Crusty I'd appreciate it if you could help me keep this thread on topic. I'm attempting to get an answer to a question and you're dragging this off-topic.
I will repeat my question for those who want to help.
If I have been going about this the wrong way then I can accept that.
I would like to know how I can begin discussing my experience regarding installations and system setups without the thread being closed. I would like to share and discuss this subject with others.
Again I am not making any absolute statements. I am sharing my experience. Requiring benchmarks that would take a hundred hours work in order to share what has worked for me personally cannot possibly be the norm in order to make a simple thread.
So again I ask what is required of me to discuss such a topic and communicate with others on these topics?

It would seem you've been told by many - but the sound of your greatness rings too loudly in your ears for you to hear...

If you have the time to write your guide - the time to post and answer to it - the time to post and complain about the first lock - the time to post it again and answer it - the time to again complain about it being locked a second time - all this time would have better been spent running some benchmarks....

This isn't your private forum - and your attitude sucks....

What is there to discus if you're no willing to do the work to validate your point of view?

Either prove your argument with benchmarks or STFU.

Please stay on topic. I'm really tired of people dragging these threads off topic. Insults are of little help. Insinuating that I have a problem is not helping to resolve this issue.

Okay - then what about the offered opinions bother you?

 

[Cdubneeddeal]

Why are you guys even falling into his little scheme? From the start of this thread and the one he had an issue with last month, IIRC, all he wants to do is argue and debate. That's all there is to it. He's like one of those little brats that continue to egg someone on until they boil.

I'm going to be as simple and accurate as possible so as not to complicate this issue.

Question:
Is it against forum rules to share ones experience and methods/tactics for software installs without posting benchmarks?

Exactly. Imagine coming into this forum looking for advice to fix or speed up your computer (Not knowing shit about them). They stumble upon your thread that you make out coming from a professional, they try your "Guide" then their computer becomes inoperable. Then what? AT has angry people emailing them complaining about some user who posted a "Guide" that broke their OS. Put yourself in someone elses shoes.

Some observations:

1. In my experience guides, tutorials, FAQ lists, etc. are generally posted after consultation with category mods. They tend to contain information generally accepted as valid by most of the posters. If someone just up and posted "Perry's Guide to Deals" in Hot Deals, it would be locked in a heartbeat.

2. If the mods lock a thread, reposting the same thing is a pretty sure way to get that thread locked as well.

3. I see nothing in the second thread to indicate that the OP is trying to start over in a different, more civil way.

4. While I'm happy that Navid and Perry are talking, I am unaware of anything that makes Navid the arbiter of when to repost threads and how to go about it. Following the advice of one member rather than the moderators is probaly not a wise way to proceed.

5. Crusty was less than cordial in the 2nd thread.

All that aside...I am asking now how I may discuss this subject without getting the thread closed.
Because this thread went bad am I now not permitted to discuss this topic in my own thread?

You need to treat other posters in OS with respect and stop acting like its P&N. I can pull up multiple attacks against forum members from you the last few days. I told you next time I would vacaion you. I suggest you re-read the feedback from the various forum members in the locked threads and the PFI threads. You were repeatidly shown how you were insulting others, and it hasnt seem to sunk in yet.

It seems like he's angry to begin with over the fact that you locked his thread.

I'm personally appalled that a thread created out of kindness to help other members has been locked a multitude of times.

If you consider this a mod "callout", feel free to vacation and or ban me (it's on your conscience).

Your title says your methods make Windows faster. Yet you provide no proof.

 

[waggy]

hahahahah this guy cracks me up.

 

[Baked]

Partitioning HD is... stupid. If you're afraid of system corruption, use Acronis True Image to make a DVD clone of the OS, or clone it w/ a spare HD. Every time I see people suggest partitioning their HD just to install the OS, I just shake my head.

This is at least a part of my question for MOD.

Is it a requirement to post benchmarks in order to share my personal experience??

 

[Gillbot]

If you are trying to show that your method makes an improvement and other people question it, I would say yes but i'm not the overruling authority here.

I am merely attempting to show what is the most effective method I have ever used. This after 15 years of building systems.
Again I make no exclamations other than what is my personal experience.

 

[Dumac]

Hrm, this is a troubling issue. People offer advice all the time, and usually other posters require evidence. Is personal experience enough evidence to warrant an advice thread?

The outcome will change how I view AT.

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.

but when you have people with far more experiance and education then the op saying that it does not work and he insults them over it. yeah having proof would really help.

if you are going to say that x helps then yeah you should prove it. if not then don't get offended and insult people when they don't beleive you.
