These people let spammed topics flow through everywhere.
Rename some topics or at least delete things like:
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!PLX FAST
HELP PLZ, I NEED HELP!!
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HELP!!!!! HELP!!!!!!!!! OMG PLEASE HELP ME SOMEONE!!!!!!!!!!
HELP!!! REALLY ULTRA MEGA SUPER URGENT!!!!
OH MY GOD
i need help
Im back with a problem
WHy?
All of these topics are real and I picked them off the first page in the help forum.
Does something seem a little out of whack?
Surely a forum moderator could rename all of these topics so that we won't get the same question asked nine times, surely they could think up a better name.
You have enough time to delete my topics about how people should make better names for their topics, but you moderators don't have enough time to rename a few topics.
Forum moderators are supposed to moderate the forums to make it cleaner and easier to use, and seriously it don't seem like a big deal, but maybe the same question will be spammed less if topics have a decent name.
Better Forum Moderators!

Night_Eagle... the purpose of the forum moderators is to ensure that the forum rules are adheared to. regardless of the names of those topics they all have valid reasons for posting.
There is nothing to say that you have to read the topics if you feel they are not descriptive enough.

oops double post nm...zaroba wrote:somebody deleted your topic about making better named topics?
it looks like its in this forum to me...and right below this topic.
the topic in question i believe was in the help section of the site which was insultive to the people who had been posting questions within the help section.
(btw wasnt me that deleted it for a change
)wasen;t me either. diden't know that thier was one in thier.
alot of those topics don't exactly have an actual topic either. thier more of a description of stuff that leads upto a certain event. an event which could be caused by many different things.
example could be the "HELP PLZ, I NEED HELP!!" topic in the help forum. sure, he could say "my screen is white when i log in" but thats quite missleading, that could be anything and sounds more like a missing texture due to a bad instilation. after reading the topic though it sounds more like he's stuck in the sun. why diden't he name the topic stating that he was stuck in the sun? he doesen't know he is.
thiers also the search thingy thier. people could use that to find if a problem is already asked about

Personally I don't think this is the fault of the forum moderators, more of the fault of the community not naming their posts correctly in the first place. Pick a player and you can pretty much guarantee there's a post started by them that's named incorrectly. What do you want to do, get rid of the community and get a new one that posts better?
Secondly, there's something called a search feature. If you need help, then search the help forum for ur problem, seeing as all of the examples given come from that section. If you're looking in suggestions, most ideas are to the point and can be easily recognised from the first few lines - if your web connection is so slow that it takes so much of your time to load the page and read say, the first few lines, then how do you even have time to play the game?!
Maybe you should stop complaining at the forum moderators and maybe, y'know, get off ur arse and stop being lazy for once and maybe read a few lines or use inbuilt features? If we've managed to cope until now, why does it suddenly need an overhaul?
