The "Sony Games" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
Now I really didnt want to touch this subject again, but seriously this is becoming a joke.
I am referring to these very forum. In the recent months it became flooded with pointless spam and one word replies. Things totally got outof hand in the past 4 weeks or so. All decent topics were flushed down the list and they were replaced by things like "Can you wait for MGS2?". Maybe some of you regard these forums as a place to chat liek you would chat with your mates in school. Some use text language, things like brb gr8 and wot? Why that laziness?
I have been especially concerned with the fact that people who spend long times writing their topics simply do not get the credit they deserve. This is due to the relative lack of feedback from many of you. Once a person sees a long post, they think to themselves-"Nah I cant be bothered to read all that" abd start spamming.
Some of us even think that every long post is a GAD attempt and therefore does not reflect on the writer's feelings and emotions.
As Pro Evo said in the Longest Thread, many of people who are writing long, worth-a-read topics cannot be credited for anything just because seconds after a post is written it is beaten by hordes of MGS2 and GTA3 posts.
I do not want to be a big-head but to be honest in the last few weeks this forum only had 3-4 people post good posts that were actually interesting to read-Pro Evo, SSX Pro, Wookiee Monster and me. Now I am not trying to say my or anyone elses posts are sheer class, but I dont think anyone can argue that there has been hardly no people who posted long thought-provoking posts.
So could we just stop this spam and try and get this forum back ot its feet. AFter all this is one of the most-visited places on SR...And what kind of example are we setting here???
Anyway, I have spoken.....

I mean its so obvious that he wants to get rid of the evidence of him going on porn sites cause his parents are likely to use the computer....No need to do a whole topic devoted to it. Every topic such as the one mentioned puts down all decent posts down one place

Ive been saying this, theres loads of them it's just sad. The people arn't getting the recgonision like you said. People who just chat in the Longest Thread to everyone and 'make friends' get all the praise for beeing good posters, i always see it
But its hard to distinguish between a post and spam sometimes. the person writing it may genuinly think its not spam and get offended if its deleted (not talking about the yahoo one, just generally).
I have to agree with you Triple H, someone has at this very moment put topic in the PS 2 Forum about "Searching for Something in Yahoo" I'm sorry but this is pointless and would probably get a simple answer if it was brought up in the PS2- Longest Thread. Sometimes it take a bit of thought from people, on what they are ding and why they are doing it, I mean why post something stupid and then wonder off leaving spam and not care about what other's think? there have been other's saying look in this other forum at this topic etc...
Pointless. I think SR should do something about the silly topic and spam we get in here, I mean someone must be able to get rid of them surely?

Hehe, doh!
Its not that your idea is bad..its just thatyou know what hapepend to all those people who tried to do another Longest Threads and stuff. They got shouted at...So I think that .....oh dear Asterix has just done one..ARGHHHHH
no offense taken. well anything could be classed as spam if someone doesnt agree with it.
No offense but that would be SPAM in its purest form....I am talking about more people doing thought-provoking topics
someone should create a discussion topic - unlike ps2 longest chat, it shouldnt be chat and should stick to PS2 only. If anyone agrees i will create it its just if i go ahead without others permission i will be accused of spamming.
What!?
Go against the PS2 Crew!
How dare you!
