I think it's fair for people to link a specific thread for reference purposes but 'necro-bumping' (who the hell came up with that stupid word?) seems to be used to discredit or humiliate someone.

i said it in countless other forums and i say it again: it would be cool if the system could filter necro posts itself and deny the threads to be displayed on the main board.

I get why people dont allow necroposting but on the other hand having all this content being banned from using is kinda stupid too. All this stuff will pile up and jack up the internet Bills you will pay over time.

Why i left PC gaming

A limit on the user? If that were the case I wouldn't be able to make a NX thread until its successor is unveiled! XD

This are interesting times for NIntendo in general. It's natural to see people talking and discussing every little detail they could get, even if there are mostly rumours.

If you know you've done a flood of threads based on (Mostly) Rumours then when there is actual information about the system from the big N in the sky, all you will have done with the other threads is just sour people to NX news before there is any.

Actually, most of my NX threads are "What if" threads, not rumours. People always post those before I can :P

You know it deserves the GOTY.

But how do you define what counts as a topic? If I make a thread discussing the NX's controllers and another user makes a NX thread about its possible specs, we are not talking about the same thing, even if the console in question is the same.

Then you should create a new thread quick before someone else does. If you're late, restraint yourself and wait for tomorrow and construct a really good points while you're at it.

I'm talking about the current trend that is obviously occurs in VGC *coughnxcough*.

New threads about it are created every hour and drown the other discussions, altering the forum ecosystem.

How about create new rules about it like set a limit of creating the new threads about that topic to 3 every 24 hours.

Let's also set a limit to how many times people can post in general. I'm sick of these new users showing me up

Agreed. Even new users aren't actually new *coughaltcough*

Imagine if every time you turned on a news channel or broadcast it was just a picture of Will Smiths face, with the presenter looking at it, turning to the camera then starting to talk about what movies they might like to See Will Smith in, what his family might do if he gets those movies and Will he have a portable spin off series of the movie which Jaden will star, like... every single news channel, even if you turned on the radio, nothing but Will Smith (non) news based on nothing. After a while surely you can see how if you turned on a news channel and it was the same presenter turning around from the picture towards the camera and making Anagrams from the letters in his name... you'd be like... "fucking hell, I can't stand Will Smiths face" This to me is what the current NX threads are doing, I'm already somewhat bored of NX before it's even been shown because of it.

Bit harsh on the Fresh Prince there... but hopefully you get what I mean... or I've just gone completely mad from lack of sleep and too much NX and Will Smith!
