One-time posters are an annoyance. - simmy1smeeve - 02-04-2008 01:38 AM
I just posted this to voice my complaint about members who join, post once or a few times then never come back after that day. The admins should do some "spring cleaning" by removing these members or making a new rule that says "NO ONE-TIME POSTING. If you join, post more than once or a few times." It's just annoying to see all these newborn accounts that are dying because the owners of them are too lazy to come back. This issue needs to be taken care of.

True. Nice idea!

Maybe there should just be a rule like "you must post at least 5 times a month" or something. Some people just like to sit back and read what others have to say rather than adding their own thoughts. It wouldn't be fair if you deleted them just because they don't like posting.
Just my opinion. I agree that they are a bit annoying, but it doesn't really hurt us or the forum if they don't post, now does it?

It doesn't really hurt us, but I do agree with both of you, it's really annoying. I like your idea, Bambi. Maybe for not posting 5 times a month, their account is like "frozen" for a month or something.

I'd take a member who never posts over a member who posts a bunch of nonsense any day

You may find a lot of people are just signing up to get their usernames. I'm sure some will be back when more info is released or when the game finally comes out!

Yep! Some people just like to reserve their usernames. Like Matt said I'm sure people will come back when we get loads of more info and screenshots and trailers.

Which spawns off another possibility - a lot of people were probably hoping there would be more information and such on here. They didn't realize that we have the same information everyone else has. So either they're reserving usernames, like Matt and Munsta said, or they signed up hoping to get the inside-scoop and failed to find what they were looking for.
Either way, let's hope they stick around

I guess it would be a bit unfair to cancel sb's account for him/ her not posting anything. Maybe they're just shy
