View Full Version : This is getting out of hand

I would have to say that this forum is getting out of hand. Our moderator and Trauma continually make it harder for people to post their problems and questions. Why not let people create a new thread concerning upgrades or barrels? If they need to ask a question the best way to do it is like that. And you guys talk about cluttering. Well how the heck do you expect people to understand 3+ pages in the barrel thread (which I would have to say is the garbage thread). You guys won't even let them talk about the markers in the picture thread. I say this is getting out of hand. In the WGP forum you don't see any of this going on. I would have to say that Silent Knight is doing a magnificent job with that forum. Let people make threads, as long as they are not doubles. I don't see what all the fuss is about. I am not feed up with the so called "clutterness" of the forum. I am feed up with C4 and Trauma not letting people ask their questions in a new thread. Instead they have to consult the 3+ page nonsense over barrels and upgrades. Forums are here to help people. Before on this site people never had any troubles posting a question thread out right. Now we have to worry about whether or not we will get it closed just because we did not put it in the barrel or upgrades thread. I think that C4 needs to be a little more linient due to the fact that we need to help our fellow paintball players. Some of them are already having trouble deciding what they want to buy etc. I don't see why we must make them take another paintstaking 10 minutes just for them to figure out what thread to put it in.



Sorry, I had to get some complaints out of my system.
Maybe we should place this post under the "complaints" thread.

since this will be closed soon

when there are 5 pages about barrels then you should make a barrels thread and all of them are asking the same questions!

also there is only one 3+page thread in this forum and it is the pic thread and people want to see pics in the pic thread if you want to talk about guns PM or E-mail them

Like I said, I am against people posting the exact same threads as others. However, I don't think that people should have to consult a sticky and try to manuever around it when it would just be easier for them to create a new thread.

I don't see why this thread needs to be closed. I just stated what I think is a problem. I am just using my freedom of speech. I by no means meant to offend anyone. I am just stating a problem. I think that trauma and C4 might be pushing it a little to much. They are both very intelligent about Tippmanns, but I think that they should be a little more giving to some of the newbies on here.

the reason it will be close dit that it doesnt belong in this forum it belongs in complaint,suggestions, or off topic

Well, I may go against the moderators and such, but I agree with the complaint. If I have a question, I'd much rather just ask it. Searching through pages of other posts to see if my question was already asked just takes too much time.

Besides, if it helps keep the forum active - even if they are repeat questions, I think it's good.

I'd have to agree with liquid soul, if I want advice on paint or a new barrel id rather have people who own tippmanns help me with my tippmann. After all certain barrels and paint work better in certain guns IMHO.

Well Here I am. I was working so I wasn't here for a day of two.

I am not above criticism, so it is alright to state concerns about the thread as long as they are stated in a reasonable form.

The reason I closed this thread is because there has been so much discussion about J&J barrels that there is a load of info on them already.

Other then that if you want me to let things be a little more open then thats fine. Just post your questions as they come. I have no problem with what is going to help people the best cause after all you guys are here to help and get helped. And for the people who think that it is to clustered or it seems like there is duplicate threads, please pm me and let me know but I will make the final decision on wether or not the thread should stay open or closed. If things don't go the way you see them or you think its a duplicate thread and you have already made your point, don't post in that thread. Its as simple as that. Feel free to post all your questions as they come to you.

And also if you have an issue with how I'm handling things please pm me. Like I said, I am not above criticism and I do consider suggestions so feel free.

Happy posting people.

Thanks, I feel that my criticism was taken seriously. I appreciate your statement C4 and everyone's comment. I will try and mind my own business a little more.
