Can't members start their topics in the RIGHT discussion board?!

she wont let this go, I think she is liking the attention 

Using your own 'reasoning', this may also account for your continued responses.

[falcon9]

Explain to me why I AM THE ONLY ONE put on the chopping block here for not letting it go....

This is due to faulty 'reasoning' on her part and the fervent desire to have the paint dry after she'd painted herself into a corner.

Let it go......

Obvously.Which is strange,since she didn't even start the thread.

I suppose if nothing else,I added to my post count.But,I'm not interested in getting "The Last Word".I've learend loooong ago on the internet that's a game for losers.There's always someone with a bigger ego and too much time on their hands than I.

I suppose if nothing else,I added to my post count.

"A contributory post is one that offers some insight, makes people laugh, carries a conversation, provides information or help, or something along those lines.  It's not spam, or an attempt to make money for oneself, and it's not short or missing content.  Basically, if you post just to meet the 30 post requirement, you wont qualify." - Administrator.

Ok i'm lost now, maybe this is all me...i'm not the sharpest knife in the draw...sorry

I stumbled onto this thread under the suggestions header so unless it got moved, it seems to be that if suggestions was the intended location it did get started in the right place. Some of us have different ways of defining what would be appropriate in the various headings, but then I also just left a post on payments that was discussing approval or disapproval of gay marriage, now that one probably should have gone in the off topic area, I suspect that it could have been started in the wrong place in order to get credit for the number of posts, but it really does start to clog things up and makes it worse for new people to legitimately locate the useful information they are seeking when they first start. Again it would be nice if there were a way to clean up some of the misdirected posts, to archive things that are either out of date or no longer relevant, I am sure it is tying up a lot of space, and then perhaps periodic reminders that it is more helpful to try and keep posts and new threads in the right location for a greater benefit to all. For members who have been here and been paid out more than 3 or 6 times for their postings, it might be beneficial to institute a bit of a take away system, 3 warnings that you have posted to the wrong thread, mostly for non topic things in major topic areas and then void all the posts prior and make them start again, if the party reaches 6 then obviously they do not respect the forum process and should no longer be permitted to participate at all, clearing the way for those who do respect the process. Does that seem fair? Maybe ,maybe not, but it is food for thought. Admins and monitors have enough to do without having to baby sit adults who should be self controlled.

Yes!  Thank you TOMAS7!  I agree.

Thanks DUDE!!! YOU NAILED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm very happy that there's quite a few people that agree with me. I'm wondering what FusionCash can do to regulate topics and messages? I mean... I doubt they can delete everyone's topic and messages who doesn't fall in the right place, but... IDK... this is becoming SO ANNOYING!!!!

I totally agree, and I think it's WAY PAST "becoming" annoying.

I wanted to add these other things I think have also gotten WAY out of hand:
1)Topics REPEATEDLY started with QUESTIONS on things (BASIC INFO for new people) that are posted BY ADMIN  in the rules, FAQs, and/or on FC forum boards.
I don't understand -
WHY can't these people take time to READ THE INFORMATION that is posted for ALL NEW MEMBERS?
If they would read this- as they are SUPPOSED TO be doing- we wouldn't see 5, 10, 15 NEW TOPICS started on the same day (& started ALL OVER, on different boards), asking (for example) "How do I get the $3.00 forum posting bonus?"
     
2)New topics being started over and over again about the EXACT SAME ISSUE or problem, or ASKING THE SAME QUESTION; sometimes within MINUTES after the last one was started/posted.
AGAIN, I don't understand-
WHY can't people take time to LOOK FOR and READ posts that have already been made about whatever it is they need or want to know?
If they did so, they would often find the answer is already posted, and we wouldn't have 10, 15, 20 NEW TOPICS started (& ALL OVER, on different boards), asking THE SAME THING.

AS well as this from a new member:

I'm a newbie and I totally agree. Posting in wrong topic makes it hard to find legit help. It also breeds repetition which is very annoying.

And this as well:

And to EVERYBODY who says "This is a stupid thing to worry about, because it isn't a big deal if things are posted in the wrong place"-
Okay, it doesn't matter to you. And since it doesn't matter to you, therefore, it shouldn't matter to anyone?

I have a few questions for those whose opinion is that it doesn't matter what is posted where; why bother having forums, subforums and thread subjects in FC at all?  What if libraries, dictionaries or interent(sic) search engines were disorganised(sic) in similar ways? 

:notworthy(sic): Thank you, oh Great and Wise (honorary)

"atheist big-wig"

 
This was part of what the OP said in their posted suggestion, also.

"What if libraries, dictionaries or internet search engines were disorganised(sic) in similar ways?"
Then everyone could start disregarding proper spelling too, and since that seems to be the popular trend anymore, I imagine this would work well for some.....
Until the first time THEIR search for something doesn't quite work for them

Bottom line, yes it may be a small thing to some and an important thing to others, we all are trying to navigate here as easily as possible it will serve us all and all new people to TRY to keep things clear, clean and in good working order. Each of us should have some responsibility to each other to do the right thing and it also shows respect to the site and the administrators and moderators who no doubt already have their hands full.

Good luck to all no matter where or what you are posting.

TOMAS, I think eveyone agrees that YES things should be put in the proper place, I was only trying to say that all right already we get it  why can't we give this a rest now? and I ONLY come to THIS topic when I get an email saying someone posted....i'm NOT trying to score points, i'm NOT trying to cause trouble i'm just saying LET IT GO We get the picture  ....but i'm sure there will be plenty of more postings on this matter, but honestly there ARE far more important things to worry about then dwelling on where this goes, where that goes, look who spelt that wrong....I mean GEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZZZ...OK I'll zip it now lol...but peeps will drag this on.. 

I hope everyone has a nice weekend

I've gone through and cleaned up a bunch of topics -- mostly moved them to 'off-topic' where they belong.

By Monday it will probably be a mess again.

I do agree that some people are simply too lazy to post in the correct forum, but it's a good idea to remember that for many members, this is the first time they've ever used a forum.  It can be confusing and overwhelming if you're not used to it (lots of links and buttons on each page).  Plenty of the miscategorized topics seem to be from new or first-time posters.

Thank you Administrator, no doubt i'm one who messes things up around here, heck I can screw up a free lunch...I hope this puts an end to this mess

....I ONLY come to THIS topic when I get an email saying someone posted....

Then why not REMOVE the "email notification"?

OK I'll zip it now....

Which you DIDN'T

lol...but peeps will drag this on..

 
Like YOU, for instance?

You certainly have a hypocritical outlook when it comes to people posting on this topic...
I fail to understand why you call ME out as an A**hole for making ANY post here, but then you can make posts like this-

Let it go......

Jedi she wont let this go, I think she is liking the attention 

posted JUST TO MAKE DEROGATORY COMMENTS ABOUT ME - and that's JUST FINE??
