I agree.

TBH I don't think there ever has been a rule on this (and IMO one is not necessary).

Perry404 had an idea. If others don't like it it's a reflection of themselves. Perhaps they're jealous that they didn't come up with it themself. Maybe they genuinely think it's a stupid idea.

Regardless, I would like to be a member of a forum where respect is the operative word and we don't have power-tripping on behalf of the mods.

Attack the ideas, not the person. Dude was only trying to help (I think).

Please this is not a case of Mods power tripping, they are acting in what they believe is best for that forum and it's members. Now it's fine that you disagree with their actions, that's why this thread has been left open for discussion but questioning their integrity is improper and is considered a Call Out which is specifically against the rules.

I just thank God every day that I wake up in a free country.

I think it's silly to have locked the original thread. He's just presenting his ideas. If people think he's wrong, then they'll say so. That's why this is a DISCUSSION forum. If someone wanders along and finds his guide, they'll likely read the comments underneath it before taking his advice. If not, then they deserve what they get. Most people would read the guide, then read the discussion relating to it, and come out the other side with more knowledge about the whole operation, both from the OPs guide, and from the resulting discourse. That's how this message board thing is supposed to work. The real problem here is bad attitudes and personal attacks.

I agree but "call-outs" are not permitted. Which means if they are guilty of it you can't bring it up.

I could show you a thousand examples of bad advice threads on Anandtech that were never closed. It just doesn't make sense that one such as this was closed.

its a great catch 22 aint it? but you are sopposed ot notify Derek of whatever is going on. not that will help mind you but those are what you are sopposed to do. you call otu a mod you get banned...even IF YOU ARE RIGHT (just ask specops)

BUT in the orginal thread even i think you went overboard and NO the mods were not power tripping.

personally i think if you are going to go into a tech thread and post that something makes the OS faster and othes with a good deal of knowledge and experiance are telling you that is false you should have benchmarks and if you wont/cant do it hten it should be locked.

IF not we are going to have people comeing in saying that putting an A in front of EVERY file makes it faster or some such bullshit.

I was the mod that locked the original thread. The reason it was locked was already presented in my edit. It was not silly.

Secondly, when someone posts a subject that appears controversial, such as this topic seems to be, it might be in the best interests of the presenter to actually satisfy some of the questions. In this case, benchmarks were asked of Perry but the response was:

I'll leave the benchmarks to others. The crowd is "somewhat" knowledgeable. The trouble with most computer techs is that they usually only know what they're talking about half the time. This includes the anandtech crowd.


Again yes benchmarks are fantastic but I don't really care enough about it to log the work myself at this point in time.

These are not an acceptable responses for the thread to go on, much less go on civilly, which it did not, thus the main reason I locked it. The thread went downhill afterwards.

If the OP does not "care enough to log the work myself" as he states, why would anyone care enough to take the thread seriously? I am just pointing out what I see are problems, since this PFI thread asked how can he do it right.

If someone made a thread with a CPU mod that claimed if you did these things, your computer would go faster and didn't not post benchmarks or proof, it wouldn't be acceptable. Especially after people asked for benches but then said "I'll leave it for others to bench". That wouldn't be acceptable and I would have also locked that thread, had it been written.

Thirdly, a title such as:

Perry's guide to installing & maintaining a fast windows environment

might give the impression that this is an endorsed guide. IMO, this can present problems for the new or uninformed member not quite in the know of operating systems and such. A more responsible title such as:

"Suggestions for installing & maintaining a fast windows environment"

might be more appropriate.

If you are doing something different that is not quite mainstream in thinking then I would not call this a guide or in the OP's case, Perry's guide. Calling it a guide alone, has implications of general acceptance whether you believe it or not.

Perry is entitled to his opinions, as are the others. But since he created the thread in the first place, it would be in his best interests to try to convince the people when they are posing questions. Telling people to essentially take it on faith really won't fly and you did see the results.

that still does not make any sense. he agreed with himself? eh? whatever.

