Where did all out AC OG posters go?

[vbreal]

got to remember this is ANDROIDcommunity, not G1community. the site will continue to grow with the release of new phones supporting android. peeps probably busy with work and life. i myself have been a bit busy with helping campaigning, work and my Lil mini me. haa this site has a lot to offer. some of the Go's will be back and some wont. that's how it is in this forum ish.

one of the things we need to do is make new members feel welcomed and not bash them for making repeat threads that we have seen over and over again. they reply back all funky next thing u know the thread goes sour. some of the old heads probably didn't want to be around that any longer. i know i found it annoying.

@vbreal: well put!

I know I lurked around until release day and did not post until I read the threads. I think we are getting a lot of people joining and posting when they have a problem with thier G1's and not taking the time to thoroughly searh the forum for the solutions or read the Knowledge base. We want to be helpful but damn....
Oh and please ban cc1122...his posts are all commercial crap.

Perhaps they Og'd out and all shot themselves. That's all that culture does anyway.

Whats up to all my Og's. I agree with vbreal that a lot of the noobs get bashed for duplicate threads or just being noobs, but all the Og's and Mods have to remember that it was much easier when this forum was first started, to do a simple search. Now it takes you a hour or more just to find anything remotely useful pertaining to your search. In the time it takes to find and read each reply (half which are BS), you can simply start a new thread and hope to get a somewhat intelligent response.

Just a suggestion, why don't a Mod implement a feature such as the reputation icon (which is never used) for negative bashing, flaming, spamming, or any such negative posts that take away from the further building up of our community.

It could work like: If a thread or post is looked upon as negative, each forum member will have the opportunity to hit the negative icon. After a certain number of negative hits, a Mod can warn said member that his or her comments are not appreciated or helpful. If further negative hits are accumulated, Mods can determine to ban or take appropriate action. I think this would work, because not just one or two negative marks can cause damage to members rep, It would make members think about their comments and criticism. Appeals could be made to the Mods, member could post a apology and all could be worked out. A point system which the Mods can determine the number.

I know some of you are going to say you can already report a post, but this would be a little easier. Just an idea.
