Forum Paradox

If the only relevant topic is several months old, you can post a new topic. No one is going to yell at you because "This exact topic was made 5 months ago!"

 

Oh my god use the search button. This thread was posted half a year a go. Geez. JK, I've been thinking about that too lately. I just post a thread if it was a few months old.

 

Well it is for obvious reasons. Why have to identical threads? Its just going to inflate some users post count who choose to post on both simultaneously. Its an un-needed duplicate, so we just get rid of it. It may feel like people are trying to be-little you, but they are mostly correct. Before making a thread, I usually just search the general topic I'm going to talk about. If there is an active thread still, then I discuss what I wanted to in that thread. If not, then I make the thread. Simple as that.

 

It's like the Sandbox discussion. We don't need ten discussions going at once. Come over to the stickied thread! We have Bungie staff.

 

Holy crap, Brodish! You sent me that email a while back. I need to respond to it. I can't believe I forgot about that.

 

When I tell people to search, I don't mean to rez the topic. Usually, this is in Forge Discussion or Customer Service. If the question has been asked before, PLEASE check to see if it's been answered before asking it again. Of course, you also don't want to reply back to the older thread.

 

Do whatever you want. I'd say maker a new topic rather than necro-post.

1. If you would have to necro-post, it was an unsuccesful thread.
2. It is infractable.

If people yell at you, beat them up.

 

If it's asking a question that could be simply be answered by looking at previous threads then there is no point posting the same question again.

 

I thought it was pretty clear at that point, you just don't post it.