 

[bsobel]

Once again, Perry your thread was locked because of the way you treated other members in OS. You attacked other members in at least 3 threads that week. Remember the comment to Smilin on the basis of 'supposed experts say' and claiming (without evidence) that MS hides defects.

Learn to respect other posters, and you can post whatever you like. However, when you do and then get mad when they correct or refute you, you're going to have the same issue you had in these threads.

Alright so even though I believe this is somewhat bullshit because I am being held to a standard that hundreds of others aren't...if I have benchmarks, as some have so rudely exclaimed all along, then this resolves the issue and I will be able to create the thread as I originally intended. Correct?

What I don't want is to complete these benchmarks, which will take time, and have the thread closed because of flamers crying that one persons benchmarks cannot be trusted.

 

[esquared]

The reason why I locked the first thread was insults and going off topic.

I am just giving you suggestions so you can have a easier time dealing with the questions that will arise again should you choose to make another thread. You don't have to do any any of the above. I do not want you thinking that you are held to a different standard that the other posters. But, if you want to be credible, why not go the extra step here?

You guys keep it civil and I don't foresee a problem.

Perry, you've been told this a number of times both in this thread and via PM. Your thread was locked due to the way you treated other posters in OS. Here is a sampling of your comments:

Do you ever even bother actually reading anything? Look again.
Of course you shrewd computer savvy wannabes were on the spot to help right?
I find it rather humorous that you tech geniuses have never heard about this
You're living in a delusional little world.
If you're wondering why people don't take you seriously it's because you're a Joker
Why don't you take your A+ certification and find a job that will help you learn how to fix printers
Sound like you know what you're talking about and then you shall receive the respect you desire. Sorry to say that day is probably a long way off for you.
I'm sorry crusty but you are dead wrong.
Guess you'll just have to try it out and prove me wrong.
Aside from that you people are showing your ignorance.
Exactly what the forums are for. To educate the ignorant. You are in the right place.
How about stop spamming in my thread now? All I have done is shared my experience.
That's bull. Just leave it alone and stop baiting me. Others are the ones thread crapping not me.
Help for you is that way -->>> (a link to a PC for dummys book)

OS isn't P&N and your not going to attack others there without getting your theads locked or getting a vacation. Clear enough for you?

To be fair, unless I am mistaken, none of these are from the second thread.
Yet, the second thread was locked.

One does the crime, one has to do the time.
So, one might ask, how long are his threads going to be locked as a punishment?

Please don't get me wrong. My understanding is that the mods are volunteers and they have to spend time and practically judge. I hate to be a judge. So, I personally thank the mods for doing the job so that I can enjoy these forums. No one is holding a gun to my head. I am here because I like to be here. That goes for everyone else who posts here. So, I appreciate your work.

I have learned a lot from many of these forums. One is the OS forum. Even though there are some taboos in that particular forum like partitioning or shutting down system restore or (puts on a helmet and bullet-proof vest) page file manipulation (God help me now), but I still enjoy the forum and learn from it.

All I am saying is that give the guy a break. It has been made clear to him that he should respect other posters. It was said that he should not title his thread a "Guide". At least not without the permission of the mods.

So, if he does respect the posters, are we going to give him a chance now to state his opinion?
If he respects everyone and yet someone thread ****s, are we going to ask that person to stop it?

Respectfully

The issue on the second thread is he simply reposted the locked one. If a thread is locked, users can't simply 'recreate it' by reposting it.

Despite your assertions about what has been made clear to Perry404, I have seen nothing from him that indicates in any way that he understands. His last post "if I have benchmarks, as some have so rudely exclaimed all along, then this resolves the issue and I will be able to create the thread as I originally intended. Correct? " would argue that he still doesn't get it. Even if he does, I don't know how well his threads will be received in there. He started out insulting nearly everyone who posted and the populace of AnandTech Forums in general. They may not be so willing to forgive and forget.
