> > > I've rarely seen vicious responses to anything in BGG, and on the occasions that I have, that poster has usually been jumped on in turn. You're likely to get a comment like "Holy thread resurrection, Batman" or the like but nothing much worse than that. And you are still likely to get a reasonable response to whatever you were asking.
One exception to that - if someone (especially a new user) responds to an old thread with anything that might remotely appear to be an advertisement (eg a link to a different site), that will get a bad response, and possibly get flagged as spam and if it's a new user they may be banned. A *relevant* link posted in a current thread is less likely to garner that response (unless it's a new user that is doing nothing but promoting another site). As for the searching first,if you make a reasonable attempt and can't find it, then say so in your post and you'll usually get a reasonable response (although the response may only be a link to another thread if it has already been answered). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BGG Down" group.
