ost_uid0="SSJKarma"]it's just an opinion and i am not OBJECTING to the rule, i too got bored of seeing old topics get revived !
but then again, by putting a rules like that without doing a FAQ, on HOW THE FORUM WORKS, is just plain stupid i think. why ? because people who don't know a #### and start entering this forum for the very first time (EG, me, a year and a half ago) will just do it and you'll ban them for not knowing it !
i think the new rule is justify, don't take me wrong about it !
i just think that making a HOW THIS FORUM WORKS is the primary thing that you guys should do !
ADVANTAGE:
- NEW COMERS will have an ONLINE HELP on what tose pesky buttons works !
- the fonctions will be learn !
example: how many people know that when you put the cursor over the topic and wait a little, it gives you the date it has been made ?
my personnal answer, not many !
why ?
because people don't wait before clicking on link !
the best thing to do is to dedicate a TOPIC that will stick on top of everything.
that topic would describe ALL the fonctions and how they work.
that way it will avoid lots more trouble !
perhaps i will try to make one sometimes.
anyway...
this is not an OBJECTION of the new rule, it is just an appropriate way to say that it is CRAZY if you don't tell people how this forum works first ![/quote]
i do agree ssj the NEW COMERS will not know this
