This has to stop.
This has started to happen more in SG lately and it is annoying as fuck. Now, I'm not really one to suggest harsh censorship or thread locking/moving but something has to be done. It's not hard to put effort into your posts. Examples with say W&C being the forum in question:
Good subjects for new posts look like this:
What are the most compact 16oz boxing gloves?
How tall are the split seams on <insert brand>?
Bad subjects for new posts look like this:
boxing gloves
question about shorts
hey, help me out!
Once you've chosen the subject for you post, make sure you give us all the details people need to help you out or in the case of SG actually make decent discussion. Let's say you want to know what size gear to get and you've looked everywhere for a size chart, but you can't find one (by everywhere I mean on the manufacturers site, on the sites of people that sell it, google) so you've chosen a subject like, “Help me figure out the right size <brand name> <product name>.” Within the post give us the pertinent information, in this case, measure your head. So the post should look something like:
My head is 7391” around. Can anyone help me figure out what size I need?
It shouldn't look like this:
My head is about average I guess.
You should give us all the information we need to answer you in your very first post. Same with SG - put a little effort into your discussion. It's not hard and frankly it's getting fucking tiresome. It's a discussion board but it seems more people are concerned with thumbing their ass and hoping everyone else will post something of interest.
