Some of you have noticed now that our little niche in N.B.F. has become quite popular no doubt because of Dell’s amazing success in the computer market. With there success comes our success with new users inputing into our now not so little community helping each other like forums are supposed to. I wanted to add guidelines to some things we should do to help other members out.
1. Regarding SHIPTIME/LCD ISSUE THREADS
These topics which have been the brunt of all new posts in this section alone. I’ve gotten a LOT of complaints about these 2 topics showing up every other post and I sort of agree here and there that we should trim down on them. Things we should be doing is posting on top of older threads unless there is specifically an issue with either topics that no one has seen or heard about yet. Remember making more than 1 topic of the same issue will make it that much harder to find a resolution for when someone runs that line on the search bar.
2. Regarding SUPPORT QUESTIONS
I know some of you avoid the support section which is ok because dedicated people like Myself, Sakor and many others visit to lend a helping hand there. However some of you feel posting questions there wont get answers so instead you post in the general popular areas. Its not like Im not allowing such a thing but asking questions there will only clutter that section when you have a dedicated area where people are willing to answer. I even make it a point to search for no reply topics in the support section and find any solution possible to help so don’t be afraid to use that section instead of loading up the already popular areas which causes clutter there.
3. Regarding SIGNATURES
So far this has been the bane of my existence here. Some of seem to think that making your signatures over 10 lines long garners uniqueness or attention but your doing something which annoys people. Simply put some of you don’t realize that when you have a signature that’s vertically impressive your also displaying it each time you post. Someone who has no signature and posts 11 times will be usually out sized by those with huge sigs who posted only 3 times. I wanted to issue some advice and guidelines for those of you making a sig or who have one that is just too tall. Build your sig horizontally Like My profile or Dellbert’s and Sakor’s just to name a few example. Try not making them taller than 10 Lines and in fact make the font size smaller if you are looking to make it vertically built. As time goes on our screens will be wider not taller since so few of us plug in to an external screen with massive resolutions.
These are the points I wanted to get across with you all today I hope you will follow some if not all my guidelines here and together lets make this forum better than it already is ok?
Failure to comply will result in termination with EXTREME prejudice ! J/K
