Derailing of threads

TriedandTested · 23 Apr 2008 at 18:30

Yes, it's that time again folks. The usual bunch appear out of the woodwork once they have their grimy mitts on copy of a highly anticipated game - y'know, just so they can show how fortunate they are to have it so early. This month it's GTA4 and they've already set in motion the complete destruction of the GTA4 thread.

Nothing will be done of course. I mean, it's their 'friends' who have it early, their 'friends' that have completed it, and their 'friends' that'll be informing those that post here all about the game. They're just the middle man passing on the information, right?!

Will anything be done? Doubt it.

Do you mean here or by Microsoft? Because I know take 2 are actively getting torrents removed, which they ofcourse should be. I wouldnt be suprised that IP's are getting logged on those torrents too

I mean here. It's here where it causes threads to get closed.

What? It's there for a reason, use it.

Pirates talk about game, you report them, they get suspended/banned/posts removed, trouble is solved, everyone carries on.

Hell, the GTA4 thread wasn't worth reading anyway. Silly pre-game-release threads like that are just endless posts of people going "OOOOH I CAN'T WAIT :eek:

", and given their nature, just invite downloaders to spoil them. I want GTA4 tons, and I've steered well clear of that thread because I know how pointless it is.

Sorry mate, i thought you RTM'd this thread. Couldn't work out why.

Logsi · 23 Apr 2008 at 18:44

That GTA thread was just silly, i just couldnt understand why it went up at least 10 pages a day.

I have steered clear of any thread to do with the game as i don't want to know anything about the game. This way i'll get the most out of it!

If Zefan is working right, he will edit your post to say "Spam" - did mine and it was more relevant

Yeah probably. Harmless. I agree with the sentiments of the OP and do not wish to make light of what is a serious issue to a lot of GTA 4 fans.

Edit: Just checked the other thread you refer to and yeah everyone got marked as Spam apart from me. weird?

Should just replace the word "heroes" in the console section with "rp is a big woofter

"
