Introducing the GOOGLABILITY RULE. (better name?)

Asking for anything that can be found in less than 30 seconds with a simple Google Search of the item in question will result in your post or topic being locked or deleted.

Yea or nay?

Way too strict, maybe just post deleted / topic locked :S?

Yea.


Forum trolls need to be dealt with more harshly.

[18:29:04] -: I asked for photoshop help
[18:29:10] -: I could easily google all sorts of tutorials
[18:29:17] -: but I was hoping that I could get a better response
[18:29:19] -: from people
[18:29:33] -: such as sources for fonts, for renders
[18:29:35] -: etc..
[18:29:43] -: google COULD of helped
[18:29:58] -: I did a google tutorial before hand
[18:30:02] -: and it was way too complicated...

We need some sort of a loophole for things like this. ;o

Now i feel like an asshole for spamming on msn too much !

There are sites that specialize in shit like that, this is a forum dedicated to mapping/modding in Starcraft and its future titles. While it might have been a reasonable question, its far better to google a community that can help with that shit.

Also, moderators can use their own discretion to ban who they think is being a troll and who has a reasonable question.

Yay, these people keep forum requesting and I end up googling it and uploading it for people. They should be fined too.

Make it have at least 3 warnings like the first time is a warning the second is too but the third is suspension.

Nay on the suspension, something like that is hardly serious enough to warrant it. Give new (and less intelligent) members a chance.

How will we know whos stupid then?

Oh snap I think I asked a question that can be answered by google.

Maybe warning for the first two offences, large fine for the second two, then a suspension for offenses five and up? Trolls can (and should be) be banhammered, but don't go TOO crazy. (Who on SEN isn't too crazy already, though?)

LOL.

I vote nay
and how did he make that picture like that?

You clearly throw the term troll around w/o understanding its actual meaning.

I say yea.

Theres too many people coming on here asking questions that have already been answered, and the limitations to sc will always force us to yield the same answer for all of them and we'll not learn anything.

Ban them beshes..Yea

Okay then delete null, serious discussion, technology and computers, games and media, art, and literature. Because none of them are mapping / modding and there are already other communities for stuff like that thus we should totally just get rid of it? Retardws to say the least.

If you don't feel like answering a question... Don't. Help them or move on, cram the whinning. If they spam their question, treat it as such. That is all. Punitive measures against innocent ignorance is unnecessary and downright juvenile. Get over yourselves.

It saves time. You type your query into a search instead of typing full sentences asking the same thing into a forum. And then the time waiting for a response.
This is the internet. Is it unreasonable to expect people to know how to use it well?
Okay. Maybe it will drive people out. People who don't know how to use Google. Not my idea of people who will be greatly missed.
I guess I'll concede that a suspension for a first time offense is a little harsh.

No moose dont give in to the heathens!
