RuneScape 2 Sections..

Posted it in the Feeback section: http://sythe.org/showthread.php?p=3700436#post3700436

I'm not going to give a big introduction, I'm just going to get right to my point; The RuneScape Section's are being taken over with spam, idioticy, and more spam.

I spend a good amount of my time in the RS2 Sections, and I've been noticing a lot of thing's over the past week's.

#1
People always reply to thread's that have already been replied too. I can open 100 threads right now, and see atleast 20 replies, all consisting of the same information. I mean for shit's sake, read the damn thread before you post!



Question Outlined in red; Answer's in white.
As you can see, all the answers consist of the same information, and no useful new information was added.

How we can fix this problem; Enforce a 2 point infraction rule. User's should read the damn thread before posting, and if they don't have anything to add on, NOT post at all! It's a simple thing to follow really, not that damn hard.

Ratings. User's are always replying to threads just stating; " '9/10' '1/10 d3f no0b' '1000000/10 man u gots nice bank!!' " Honestly, what's the point? This Problem was happening in the GFX Section about last year A LOT and with the enforcement of TDD, look what's happened; No more pointless ratings! People should give CnC (Constructive Criticism) on people's account's, not just say '0/10 phail u g0t d3f u nub' Users mainly reply to; a) Get their postcount up, or b) to get their name 'out there'.



^ User's should post information on why he should get a firecape, not because it look's "hot", or how 99 hunter is going to help him, why it's a big goal, what else he can do to help him, not just "WOW NICE GL MATE"

What I suggest to do to improve: Inforce another 2 point infraction rule, just like the GFX forums. You shouldn't be allowed to post "lol nice 9/10", and if you do so, you earn 2 Point Infraction.

Honestly, the suggestions I posted aren't really that hard to follow. They're simple, and not complicated at all. It's common sense for a user not to post if they do not have anothing to contribute to the question/point of the thread.
Users should understand they can do more useful thing's with their posts, other than spamming. If all the 'ratings' on the guide's were replaced with CnC, i'm sure we would be having MANY MANY more useful guides, as people learn from your feedback.

Thanks for your time, and I hope you can understand what I mean in this post :l​

 

I don't agree with this.
Many people don't want to go through pages of replies to see if their thoughts have been posted already, and people like to give their own input regardless if someone else thinks the same thing.

And many people replying to that thread lets the thread creator see more than one reply so he knows he gets the right answer.

 

Well, it does seem like the least modded section. I agree, but its not only the RS2 sections just about every section. Also most of the people are new users, in my opinion, there should be a post requirement, the bad part about this it will lead to spamming in other sections. Best I can say is just deal with it unless bans are given to everyone. I say 2 people need to give the answer, then stop posting.

 

Are you mentally ill? You won't have to go through pages and pages of replies, because there won't be that many. People will be able to give their input, if it has something to add to the thread. What's the point of repeating something that's already been stated? Technically your input has been given, without you actually posting, because someone else has already posted the information you have. (If you don't have anything new to add)

"And many people replying to that thread lets the thread creator see more than one reply so he knows he gets the right answer."
Let's say more than one person replies, and they all keep adding information. The creator will know it's correct information, because more people keep adding to it. The thread creator can also visit a lot of Help websites to verify the information is correct.

^^Give's me another idea. They can post a 'source' of where they got the information if they have one; for ex. "www.zybez.net" etc.

 

sadly i disagree, they can post their opinion but i do agree that something has to be done about posting irrelevant information.
