'Unnecessary' posts; please read

G'day all,

In recent times it has been brought to my attention that a minority of members have been a bit out of control as far as unnecessary posting is concerned. This includes having chit-chat conversation via the forums rather than PM, multiple posts in a row, and unhelpful or time-wasting replies to technical questions, such as "Nope, sorry, i can't help".

Please be aware that compared to many other forums, we do prefer quality over quantity of posts and when a minority do not respect this, it causes aggravation. Higher post count does not equal a better reputation on the forums when a member becomes infamous for useless posts.

Now that the matter has been brought to everyone's attention, we will be sending out warnings to any such bandwidth-wasting members who continue this practise.

This is a difficult rule to enforce as the forums are not expected to be 100% serious, but to take no action would risk a lowering of our overall standards.

I invite any constructive discussion here.

Cheers!
