If someone posts a question about something that might have been posted several times alreadyby other uses, that is NOT a good reason for them not to ask it. You cannot expect every person to trawl through each board and thread to find answers to questions that might not even be relevant to their own. Nor does the search tool function as many users create topics with irrelevant headings. And ultimately, it doesn't enter the heads of most users that their question may have been asked before because to them its a completely new idea that doesn't conform with popular debate or even exist in reality yet.

In short, who cares if its been asked before anyway? Is it really so annoying to see the same question appear a few times? Do you not have other things to think about in your lives?

If you want to ask a question, you should be able to do so without being flamed. So go ahead and ask them and the good souls will respond.

Agreed.

I'd like to see some old posts, posted again.

But too afraid to get graped if I do.

People should google for answers before they post. Unless they've got a unique question, are trying to start a discussion or have something interesting to say they shouldn't make a thread.

I agree with OP, as long as it's not on the front page or something.

Try posting a thread about piracy. You WILL be flamed. You might also want to check out the Star Wars: The Old Republic gamespace boards.

If someone asks something that was asked a couple of weeks ago = I don't care If someone asks something that was asked the day before...and the day before, then its annoying, especially when the thread is only on the second/third page

exactly. if you just LOOK at the threads first BEFORE you ask a question, u can avoid duplicating a RECENT question. If it has been over a week, then its no big deal.

I don't mind it at all, unless there's a similar thread on the same page or a few pages back. Even so, it doesn't matter that much.

I can't think of any times where this has happened recently. I mean, we're all pretty tollerant of the influx of girl help threads that endlessly flow into the boards.

It's usually just old news that gets blasted to hell and back.

Agreed. People seem to do that in half of my threads

Hell, we'll see if people do it to my latest potion :D

It depends. If it's identical to threads we get like every day (like religion) it's annoying.

Sadly, these do not exist in OT; only 1 or 2 people.

I don't see a problem with similar threads/questions, as long as it hasn't been asked in a while.

What's a girl help thread?



It's a thread that opens with some guy not wanting to talk to or make a move on a girl that he's positive is madly in love with him and usually ends with him touching her shoulder.

The words 'get a life' spring to mind...
