No one on the thread is missing the point, you are. You are the only one I think, that has been posting this and arguing with people trying to get help, what is wrong with that.

How can I miss the point, when I made the point? You may understand what I have to say, but I garuntee someone else will come in here flaming me for telling people not to ask for help. It's a known fact that 75% of the people who attend this board will not read anymore than the last five posts of a thread.

With such a spammful tendency as so many acmlmers have, it's no wonder no one has the patience to read through posts. What a fatal mistake to take away posting speed so... fatally!

Honestly, I noticed that in my own thread, Setzer. Fucking got a hint as clear as day and all you see is "oh ones!"

I think his point is more how it appears. I'm sure he knows what we all mean, but he's saying it looks bad. I actually kind of agree -- I'm still baffled as to why this got stickied.

xZeaLitYx seems to have the biggest objection with this thread... but ironically he was the first to reply with a "this thread rocks" pic. Go figure.


Sarcasm. I mean...look at that guy in the pic. He's hilarious!

Yes, my main complaint is the appearance. The thread title itself is telling newbies to fuck off and go make their own hack; you can't fit in something specific as "Don't blindly post requests for hacks; check out utilities & documentation, or ask if anyone else is currently rom hacking a game." The title seems to attack the very concept of asking for help period. It's also staggeringly crude, and this reflects badly on the whole community.

"Help me" =/= "Do it for me".

I'm a blithering idiot and I know that much . And I think "your own damned self", just sounds better. I think this board is already kind of intimidating, then again, something subtle won't get this obviously key point to n00bs.

My humble suggestion is a page once you press the "new thread" button in the romhacking section that says:

"Are you going to make a request for someone to do a romhack for you?? If yes, you will be IP banned and BURNED ALIVE.
Is this a request for someone to do a romhack for you?

Will go to: (http://board.acmlm.org/index.php?ipbanned=1)
Will go to: (http://board.acmlm.org/newthread.php?id=x)
Will go to: (http://board.acmlm.org/index.php)"

Maybe they'll read something at least THIS intrusive and short.

(sorry, the buttons don't work )

Edits:
#1-Added the buttons
#2- Weird spelling error O_o
