If you the new threadyou were about to begin is identical or pretty similar to something above, please to not add to the growing sea of duplicate posts and questions. This is a feature in the bottom left hand corner of the forum called "Search." You can type in a keyword and locate any thread that has that keyword. If you don't find what you are looking for, or the search returned too many threads to choose from then you can use the Advanced Search just tot he right of it. You can further tailor your search by limiting your search to a particular Forum, to a particular poster, some or all keywords in a subject line or in the body, or even posts that do NOT have certain keywords.

By using this search feature the posts that are truely unique or groundbreaking can stay toward the top and be seen more readily. This will keep the forum a bit more orderly, and make the search for new information easier since the same old topics aren't being repeated 2-3 times a day.

Thank you for your professionalism and cooperation.

"Thrust if you love Fencers!"

Lol at this post....if all of those things are already on here i guess you must figure everybody has a poor memory and needs to make a list of things they shouldn't do. Like you are the expert in these things.ha

If i want to ask a question you feel is not needed or is a repeat or is a stupid question...i am sorry but you ain't going to stop me....just make a point of not reading any posts you see my name on....you probably would be insulted.. someone of your high brow intellect I can understand that. Pleaseno one pay any attention to the "before you begin a new topic" post......Questions are the only way any of use are going to learn anything.....regardless of what this post suggests. So, being stupid like i am, I will ask some more stupid questions and no one can stop me.

And another thing.....i am not browsing through 8,000 posts to get an answer to a simple question. And on top of that the way patches are done, changes made constantly, an answer to a question that was the right answer a week ago, my no longer be the correct answer. Sorry but you and I do not see eye to eye on this. I want the latest answer,most current,to a question i have....not an answer that was posted 4,000 posts ago. That is one of the reasons the latest posts bouy themselves to the top of the list so everything stays current. Now......if you want to start threads with headings such as you suggested that is a good idea...but as long as things are general as they are....a good answer today is not a good answer tommorrow all of the time. My two cents.

Not to mention the "search" feature has a success rating of about 1%. It will give you all kinds of posts EXCEPT what you were searching for.

However, yes original comments were pretty funny to read!

What's wrong with Fencer Rock threads? : |

maybe you could make an FAQ.

First, this was not meant to be taken as a "demand", but merely a suggestion to try and help keep your forum working efficiently. It was also to inform those that were not aware of the Search feature that it existed, where it could be located (it's not at the top like it is most places), and some of the features to make it more productive and finding what they are searching for so they don't have to browse through several pages of posts. When using the Advanced options and a bit of common sense you can usually narrow your focus down pretty well. I've always have pretty good luck in finding what I'm looking for. I suppose your milage may vary.

It is true that information changes periodically. This is the "new" information that I was hoping to help stay at the top. By keeping it at the top it can be easily seen and not spammed off the page within an hour by 20 different threads on the same subject. Still, if this is the preferred method, by all means persue it.

This did not used to be that big of an issue because the Fencer forum used to be such a tight-knit family-style community. We all tried hard to work together without seeking to attack or put each other down. With the sudden influx of temporary Fencers due to holocrons messages this forum has began to change. Not just the same old questions (whose answers haven't changed), but even the feel of the way everyone responds to each other.

I am certainly not trying to insult anyone or imply that anyone has a memory problem. I have enough to do without wasting time flinging insults. I'm content toleave that to those with little else productive to do. I was basing this thread off the concept thatpeople new to a thread usually browse the sticky posts to get some basic information. By listing the above FAQ it let's them know they are not alone in their curiousity, and the information they seek can be found by spending a couple of minutes using the search feature. If they don't find what they seek with the search feature, of course they should feel free to post their question.

What I would like to do is provide links for the above FAQ so all one would have to do is click the link the find the info. But since the information is subject to change, and since posts cannot be edited, it just isn't practical.If posts could be edited, I would be more than willing to look up all the related posts myself and link to them all for you.

I'm really surprized that my attempts to help out have been met so aggressively. If you have a different opinion than mine, that's cool. Can that opinion not be stated professionally and objectively? Must it be formulated as an attack? Those that have been emailing me and asking why my posts are less frequent, this is a good example why I have been limiting my posts to replies to direct questions, or information from the Developers.

"Thrust if you love Fencers!"

There's absoluting nothing wrong with "Fencers Rock" posts. That's was actually a bit of a joke... as you rarely see them. I love trying to harbor a positive attitude. If anyone truely wanted to post a Fencers Rock thread, I'd bump it, ...just for GP!

In light of the responses this thread has received, I take it my suggestion to make use of the tools available to us is not an option.

I'll unsticky the post. If no one responds it will soon float fo the page and you won't have to be bothered with it. I'm sorry that this effort to assist was taken so poorly.

No need to act so wounded.

Instead of posting the Questions only why not compile ANSWERS to those Freguently Asked Questions...maybe you could give it a cute Three-Letter-Acronym like FAQ or something?

Look at the Politician Board. I think the correspondant there had a great idea with a "The Questions" Thread, and a "The Answers" Thread. And of course the info in this FAQ could be updated as need be.

Just a thought.

My compliments to the Dev Raphayl....You will be a very good Dev. You have proven you can take an insult and keep on ticking...Plus....and this is a big plus.....you have an open mind. AMAZING I rushed to judgment and was terribly terribly wrong. Nice to see we have a dev with forsight and some guts. Glad to have you on the fencer side.

I addressed this in my fifth paragraph above. It's something that I would like to do. I'm currently involved in another project that was requested of me. I'm nearing completion, then I can begin on something like that. In fact,those that have actually been around the Fencer community for awhile will recall that I had begun that very thing some time back. I couldn't go very far with it at the time because the information was still changing so rapidly it just wasn't practical. However, it is somethign that I would like to accomplish. If you would like to volunteer some time to help me put that together, I could get it put together faster.

Again, Vylin, why the hostility?Aren't we supposed to be on the same side? Have I wronged you in a past life or something, or is this just the way you prefer to express yourself? I don't harbor any ill will toward you. I'm here to try and help Fencers, to help you. I'm not acting "wounded" as you put it. I simply made a suggestion based on an observation. If it isn't onethat's desiredthen there is not reason to keep it stickied. It's being rational, not emotional. Before you begin your assault on me, perhaps consider that fact that I really might be inmy current office becauseI want things to improve for Fencers. You are a Fencer, right? To me it would sound like we are supposed to be on the same side. Give me the benefit of the doubt that I might have your best interests at heart.

Sarcasm and attacks aren't necessary to get my attention. I try to be very attentive to all the posts, even if I don't post to them. I do my best to represent the needs and desires of this community to the developers, and head off nerfs before they filter to the live servers. To get my attention just state your ideas calmly and professionally like you would at any business meeting where you are trying to submit an idea or concern. We can discuss it if needed to work out the details, and I'll gladly to your ideas to the Devs and see what we can work out.

Regardless how things might work in other forums, I'm on your side guys. Try being on mine, we can get more accomplished.

Oops! Sorry. Nice to see we have a CORRESPONDENT with an open mind and some guts.
