Repost Battles.

[L.E.D]

So on this forum, because it is so user heavy and very active it isn't uncommon to have multiple posts about or related to the same topic. In which many people for some reason have an immediate ball of rage towards the person because they didn't know it was already reposted. To kindly spread your word, let them know it was reposted. Not just by "repost" and that is all. Find the topic. Link it. Then clearly state that it was reposted, and if the OP is kind enough, ask them to add the link in the original article. Until staff have a chance to deal with a repost, which hey, with how busy they are, that may not be taken down. This is how I think they should be taken care of. Not with raging angry people who aren't much help by saying "repost".

 

Take this as advice, or leave it. I'm just getting annoyed.

If you're talking about (or posting because of) the GTA V on PC posts, there have been so many that it's hard to link to the first. 

 

I do agree that it should be done politely though.

I just found this.

I think I will post this rather than bothering to link. I don't see why I have to bother to link when they can't be bothered to look.

I understand that, but its usually not that hard to find another one, which probably has already been a repost, just share the word.

 

@L.E.D

Indeed good sir. Agree with you completely.

 

Thank you.

Posting that and not providing the link to the post is exactly what I was saying we should try to avoid.
