Which one is better. Gta3 is longer and more violent but MGS2 looks amzing and plays amazing. Which one? Does anybody think that Stuntman will be good or Medal of Honour?

London Lad and Diplomat - read my reply..

Yeah some regulars do get on their high horses with newbies when they did exactly the same things when they first came here, basically as long as people arn't abusive to each other this place hums along nicely. Just enjoy it for what it is..

I would rather consider spamming threads like "Wookie monster thread" or "Pro Evo thread" or "Happy birhtday ....." or "New Nicknames" or "Game chain" and stuff like that. If anything is BS then that is, cause it has nothing to do with PS. Of course, those who donīt want, donīt have to read them. So is spamming a right which is reserved for regulars?

- agreed mate! I don't understand how a topic, which may, or may not, have been discussed months ago, can be considered as SPAM? How can a newbie possibly know what was discussed 4 months ago!?!?!
Also, why r people reading elliots initial post so narrowly!?! - the question isnt simply implying, compare GTA3 to MGS2; he's just asking for views on said games and the views on Stuntman and MoH - how can this be SPAM?
Still confused - a newbie!

BTW - as the regs are so clearly offended by SPAM surely there should be a link to a page expalaing exactly what this entails and also a section explaining the board etiquette/rules, so us newbies can avoid a ban! (Also who has the authority to ban anyway? - doesnt SR own these sites and decide!?!?!)
Now evenmore confused! lol

Spamming is basically what these idiots have been doing to this thread.

The guy is a newbie for chrissake.

Metalgearking - You were a total spammer which was why you had your first ban - Dont take it out on newbies as they come in - they need to learn the same as you did !

Lecture over !!

Now the correct way to deal with this is to say.

Thanks for your post but this is one of those topics that has been dealt with before. To help you I will pop the last thread to the top for you to read - and yes i will do that in a mo...


By the way - both of these games are excellent on their own merits. :D

I'm also a newbie on here, so please tell us newbies what is and isn't spamming, as it's a ps1 & ps2 chat site, i would have thought anything to do with ps2 & ps2 is ok.

If your not interested in the title don't read it.
