Best you can do is report every bad post and hope the mods take notice. Make sure you give legitimate reasons when you do.

yea this is really getting annoying..they post thing with like a word diffrent in every post....like they dont kno how to edit thier text when everybody tells them how ...

The most annoying thing is when they post something like this:

Post 1: I got it figured out, how do I do this?

Post 2: Hello? Anyone there?

Post 3: Nevermind, I figured out how to do it.

Ever heard of the 'edit' button?

Yes, but also please feel free to browse my posts.

I post alot OF MODS.
The posts I make also tend to have some substance, although I'll admit to goofing around a little occaisionally.

Plus, I don't give a crap about post counts. It's what you say, not how many times you've said something that counts.

Yes, I AM comparatively new to the hobby, but I went apesh*t too.

Yea, I agree, I don't care how many posts I have, it's whats in them and stuff. Some people want lots of posts, so they make little ones that are one worded. Example:

Lol.

Yes.

How?

etc... stuff like that.

binaryterror · #15 03-31-2003, 12:49 PM

you know, i never have minded helping a newbie in anything i feel strong at. However it tires me to answer the same question more than once.

I just joined a new forum for 1/8th scale HPI Savage21 trucks, before joining i have taken to the fact of reading almost every post that looks good to start. now that i'm joined i'll first search the forum, then post questions...

believe it or not alot of forums are now shutting down the free email accounts due to spamming and immaturity of people with yahoo, msn, hotmail accounts.

How many posts do i have? *edit* appears to be 761...not bad...i have been inactive in anything bit related in a long time. i like the Mini-X and the new Savage a lot more...
