yes~ I was new and looking @ this ipad forum and almost every thread I clicked in was closed and "Kindly use the existing thread for your queries:" WTH man~

Go open one now. What are you waiting for? They give you green light to do do already.

if really want to do that, why don't just start ipad THREAD v1, v2, v3 under apple, and post there restriction for new thread

Not to say stupid la...actually juz wan to show up my opinion here, well, it is good to merge the relevent post together so that it will looks not messy...but then...this thread is getting less and less topic edy...so what is the point to open up a new ipad session?

In my opinion, they should lower down their restrictions so that more threads of different categories can be posted. And I mean not just related a little then merged together as one. Even though it looks "clean", but its not as comfortable as it seems. Imagine if everyone is asking different thing in one thread, then another answered and punches up the another question back the page. When will their question been answered?

I never come to this subforum before but I saw that this argument just keeps on going and going. Just my 2 cents.

kinda agree. Why dont all the thread merge under Ipad discussion? then search a specific info would be headache..and then what? ask uncle google? if ask google, there is no need to open ipad subforum.

Best way = less restriction.

Why? If there are moderating decisions that you disagree with, you can always open a thread in Feedback Desk or PM one of the admins. That has always been the case.

With regards to this matter, majority rules.

Then why u guys don't delete all The deleted thread ?? Look messy

If want to consolidate all discussion/inquiry into single thread, implement a tag system for each post. Either it's a CHAT or INQUIRY/ANSWER post. Easier to filter and search.

Search function search function SEARCH FUNCTION.
heck i know of its existence. But really, LYN's search function is not the best engine around. Especially to search within a thread.

I'd just wanna know, everytime someone asks a question, is only stringfellow the only thing that CAN provide answer? Because he seems very tired of it. Wouldn't there be other ppl to help answering as well?

becos i'm one of the 'omg why my iphone only one side speaker got sound? T^T' but now that i know that's how it works, i'd chip in my part to help with others having this question too.

i dunno, but, isn't that how a community suppose to work? u take some and u give some?

previously i was actively helping in Hardware, OC, Symbian and Audiophile section but then too much shit thrown around and amount of newbies increased.

so i left ¯\(°_o)/¯

What's so bad about having more than 1 threads re: the same topic? The beauty of the search function is that it can search more than 1 threads...

I think the most important aspect of a new thread have to justify its value of being a whole new topic altogether, instead of mushing in the existing forum,

Sir RBR,
some senior members always like to report our thread as shown above and most of the time agreed by mod (as above, stringfellow claims mod always agreed with him) resulting our thread being closed or locked. david & gary has been closing/locking too many topics leaving us with no choice but to google for anwser. merging everything into 1 dicussion thread does not serve it's purpose as there are far too many conversational posting. try not to be so restrictive as some thread may be useful. many times when i seach for answer, thread that came out were already closed by mod without solution. i have been active in property and stock exchange forum and i dont see that many closed topic. many of the older thread are still active until today.

ps: i am glad that this thread is not closed. i thought it has an offensive title. nvm

sumtimes mod closes the thread by puttin the solution eg. refer to specific pinned thread with answers. now dats good. but u if u were to close it with just a simple "thread closed. pls refer to pinned thread" without any actual solution, dats very ineffective. being too rigid or too flexible aint good. the best is to let the forum grow. if sumwhere along the line it turns to /k/, den mod can start deleting. at d moment, a lil bit of chatter is not offensive rite

ipek itself is already stupid, and u expect the forum is not going to be be stupid ?

Am a newbie to Ipad.
Tried searching for some answers the other day.
Noticed most of the threads are closed or locked.
I agree, we need moderation. Repetitive thread should be locked.
But no point lumping everything into a single thread. Hard to pinpoint and discuss specific problem.

i hope u dun post spam. the reason d mods are bcumin strict is due to post like dis. wat i meant by chat is informational chatter. sumtin positive or interestin bout the ipad/apps. we can even talk bout our experience usin the ipad. but blindly posting /k/ style chat is not useful. if we do our part, the mods will do theirs

Well said. I feel the mod can relax some of the restriction.

i like your answer but cant believe this kopitiam answer come out from a senior member here.
