Maybe the Mods could just ban everyone that is flaming and the OP can get some help with his problem?

Some people seem to think he's asking for help and playing people to keep responding. I don't see what the issue is, if stumps doesn't like it its not like he's forced to go into the thread. If anything Josh and a few others should probably stay out (things like sell your pc and buy a console aren't helpful)

That seems reasonable. Which is exactly why it would never work.

If they didnt enter the thread to flame the OP others would, if stumps didnt complain here then somone else probably would. Same end result. Whatever it may be, akyshyt just needs a dry slap and a pc's for dummies book, thatll sort him right out :p

Read the thread if you are bored, but be warned. I got 50 posts in and skipped to the last page. He is trying, but not completely. Could be that he is easily confused by all of the noise (and there is a bit - but it looks earned from all his other posts). Stumps and a couple of the other reliable posters posted really good suggestions, but there was some noise that if he tried it all would lead to confusion of someone who is disorganised with unrealistic expectations.

Knowing Stumps and his reliability, I understand his frustration.

To Stumps - you care too much. If he won't take your advice, his loss. He can just posts his fingers raw. Maybe he will give up and get an Xbox (although by the time he is done with it, it will also not have 'satisfactory' performance.) :p

I've given up trying to help him, I tried via PM and Messenger and he still didn't lsten so now I (and a few others) just want the thread locked to remove the temptation of thread crapping...which at the rate it is going could lead to some bannage.

I tried to help this guy out a few times in his first couple threads & it was a total waste of time... then somone posted links to two other forums where he had done the same thing & it became clear that there was either somthing seriously wrong with him or he was a troll.

Although I think he's the latter, I vote against bannage because I find his threads hilarious ... just ignore him & he'll go away sooner or later.

What can I do, I don't have the right screw driver, It will take some time. I am sorry for misbehaving, but how do I remove things without a screw driver. And in India, such things aren't bought online, also my mother couldn't find one. I will remove the card when I get a screw driver.



What makes you think we haven't already done that? When we need advise from you on being a Mod, we'll ask for it. Or hang ourselves.
In the mean time, stay out of his thread(s) (in general not just you) if you can't help or feel he is a troll. He'll show his true colors eventually. If we banned everyone for being less than intelligent we'd be down a lot of members.
