I remember saying things like that to my parents when I was 13... As we mature and grow as adults, we develop more of an openmindedness and understanding for many things, and to the credit of those who lack it now, they may yet learn it as time passes. |

That is okay, I'd prefer this not to turn into a squabble and it seems like the only direction you wish to take it. I can infer enough from the way I have seen you conduct yourself thus far.
I think it is good to get some perspective though from the members here who care to share and criticize. |

They are unwilling to research themselves - they want the answers given to them - the answers are readily available, but it takes some reading and parsing of information, ie TIME. Its the same selfishness in general population that leads to huge traffic problems because everyone decides "screw the other guy, my time is more important" and selfishly cuts intot he lane that they KNOW ends in half a mile, because by doing so they can get 4 car lengths ahead by forcing everyone who is behind them to wait while they cut back into the lane they were in. **** em. (note, this pervasive attitude of selfishness has pretty much permeated society as a whole, and can be seen in almost every situation, imo.) |

Guys please keep it civil or I will be forced to close this thread. I don't want to see this end up as some OCers forum moderators vs. Procooling pissing match. Headaches I dont need right now.
Remember JayDee the ocers forum community coddles those unwilling to search and read so that we don't have to. Think of it like that and it's not such a bad place

All newbs are not created equal. All newbs do not waste others time in order to save their own. If you arent willing to spend some time reading up on stuff, why should another person be willing to spend time giving you what is freely available for you to find, if you bothered to look? |

Is not "**** em" an overwhelmingly selfish, NTM pessimistic/defeatist, battle cry also? We all have our own perspectives though, and from what you said I can definetly understand how you take yours. Ultimately, trying to wrap the mindset of all the users who come here and post crap into one neat little package that explains everything is likely founded in folly.
I'm gonna go have a smoke, quick posting is a fine recipe for disaster, and this thread would do better I hope with a few less people posting and a few more people stopping to think. |

No, not really. It is selfish of THEM to think that I, or anyone else, "owes them" any extra time, merely because they think they are worth it. If you can't see the difference, then perhaps that is your problem... I don't think its selfish to tell someone "Your time is NOT worth more than mine" - which is what "**** em" is saying - "**** em" if they want me (or some other "expert") to spend extra time on them just because they are too lazy. The mere fact that you do not see this boggles my mind, and explains (imo) why you think the way you do. you seem to think that the time is "owed" to these newbs who are lazy - and i ask you, then, "WHY?" Because that is the only way "**** em" could be considered selfish. Did you even read and understand what i wrote, or did you focus in on my last statement, take it out of context, and attempt to imply a meaning that never existed to it? Because the latter appears to be the truth, or you'd have understood that the "em" is those who think thier time is worth more than someone else's, and that saying "**** em" is more saying "they are wrong". I suggest you follow your own advice from your last line next time, because the mere idea of having to post what i just did boggles my mind and makes me want to cry. |

Look bud, when you were in school someone handing you the answers to all the tests was called what? That's right, cheating. The people that cheated on those tests never knew anything about what the subject was about or they would have not needed to cheat in the first place. Sharing cheats is exactly what your suggesting is the right way to do things. Telling people the answer to a question and all they will know is the answer, they will not know the basis of what that answer represents. The basis is the real knowledge not the answer to the question. Making someone read the book (stickies, searching, ect) and "knowing" the answer is much more productive than telling someone the answer. Without making them read the book they will continue to plague you with more questions from the other chapters in the book because they never read the book. Make them read the book before you give them the answer and maybe you will not have to give them the answer and can concentrate on writing new books. Sorry IMOG, if I grew up I would have no reason to get on these forums in the first place. And as Speedy said, if the computer industry is not putting out anything new to make up more bull shit about then maybe it is time to clear up some of the previous bull shit being you now have time to....

He probably doesn't infinity, haha.
@althorian: Note that my last line in my last post was not directed at you my friend, it was a general observation as to the direction in which this thread was progressing as some in participation here are becoming aggravated. When I said I understand your perspective, I was not saying that I think anything negative about it, just that it was not the stance that I choose to take also. Aw, I think I now see where our true difference in perspectives lie. I don't participate because I think I owe anyone anything... I don't believe it is a prerequisite to owe someone in order to offer them something. Note that I'm not disagreeing with you, I just hold a different outlook. I recognize that I don't owe them anything, and their motivation for asking doesn't concern me... Engaging in the discussion with people, no matter where it begins, can often later develop into something productive and all sides can find something to gain from it. I'll admit that I'm also somewhat of a philosophy buff, so maybe I err to the side of being too openminded. Could be a character flaw of mine. @pH: If you end up closing this pH, I don't blame you at all, but I think this thread has offered something of value to those who have participated and I'm glad you left it live as long as you have. |

damn guys. Most of this needs to be taken out of public consumption and brought to PMs.
Frankly, I don't care how they moderate their forums. If I don't like it, I don't go play there. Simple enough. And my 2 cents on Jaydee's blahblah comment - its exactly what I was thinking when I got past the first 5 lines of that post - any why I skipped reading the rest. Heard it all before and he's said it all before. Jaydee might get a little rough on the edges but his points are valid (most of the time) and he's fun to read over a few beers.

Last 2 cents.
It would be nice to have better n00b guides, something indexed and easily searchable. For most people, its not only a new field of experience, its also a new set of terminology. Yeah, there are a few good stickies here and there, but most are technical enough that they require a faq for the uninitiated. Just a dream.... water cooling help for the masses. Gotta go back and finish up on the garage (rebuilding the walls.)

Jaydee I want to apologize for any PM I may have sent you telling you shape up your act or you would be banned. Keep in mind that would've been a three day 'cool' off ban. We as mods look at flames, the manner in which you posted is probably what found me on it. As many can attest to I am probably the most impartial moderator you will ever come across but my tolerance for flaming and general treating others like <insert verbage here> behaviour is very low, as you can see I have been a part of OC since early 2000 and a staff member not long thereafter. I've been through the ups and downs the droughts the abundance of times, it will always be there. We will continue to grow the site and the forums and still be one of the most definative references to overclocking in the world. The manner in which help newcomers by labelling them as 'lazy' and don't know how to search doesn't help, perhaps if they were shown as was suggested above, how to google or how to forum search it would help clear up alot of the BS that happens. How many times in my life do you think I have answered how do you do the pencil trick ? I can't even begin to count, do you think I ever posted do a search instead of helping them ? I may have referenced how to search AFTER I helped them to the best of my ability.
I have always respected procooling and Joe as well for what he has given in terms of extreme to this community. I am sorry if my posting comes across as trying to do anything more but clear up conceptions about the staff of Overclockers, that includes senior members as well because they are considered staff. I am always striving for ways to improve and to make things better, I apologize if my viewpoints and opinions offend anyone. J
