It's you trying to make things better by complaining in the wrong places.

If someone posts something deemed as spam, you that think you're helping, are doing the opposite.

Here's an example:

Post 1: Y R Gamecube so gay?

Post 2: This is spam, stop it.

Post 3: Yeah, try to come up with a decent post, idiot.

Post 4: Yet another rubbish newbie post

and so it goes on, this post has a few replies, people think it must be interesting, read it, and reply with something that doesn't help.

Meanwhile, a decent post, more than a few paragraphs long is slowly slipping down the page as you tell each other that a spade is a spade.

So here's a suggestion, don't reply to rubbish posts.

If someone writes something, and no one replies, maybe they'll see why, and benefit from it more than if you attack them.

Aliboy, it's a good idea, but how would you make them read it?

I think the problem is also based on new people who arrive here on the knowledge that they can win games for free with posts, cheats and reviews. How many of you read the rules and stuff before you began to post or checked out the standard of posts that the regulars and notables made?

I think there should be a guide (maybe written by regulars, notables and staff) pointing out important points to note when writing posts or reviews just to give people who join some advise and help them write good posts and make friends rather than SPAM and copy reviews and get abuse from those who dislike these action.

So what do the clever ones out there think?

Fools. All of you. Now, it's my part to complain a lot and refer you to a pitiful post me. I'm probably gay, too.

We're notables because we rule.

That is correct.

And before anyone starts moaning?

We don't rule because we're notables.
We're notables because we rule.

Now stand back in awe and praise us.
