If you are going to moderate, then please remove the Moorea insult post from the hardware forum

Why remove other posts and not this piece of crap?

Or is there a good reason?

The thread is useful.....why should he get flamed for it?

Easy to prove; go to Darlen and look at your HDD light. Light off in someplace where there are no people (look at wall) FPS is high. Turn and look at people HHD light starts blinking big time and FPS is low. See for yourself.

I don't know how to say that in a way that won't be perceived as inflammatory but I think it's a diservice to newbies not to :

There should really be a disclaimer on all/most sam's post "I have no idea what I'm talking about but I'll pretend I'm an expert anyway - I will assert as fact what is just my typically ill informed guess"

Have you ever been to dalaran Sam ? So why are you advising people about solving dalaran lag, possibly spending hundreds on "solutions" ?

Next you'll be advising people on how to best boost/level... oh wait you did already...

That thread is a good read, and even if he was kinda negative focusing only on one persons post, the argument over the original topic is still valid and worth reading so people can come to their own conclusions or at least get inspired to do their own testing.

The point is that as soon as the OP starts anything of value the same kids jump on him......they do it because he doesn't conform to their idea of 'normal'.....

Very unpleasent indeed.......

I don't think the post quoted adds anything at all......nobody is going to go for the proposed solution without a knowledge and research. (If this is wrong, then please find me the person)

I didn't remove Moorea's post because I do believe people should have a bit of warning before heeding any of Sam's advice.

Good grief!!!!

Some people here have a bias against Sam from previous experiences with him / what hes posted here.

That being said... I didn't see anything wrong with the response you linked.

Oh! Really?

Of course this sort of comment in an interesting, proactive, non-flaming thread is fine.....I must have been mistaken.

Sam knows a hell of a lot more than the kid posting thats for sure

All is fine then.....

I do feel that Sam's posts gets shot down or an unneeded red flag quite often on this forum almost to the point that it feels like discrimination. I don't care for the guy myself but to me thats almost worst than a ban.

[Chranny]

Personally I added him to my ignore list so I really couldn't care less for what he has to say. But I do have one question though for the OP; Why make a thread about this and not just PM on of the Admins? Or is there a reason why you need this to be in public?

[ThisIsDrakul]

The thread was moderated........

What is left now is not representative of the posts...

I am glad that the mods response is public.
