    • A Solution...


      Recently, there has been a big problem on these boards; People have been asking the same questions over and over again. Here is what I propose: Every time someone asks a question that you know has been asked before, don't answer. It's as simple as that. Don't answer them. Write a polite message telling them to use the "Search" feature, and tell them that it is in the upper right hand corner. That's it. Let them figure it out on their own. This way, when they have another question, they will go right to the "Search." This way, questions and polls that have been asked thousands of times before will no longer be a problem.

      Since when have opinion polls been a problem? If this "problem" is "taken care of," Newbies will never get to post their opinions unless they start a poll themselves. In which case people like you will be telling them to search for old, outdated opinions. Though I think I might use your strategy if somebody asks where the Igadzra missions start AGAIN! :mad: But I don't think opinion polls are a problem, really.

    • So, you think asking questions about missions strings gets old, while asking the same opinion poll over and over again doesn't? For some reason, that makes no sense. I support skyblade here.

    • It makes sense to Samurai. People might change their opinions on ships or weapons or escorts or whatever, but the Igadzra missions will always start at Kitrak, and they will never change their mind. And besides, new people who haven't posted at all have opinions as well. Makes sense to Samurai.

    • Talking in the third person doesn't make you sound intelligent

      If someone's opinions change, then fine, they can post in one of the older opinion thread. What, you want people to start a new thread each time they go through a strand-liking change?

      Can you dig?

    • Skyblade, I am sorry, but this board is mostly for questions about EVO, if someone has a repeated question that someone else posted 10 days ago, then answer it kindly. The knowledgable people should be resectful to the newbies and not say "Oh go find it yourself"
