all of firefox109's posts.

I have a feeling he's doing something wrong but I don't seem to know what...

I'm not certain if he deserves an infraction or not :confused:...

I hope this system doesn't create a whole mess of snitching. I understand reporting people who do something offensive, but saying "This guy did something wrong, but I'm not sure what" and then having a whole mess of people search for those wrongs? If somebody does something that you think should be penalized for something trivial, just point it out to them in that thread, instead of tugging at an administrators shirt.
 
No, I was wondering if he is doing anything wrong, I'm not accusing him of doing any wrong myself. In fact I was more than happy to answer some of his basic questions. I don't think I was "snitching" if that's what you really think.

We make mistakes, but we your opinions on how to moderate aren't something we care about. There is a reason there are moderators and not moderators. If you have an issue about an infraction, just bring it up and it will be reviewed.

BTW, I feel like I should give you an infraction for your retarded avatar.
 
Oh, if we can contest it then I'm cool with that.

You know, I'm just going to be honest. I don't like you, masterofthebass. But because you gave me an infraction for a retarded avatar, I think I like you a little more now.
 
How do you delete your speedsolving account? It seems like it is very easy to get banned now, especially for "not using the search function". It's hard to look if there is a thread about some question you have, mostly because lots of threads are produced from searching, and poor titles make it hard to find said thread. If I made a thread right now, I can guarantee that someone will say that there is already a thread about that topic. If I can get banned because of this, I'm quitting this forum.

So I'm quitting this forum
 
uh... well just because other forum members tell you things, doesn't mean anything will happen to you from the moderators. Don't listen to the people who are the problems themselves. If you really want you account deleted, PM me and I will make that happen.

If you're quitting. You mind as well stay until you get banned. You can "enjoy" this forum until you're forced to quit. It's a win-win situation.
