Hi,
First before I get to what is on my mind, I want to say the Forum is great, and even though I been only registered recently, I am impressed. To be honest I probably would have never joined if it wasn’t for the a friend emailing me with a link to check out a cool wallpaper. I am not a big forum type, and this is the first I ever joined. I guess that’s why I have a question about Forums, cause I never had a Linux question I couldn’t answer or that someone had solved long before me a I just replicated their solution.
Ok I have been hanging out in the forums just reading what people are saying, I must say this is the Largest Community of people like me I ever been in. I even tried to help a some people, mostly about the things I feel passionate about. I am sure you guys can click on my posts LOL, heck I think there’s only 11 maybe now. ;) Well my point is mulling around I notice there is a couple of Fedora Forum members that posting meaningless (barely complete sentences) posts, I think in some vague attempt to push their post count up like some Kid Counter Strike Addict and his Kill count.
LOL, I play Counter Strike so don’t get me wrong, and I am not saying that it has anything to do with complete sentences but its about useful content filled posts. Hey and I think any post that are funny could be a single vowel if it makes me laugh and there’s some good ones in the forum. Honestly 99.99 % of our Forum members are part of a cohesive group of common interests. But that one guy, I mean 00.01 %.
I heard of people that like to hear themselves talk, but I got to add a new category. People that like to see them selves talk. :D , I guess the internet gives way to new personality types. What I want to get to is can we set up a peer report, cause I think that a little peer pressure could cure it right away. I am wondering , Hey am I the only one, I am new to this forum stuff. Any thoughts on this? I mean I know you have a way to report posts, I mean what to report?
Sorry, I start laughing sometimes at the posts, here is an example this and the names and the Thread may have been changed to protect the innocent . ;)
Thread PPC , Help info on setting up Fedora Core 4 Test 2 on a Mac
Post : good suggestion
Post : good suggestion
Post : good suggestion
Post : “Uh, FC4 can go on a Mac”
Right there your brain grinds to a halt “Wa?”
Hey I am interested in hearing people’s thoughts on this. Hey maybe I am the onlyone, and If I am I am sorry
Sincerely sfabkk
