{...} I want to propose as you proposed then I tried to find out if the topic had been created, yes I see there is a topic about that {...}
I considered bumping an existing thread, but I figured that a fresh topic would attract more replies which would lead to greater visibility, which is a net positive in this case (I hope). The irony of making a new topic about unnecessarily making new topics was not lost on me.
{...} And one more thing i saw in this forum, same discussion board as i mentioned above, lots of newbies are creating topics and asking questions, one topic has taken up 30-50 pages with one question {...}
Yup, there seems to be a lot of that. It would be nice to see more locked threads with people asking genuine questions and getting genuine answers before moving on.
Some topics seem to attract spammers who just keep adding more rubbish to the heap. It's almost as if signature spammers are relieved to have
something to post about so they just add their bullshit answer to the end of the thread.
I really wish the quality of discussion was better but I also don't want to get carried away giving signature spammers a hard time because I'd like to join a campaign at some point and maybe keeping the quality of your posts high while still making quota is much harder than I realize.
