Why using the search function is important!

[DJ91990]

Hello everyone, I am here to give a good reason as to why it is important to use the search bar before you start a new topic.

So just recently I created a topic about the 2011 Pokemon distribution cartridge.

I was so excited when I saw that there was a replay on my newly created topic within minutes.

It was then that I realized my mistake;

DigitalDeviant:
"Wasn't this posted a few weeks ago?"

ME:
"It was?"

Oh-no...I just did a bad thing!

Well here is the topic from a few weeks ago: http://gbatemp.net/t272175-ds-xxxx-pokemon...n-cart-2011-usa

And here is my topic with my BIG RED WARNING. http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=274...=0#entry3388586

With the damage already done, here is what I did;

I took the IMPORTANT INFORMATION regarding how to properly use the distribution cartridge and copy-pasted it to the original topic that was made two weeks ago.

Long story short:
BEFORE YOU MUTHA ****ING POST, SEARCH THE MUTHA ****ING BOARD!


So Tempers, what stupid n00bish mistakes have you made recently?

Also, Mods...sorry you have to clean up my mess.

It is times like this where I wish there was an option for the original poster to delete their own topic.

*Thanks to DigitalDeviant for jogging my memory!

Say which user was it that reminded you, say it....

We've all made this mistake before. not a huge deal.
Just PM a moderator that is over the area where your thread was created,
or report the duplicate thread.
There's no penalty for it, and we'll gladly help you out.
I would have deleted your thread just now, but since you're linking to it here, I simply closed it.

Ugh. Who the hell says 'Mutha'?

Muthafucking Samuel L. Jackson. that's who.

dude, that's just to harsh on yourself. i'm talking about the big red warning. i think admitting your mistake is enough.

The mods are slacking off, This should be at least 40% warn level when a mod is in a good mood.

I agree - using the search function is a good idea... although sometimes the GBATemp one doesn't quite show what you were looking for

Because of this I 'made' a Google/GBATemp search 'bar' for Firefox which I use all the time,

& I haven't left those with Chrome either, I had posted this guide for them as well

I think you might be overreacting a little...

 

[ShadowSoldier]

Yeah too bad using the Search button doesn't correct your spelling though huh?

"Avoid future disapointment and embarrisment!"

Rather than adding a space in the URL in that post, why didn't you just use a code box?
