Double Threading

Sim · Post by **Sim** » Sat Aug 19, 2006 1:16 pm

No no not talking about some type of sewing, im talking about the people who insist on making more than one thread about soemthing, ok so it doesn't really ahppen that much on here, more so FF and it's only happened once today but this is me getting annoyed because it happens continuously. Now Iain does a great job of combining them or locking them but........ why should he, are people really that incapable to look first and see if theres a thread already, now granted you may have two people post at exactly the same time and ok i can understand that but its not always that people are just to stupid and its getting on my nerves and i don't see why Iain should have to go around loking and combining threads because of other peoples iggnorance!!!

RANT OVER

most of it is accidental & most 2nd thread people do appologise when they realise their mistake, so i don't really see it as a problem

I have to agree - if only mildly - it takes little time to scroll down the page and read the titles, even enter the keyword in the search facility - and the original subjects which are often duplicated are usually only half a page down, if that.

It's a minor quibble though, and Iain's good at locking duplicates which is how it should be done.

I know yeh it might seem a bit petty but at in the cases im talking about there was a a thread started last night and a duplicate was posted this morning, and another an duplicate posted an hour later, it is just lazy, and whenever i come on i always read the threads first, it really wouldn't take that much. I think im right in thinking that Iain does this volenterily so ok it doesn't take much but really why SHOULD he have to do it thats all, and then you end up positng the same thing on both threads etc, thats all.

RE-RANT OVER

Thats right Sim I do do this voluntarily (must be mad!). Sometimes it is just laziness, but sometimes it can be from threads not being obvious from the subject field what it is about. It can be a nightmare after a match trying to decide which ones to lock and which ones not to!

Iain, can you lock the ones banging on about smoking then please - getting fed up of reading the same old tripe to be honest...

Well the new debate is triggered by the new smoking ban in Welford Road, so it is topical at the moment. Just ignore them for now!
