I have post a few thread on Ipad and some mod keep merging my thread to one "apple ipad discussion thread" Last night i post a topic on Ipad cannot use TM hostpot to access internet and this morning i realise it has been merge with "apple ipad discussion thread". So I have to browse thru many pages before I see my post and look for any reply or help. This is absolutlely stupid!!!

Why lump everything together in a huge thread where its impossible to search for specific info?


Admin edit: I have specifically allowed this thread. Please do not close [RBR]

i agree...

i agree

That's the way it works here. If you're used to how it works in your previous Console Couch thread, don't expect the same mentality here. Here unnecessary threads are consolidated into one, and in your case, it is more of a single post importance than warranting a new thread.

Thread reported.

You're right. I started an iPad 2 speculation thread and it got bunched up with that thread, too. Might as well take the whole apple byte section n bunch them up.

Yeah, i think its really stupid too, especially when you those mod-wannabe show-off guy here in this forum. thread reported here thread reported there.

Because it is only a conversational thread, and not discussional, hence not requiring its own separate thread? The iPad Discussion thread encompasses all of these, and unless these contents are big enough to discuss, they get consolidated. Also, you said it yourself, it is speculation, and from history o how forum members here deal with speculations, they tend to either drive the expectation level to ridiculous heights or end up arguing with one another, all over "a speculation".

It this how things work and we should not work top improve it, but simply accept it?

If this is how things work here, then all I can say is that lyn ipad forum really sucks...its so backward!!

Even my wardrobe is separated with drawers and compartments where I put my socks, underwear, t-shirts etc separately where i can get them instantly.

Try searching for a ipad topic and all you get is "apple Ipad discussion thread V1, V2, V2 and in between there are a couple hundred of pages. What year is this anyway?

Thanks, I've just reported you. What did you contribute to the forum today?

If U cant Beat Them Join Them...

Dude, it's how it's done here. You don't see me messing about how Console Couch is moderated, or how Kopitiam are handled, even if it annoys me to no end.

lowyat.net isn't specifically an iPad/iPantyliner forum. live with it.

See what you've done? You put in feces, you attract the flies. You put in non-discussional flamebaiting threads and post like these, you attract the trolls.

How convenient to say that. Why even have a ipad discussion thread? Its not going anyway.

Added on November 30, 2010, 2:54 pmDude. If things can be improved, why not? Instead of showing your "tailou" attitude here "it's how it's done here". It so sad too see we malaysian ipad owner have to live with such a "closed" minded mod in the best tech website for malaysian.

agree...and support your intelligent
They expect us to read every page in the thread... Luckily moderator in other section have more intelligent which allows a sub section & freedom discussion

hmmm... wonder whether the moderator is a kids in this forum
be careful of moderator C4 / ISA...

Wait a sec, is he a mod in the 1st place? LOL.

So what if I did not contribute? I dont usually post much. I, just like others in this forum just cant stand your 'cocky' sort-of attitude.

My advise to you is to shut up and let the mod do their job, not posting just to get post count. Geez.

A true moderator would think hard behind the potential outcome of a discussion albeit speculation or material. Also, a true moderator would report abuse ONLY when a thread poses a potential threat, NOT under the excuse that it would convolute a forum. The way you've done it here is unprofessional and one can obviously see that you're doing it for "respect". Yes, there are plenty of "flies", as you put it, contributing "nonsense", but that's the objective of a forum thread, for anyone to post their opinion on an issue. Of course, whether or not that opinion is "faeces", is left to the discretion of a moderator, and that's why proper thought is necessary and expected of one.

...i watch with interest on what happening at lowyat.net ...it seem that the control have been to strict..ppl go to lowyat.net to see what ever info they can get...remember lowyat.net become what it has become bcos of us..the user....probably u need to do a survey on what r u doin now before lowyat.net become tooo BORING and lame and we all shall moved to other site...thru out our live we have been control...now what we have left is...the freedom to express our opinion...n tats all we hav now..

You're new aren't you? You're not here when things were left open at one time and it evolves into arguments, flaming and such before when moderation was simple and relaxed. You relaxed the "whoever can post whatever thread" stance, you get the first page full of threads that are duplicates and people who wants to find info, have to search to multiple threads. Imagine you post your TM question thread, and another 10 more post the same question on 10 separate threads, which thread should anyone who have the same problem should refer to when he want to fix his problem? Search through 10 threads of similar content and hoping you find the right answer in one of those 10 threads? Or is it better to have it in one thread, and point the person who ask these questions to that one thread using the "Search" function.

I dont give a flying rat's ass whether you think I'm showing my "tailou" attitude here or not, from the Console Couch section you came, you shown your "attitude" there as well, and it ain't pretty. What, you grow tired of that section and want to change how things are done here?

no problems = no improvement. clearly there's a problem here, and i do agree with the tread starter.

that being said its not the moderator's fault either.. its a matter of balance. so now there's feedback that the balance is not up to mark..

forum has threads for a reason..don't have to lump it all up.
