The "Xbox Games" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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.
Er, I don't want this to sound like some stuck-up "I'm better than all of you" type post, but I'd like to say something.
Recently the people in the Sony forum have realised that they are plagued by people starting pointless posts, posting in text speak, and generally spamming the place up so all the good topics are lost.
Basically, I'd just like ALL of us (including me, so you can shout at me as well if I do anything mentioned below) to be sensible and stick to some obvious rules - just to help make the place nice for all of us. The "rules" (for want of a better word) COULD be these:
Please don't use "txt tlk". That has it's place on mobile phones, not on forums.
Please don't start pointless topics. Eg, "Topic title: Halo. Topic content: Looks good, eh?" for example.
Please don't start loads of topics about the same game. Sony forum has about 15 topics about MGS2 - there's simply no need for that many.
If you need help/info on a game, have a quick look through the old posts - there maybe the answer there already.
Basically, just think before you hit the POST THIS MESSAGE BUTTON, eh?
Now, I don't consider myself any better than you, ignore the gold name. I'm just SUGGESTING (and they are only suggestions) a few things that may help us keep ths forum an information and fun filled place - instead of full of spam and rubbish.
If you disagree that's cool, just suggest what I've got wrong/how it oculd be better/why you disagree and we'll sort it out.
If you agree, even better.
Cheers for reading.

Daveus, fair enough.
I'm not trying to impose anything on anybody.
I was merely suggesting a couple of things which may help keep the forums in a better state than the Sony forum is in now.
No one has to do what I said, they were just some ideas I had last night.

Also, might be an idea to bump this topic to the top, makes sure most people at least get to read it.

the problem has been there (in the sony forums) for ages now....

i almost started a topic about my misfortunes of my xbox not arriving but then i thought to myself that that sort of topic would really annoy me so naturally i never submitted it!
