Re: When Baseball Forums go Bad!
A couple of weeks ago in the Everything Else Forum people were complaining about how many unregistered users were on the system. There were many cries of, "Come on people, sign up and join in the discussion!" Now we're seeing the "I don't like all these new people and their inane questions," comments. Granted there are some rediculous questions from newbies but 95 % of the time the topic let's you know it's going to be a ridiculous question, so don't open it up. If you do open the topic and see a lame question, a simple answer wih the comment of "by the way, that's in the such-and-such interview" would be the frinedly thing to do in my opinion." Or don't answer and move on to another topic.
I've been on these forums for well more than a year, mostly as a reader, as is obvious by my post count. Frankly, I don't have a lot of time and would rather read the various posts than chime in with my response to each topic. I see a lot of "Which game is better" topics and roll my eyes, but a few of those same people might wind up contributing some kind of interesting insight down the road and IMO don't really deserve to be blasted out of the starting gate here.
