There are lot of things that i want to bring up at Mylot but didn't..
Yes a lot but I feel like my moves are limited because it's either that the topic has been brought up already four years ago or two months ago or I fear, yes you're reading it FEAR that someone will reply that they've seen or discussed it already. Where was I months ago..? Worst, if someone will tell you to read the guidelines.
Sometimes some people are just not that kind pointing out some facts. I understand they're tired of telling people the same things again and again..But maybe if they want to be of help, they can always find nice ways of putting together their words.
Well for me if you have nothing good to say, then say nothing at all. It's a different thing when opinions differ and it's another thing when you are being responded to sarcastically.
If you wanted to share something but then when you searched and found out that the subject you have in mind was already discussed a year ago or four months ago, would you still start that new discussion?

You know there is bound to be some turnover in the discussions. Where discussions seem to be pop up frequently. There are just certain topics that lend themselves to discussions rather easily. Which is all well and dandy, as while there are times where there is quite some time between discussions. So it would seem new to many people, even if it does seem old for our newcomers.
However, I see discussions a lot of the time, that have something similiar about a half of a page down. I always check the first few pages, but there's really no excuse when its on the same page, only about halfway down. People should take about a minute to scroll down and check the topics that have already posted. They are just wasting their time posting the same topic, which is going to be deleted when someone reports it as a duplicate topic.

Thanks megamatt.
I appreciate your sharing your thoughts with me. :)
I've been careful with starting discussions. Will bear in mind your tip.
Duplicate topics can be a real time waster, I understand.

It's not that they're not kind when pointing you in the right direction. There's just no need to sugarcoat what they're saying when the topic will be deleted anyway.. If they're directing you to the guideline then chances are the topic isn't going to be staying around long, when people are directing you there it's simply to help you out.
So maybe they aren't kind.. but they aren't rude either. It's just that they've been here so long they've probably answered 50 questions already directing them to the same guidelines.

Hi for3verfamous!
I agree with you, there's no need to sugarcoat things especially on topics which will be deleted anyways.. :) Trying to make a point with a proof to it is no problem for me. I even appreciate it.
I am not saying that all those who have been here long enough are all that rude..
And you say maybe they aren't kind , but they aren't rude either..Isn't that sugarcoating in a sense? So what are they really? If they've been here that long and have probably answered the same thing for the 50th time, maybe they can give that chance to react to others if they can't put words together with a light note.. :)
Thanks.
