[META] ANNOUNCEMENT TO POSTERS Please Read

[Stevie D]

Well, the problem is that MH brings in a lot of new members to UF [myself included]. Not everyone wants to look through every post in every thread and not everyone is used to forum rules. These things will happen no matter what just because MH is STILL bringing new people in everyday.

Also, I think some new users don't realize the difference between "New Topic" and "Post Reply".

"Post Reply" will add your comments to the existing thread and should be used even when it is not directly a reply to the previous post.

The "Subject" field will designate the topic for a comment in the thread.

"New Topic" on the other hand creates a new thread.

In the case that you don't want to screen through pages and pages, Stevie, there is always the Search Forums Function which seems to work pretty well.

Also, to newbies who might be feeling put off: don't get too worried about posting. If you're posting in the continuation of the trailhead or the OT threads, we won't bite! I mean, some people might trout you if you bring something up... but it seems that most of those folks aren't around at the moment. XD And anyways, fresh eyes can bring fresh insights, so it's not that we don't want to hear from you!

Actually, when we made a new trailhead, someone posted an index of all... 300+... pages....

Some of the newbies have the most awesome theories. Post moar! but putting it in the right place helps...

@ Stevie, yes, I know that these things will happen, but this thread is an attempt to tell the newbies how this forum is supposed to work. Anyway, as lifegospel says, there is an index of 300 pages should you need to look something up there. And as common courtesy, I'd expect most of us would not trout you if you brought up information from the original trailhead, as that's been retired. In the beginning, the majority of us can and did read through or at least skim the Trailhead, so it shouldn't be much different with the Game Discussion.

But yes, newbies means that we're spreading the word, and that's always good, so don't be discouraged. Actually, my announcement was mostly directed toward the people who repeatedly post stuff in new threads, even after being told several times not to. It gets especially grating when this stuff could easily be put in the main chatter thread. It doesn't hurt to remind people, though, but don't take it too hard either.

I'm no newbie and I rarely come on anymore unless I know a new entry has been posted. besides you guys can handle the newbies just fine

[raelyn]

Yeah, you new guys! I was a new guy scarcely a month ago!

Just jump right into the main chatter thread, after you take the first plunge into the conversation it's easy to keep talking, and sharing and all that cool jazz.


And then your love for MH grows until it consumes your life and your soul...

I just opened a new topic but I felt it was justified, in that, after much searching, and an attempt at opening the discussion in the regular game discussion thread, there is still no singular place to discuss whether the teleportation theory is indeed confirmed. There is discussion of it in both trailhead and entry specific things, but I wanted to discuss it in a broader "everything we've seen so far, not just entry 24" way. If you feel like that was a bad choice on my part, please let me know and I'll remove it.

[Dray]

D'oh, I already tossed up that huge pro/con jabber in the trailhead continuation. >_> It seems kind of redundant to find it and c/v it over to the new thread. Don't know if I can dredge up any new points on my own, either.

Why can't the mods just delete the spam topics/combine them all? Like, every single one at once. How long would it take?
