Forum :: Lounge :: Whats with all the sarcasm??

I look on most of the topics on eoserv and other places and people keep saying things like "god gave you **** to ****" or things like use the search bar its not hard..

People post on the topics because there confused dont take the mic out of people for asking for help, Yer some of the people are being stupid but its not very nice taking the mic

the fact is that search thing on eoserv sucks. I never found something with search. But i spent a lot of minutes looking all forum topic by topic. I dont blaim them. And its pointless to post a comment like: search, use search etc. I mean you going to reply to a question and you dont help at all. Why even you reply? If you are not going to answer or help, just dont reply saying "Use search". And most of people search before post.

actually All the Forums searches are working on the same way and for me they work fine.

Something else you need to consider here. If a person creates a thread titled "how do I configure EOSERV" (for example) and gets a thread full of "Use Search" replies, what do you think someone that's actually searching for that information will find?

They'll find those threads, with the right title, and nothing but "Use Search" as an answer.

So they post up a new thread.

And get told to "Use Search" once again.

Thus the vicious cycle continues.

At the end of the day guys, you're signed up to EOSERV forums to receive assistance and also to give assistance in return. Telling someone to use the search function not only doesn't help them, but it also hurts everyone that's actually trying to search later on down the track as they find thread after thread of useless replies and unanswered topics. Sometimes it's better to just give an answer to a simple question or link to a thread that you know already has the solution, at least that way future users will be able to actually find what they're looking for when they need it.
