Forum Searching.

To use the search button or not use the search button, that is the question...
Many Many forums I go to, mod, or admin, always have the 'non-mods' that tell everyone to use the search button.
Non-mod = forum members that think they are moderators.. wankers is another name for them.
Some of these forums are fairly larger in member and post size, and can be quite scary to a new-comer..

I have seen in may cases a new member post a topic and a non-mod will reply bluntly 'use the search button, there are already topics covering this topic' type thing...
So/or the person will use the search button and find a topic that is relevant to the subject they want to discuss and so they ad a good reply and then the 'non-mod' will reply 'don't revive old threads'... Type thing..

So whether the 'member' used the search or not, they will be attacked, yes it is an attack, by the 'non-mod' member..

They can't win.

What I want to say to all forum goers is "If you are not a staff member of the site/forum, shut the hell up, be a part of the community, have fun (at no ones else's expense) be nice to your fellow members, help them, don't attack them and let the moderators/admins/staff handle the 'work' part of it..."
If ya see something out of place/wrong/rule breaking then let the staff handle it. If you don't like it, ignore it and move on.. No need to comment...
