The "Sony Games" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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.....

Thats a good points as well Grapo...You kinda feel most subjects have been explored now..I got a few decent ideas, but its getting myself to write it up that is difficult. Ill have loads of spare time on the hols, so Ill do a couple of posts
Well, not bragging but i managed it over the past 5 weeks, countless number of posts which were mostly original to my knowledge and still they didnt get the best repsonces in here.
maybe no-one can think of anything original to write! lots of stuff has all been done before, its hard to think stuff up.

This all comes down to spam. People who do not get to read top quality posts in their own forum hardly get much motivation to write new original posts....This is gonna get much worse if something isnt done...
The forum is slowly starting to become a tad boring dont you think? Everyone is starting to focus on stopping the spam in here which is good but thats the only real topic that has got anyones attention these past few days. Today there has been less things to read and give a reply to than there ever really has been.
Isnt the best way to combat the spam to post something worth reading on a new subhect?

Well here is another example. YH had great ideas in his Customer Service Forum post and what do we see here....Yep even in the CUSTOMER SERVICE forum we see spam and needless requests. What on earth is going on there...
Look at Jimmy Dick's "Me Cant Spell" post. He wants a spell-checker on SR. I mean why cant he write his posts in Word and then paste them here...And believe it or not, posts like this get dealt with, and not topics that offer genuine benefits to the forums like YH's...
Look at the posts on the PS2 forum yeah? How many of them are actually good, though-out posts that argue some sort of a point. And now check how many posts are unbelievably pointless and just make you want to kick that person's teeth in.....
