Too bad we can't have a modification

[Elizabeth]

that tells what a person is getting ready to post: 
"I want to get a beta copy"
When is it going gold"
Where can I find the download button"
And when it sees any of these type sentences, the modification would automatically put all these people in ONE forum so we don't have to keep hunting them down all over the place. They would all be in one location so they could see how many threads they're are asking the same danged question!!!!

Said what?

Where am I?

Where am I?

Damn you and your trolling. You're here.

But we can have a modification that sends every new registrant a private conversation, containing a link to the FAQ. This may help to prevent some of the repeating questions.

Or just be annoying? Also, if you think about it, when you make a new account somewhere, like gmail, and they send you your very first message. What do you do with said message? Do you sit there and read through it and anything it links to? I doubt it, and if you do I doubt everyday users will.

It's working on my forums, although of course a certain % will never bother to read.

One idea I would contemplate if it were my forum (which it isn't) would be to not allow people to start threads until they made a few posts.

 

[Peggy]

Very true, which is why I said I wish!
And yes, I can truly understand the excitement but if they would spend 10 mins reading the Announcements forum before hitting a new thread and posting, they wouldn't be asking.

Liz

You expect them to actually read too???

 

[Floris]

Floris, I understand excited but LORD, use the danged SEARCH button!!! Liz

Yeah, I know But I think that it's something for the XenMods to handle, they can just make 1 good title and continue to merge all the threads created into it. And perhaps even just lock it.

Shame there isn't a mod which finds all the people who signs their post and tells them that there is a signature feature for that :d (no offense is intended by this post, it's just a personal annoyance, and I'm not aiming this comment at any singular person)
