Re: Soul Of Chogokin
Sorry if anyone dislikes attempts to keep the board in check by minimizing excessive threads, but it hardly does good for there to be 10 threads on a topic when one will suffice. It keeps the conversations together, makes searching and researching easier, and makes the forum less cluttered. From my perspective, elder forum members won't get preferential treatment in this regard.
As for "noob hazing," I guess you are going to get that here until you understand the forum guidelines and norms. But once you catch on to the way things are done, you should be fine.
I personally don't know how similar or different the subject of this thread is from the one linked by Kuzeh, but let me know if it warrants a thread merge.
I totally here what you're saying and I agree. It doesn't make sense to re-post things that people have already causually mentioned. But members like "mr.thrifty" have 3 threads all related to the Wolf Predator Bust under the Aliens and Robots section, and nobody stopped him from starting those redundant threads 3 times.
When I started that predator thread "Poll" of the contraversy of Berserker, I realize that it may have been casually mentioned many times in the main Berserker thread, but no Poll was conducted as to the true number of how many people actually felt he was worth buying vs those who didn't. The reason why I like polls so much is because you get a consensus "measurement" of what's going on. It's a good way to quantify people's opinions, and form rational arguements based on the poll data. Yeah I could have dug through thousands of posts in the main berserker thread, and individually counted who felt the berserker was worth buying and who didn't, but that's not really realistic right?
Let me give you an example of what I mean. Let's say I never conducted a poll of which pred was more desirable between hot toys berserker vs falconer. Then some member named joeblow posts a blanket statement on the main Falconer thread like-"Falconer pred is the best. Everybody likes falconer pred over Berserker!."
Now without conducting a poll, (because according to some senior members out there, it would be too redundant) I would only have two options:
Option 1- dig through hundreds of posts on that main Falconer thread and dig through hundreds of posts in the main berserker thread and count how many people were in favor of falconer vs berserker (which is teadious and thus, nobody would really realistically do)
Option 2: just trust what joeblow posted.
But after my poll on Falconer vs Berserker, I have evidence that most members prefer Berserker over falconer. So now I can refute that argument and say, Falconer is not the most preferred pred, because the poll data indicates otherwise. Argument closed.
I know you may still disagree with what I'm saying. But don't you think it's at least interesting to see the numbers behind the various opinions presented on some of these threads? I am, but hey, it's just me.
I'm getting into my long rants again, but just a final thought to some of the senior members out there with a short fuse or little patience for newbs:
If some of the new members accidently re-post something that was already mentioned in a prior thread, please don't be so harsh with them as you guys were to me. They are still learning. Just nicely or politely let them know that their thread has already been addressed and re-direct them to the related link. No need to be rude to them, put them down and then close their thread without any warning. Most of us "newbs" didn't come here to deliberately annoy you guys and piss you off. Most of us just want to share our opinions and be a part of the various cool discussions on this site, and be a part of the Sideshowfreaks team. Just my 2 cents.
"Can't we all just get along?"
Anyways man I'm browsing through that thread checking everything out. Thanks for the heads up.
