Rama and me agreed on making a thread for this.
We both think that some of the users on this forum should show a bit nicer behaviour in their activities on this forum. We are a forum with lots of people, and if the average thoughtfullness of those people is getting worse then this forum is doomed to be spammed full.
Examples of the bad activities mainly are about useless threads. First example: (http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5701).
The what is your fastest time post.
The user that posted this thread only has 3 posts on this forum yet. Besides that he doesn't read the rules properly there is not much we can blame him. We were all new once.
The best way to reacting to a post like this would in our opinion be a comment by a moderator or other user like: 'this thread does not add something to this forum, we already have a whole database for this. I see that you are new and I advice you to read the rules on this forum.' and then close the thread.
The thing annoys us the most about this useless thread is the large number of users that still post in this!
Shelley made clear the thread was useless, I did that too after that. I thought: 'ok we made it clear, people will stop posting here and the user that started this thread learned something'. But users just keep adding posts!
Another example of a thread that's already posted several times: http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5153
I think we all know that most people use white as their cross colour now...
Other things that annoy us are threads started in sections they shouldn't be. Things like 'what to learn after beginners method' should be in beginners section not in speedcubing. A post about Virginia open 2008 should be in the competitions section, not in the speedcubing section.
A thread like: http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5496 differences between types of cubes, go to the hardware section!
A thread with the title: ' !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ' or ' hmm' does not show what the thread is about at all, please pick a title so we at least get a hint about what is discussed there!
20 threads about the best/worst/differences of chinese DIY cubes is a bit useless too. Just like 20 threads about which silicon spray to use.
Rama: http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5585 and ' there is also a sticky one for this'
There are some sticky threads on this forum, and they don't exist for nothing, please don't make threads similair to those.
In short. Please people! think a bit more before you post. Mostly it's common sence!
Lets not make a 2nd Twistypuzzles of this nice forum..
