I think some users (especially in the switch Exploit forum) really spam the thread with questions like "How I get free game pls?" and "SXOS no boot. y" Maybe add Questions boards?

My problem is really with noobs "clogging up" :ha: my toilet-form-browsing, not with the site in anyway. can't fix silly

EDIT- Noobs will be noobs, lazy people will be lazy. I shouldn't let it affect me and we can't fix it. Much love <3

I meant like make it on the actual discussion list for each console. I think the real solution lays in users actually trying to solve a problem on their own before posting, but i know that people probably won't do that.

Who knows? Maybe I am bitter and just yapping.

What makes you think a separate page or section is going to make noobs any more likely to view than what they already do?

As noted, we have the Asks section for people to ask simple questions, and we have the noob paradise threads in every section for noobs to visit and read and post in. Adding some new page isn't going to magically make people stop spamming the same question.

Pretty much every console has a 'noob paradise' thread where these questions should be directed to. It relies on users reading though and like, haha yeah.

This is where we take it to the next level and put FAQs and hyperlinks to the answers on the very page to create a thread.

Kind of reminds me back when people would respond with a large image, or the image itself was on the forum list page itself, saying "NO, YOU CANT PLAY GBA ROMS ON A DS FLASHCART, STOP ASKING!" or something. And yet, the noobs didn't stop asking.

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
