I'm guilty of telling noobs in the spoiler forum and what not to use the search function if the question they ask has already been asked. It just annoys me that ppl can be so lazy as to not use it. I mean if i'm on another message board looking for advice on another game i use that boards search function and nearly every time i find the answer to my question

It's called grave digging. I did that a few times. Generally not well accepted here


Is a bit of an understatement.
There was a time when death threats were made and lynch mobs patrolled waiting for some on to mess up......happy days.

/me agrees with sw. i think we should stamp out gravedigging and allow posting new threads about stuff already discussed before.

So, you dug up this topic so that you could tell us that you mod Halo. Great, we're all happy for you. *Shakes head*

I'm not seeing anything productive coming from allowing this thread to live, and if I were a moderater, I would have clicked it a long time ago. I asked that we let this thread die a second time and NEVER bring it up again. --- VH16

By the way, I realise the irony in posting more filler/spam in a thread I am acusing of filling/spamming

Grave digging for no reason gets flamed - so someone who adds "Cool" would mean i want to bash them......with a 2 week old haddock....(non smoked variety)....the only problem is that EVERYONE likes to pile their disapproval onto them at the same time

However, new threads on questions asked 100 times shows that they do NOT bother searching at all, but expect YOU to bother to take the time to explain everything to them (again) in responding........and then get all arsey when no-one does!! If they dig up old threads to ask a pertinent question - then I am all for it - and will happily oblige in answering

So grave digging is TOO GENERAL a term. If they SPAM an old thread to resurrect it ONLY to spam (not to continue a discussion in a relevent manner) - then that is what i call grave digging.

Lets now hope that this thread dies quickly without needing to help it along huh?

Avaris - your enthusiasm in posting is endearing....

OK... @Chips, sorry to have to correct you there but its Aravis, if you want to use that word, then do spell it right will you?? it's Avarice

@Aravis, to put it simply what he meant, is that you are one of the most enthousiatic newbs (not n00bs, please take note of that) he has seen of late, because you are not afraid to ask questions (like this thread about Grave digging), and if he is not in a bit of a sarcastic mood, I think he gives you a go-ahead to post, but please, for the sakes of us all, think before you post, meaning, consider if its worth posting. I did that, and look where it has brought me...

Ok time to let this thread sink down to the depths but I have one last thing to say Loc. Also I made this thread when I was a newb to the forums.

*Slap* That was a abnormally large slap. To the face. Thank you, very much. I just love to live in the off topic forum though. But still man, that hurt .

Also I made this thread when I was a newb to the forums.
