Unfortunately those saying most are those with least to say.
+2 it's as I said somewhere in this thread, if we all just stuck to the topic, and maybe pointed members to an answer if Oleg answered the question, then everything would be fine Belittling members for asking questions is just not on (and least on the open forum). Clearly everything is fine as long as people stick to the topic in question.
I'm happy that Oleg has posted this. Hopefully if someone posts a seemingly silly, but relevent, question, members will PM them if they feel it rude or pointless rather than openly flame them; or allow Oleg to answer if he wishes which, at the end of the day, is the whole purpose of posing the question to him.

Maybe we need to set up a wiki style Oleg's answers page so it can all been seen in one place and then just add it to everybodies sigs

Thumbs up

There are plenty of ways to do things. A true FAQ or WIKI you would think would work.

It won't because there are always people that refuse to cooperate.
Those members always want the fresh answer, even if their question has been answered hundreds of times.

The update threads are a nuisance after the first couple days they always turn into something like this. Yet, Oleg often answers poster questions later in the week... so we let it run as a sticky thread until the next update.

If you don't like the tone of the thread... ignore the worthless words, and ask or make your own sensible postings. Oleg may answer those postings.

Nearmiss, I just think that people should not be allowed to openly say 'why are you posting this it's all crap' which pretty much sums up a few of the members on here. They could easily say this privately.

But stuff like:

"Hi Oleg, please tell me this and explain that, because the staus quo right now really looks like ****, I mean, even game xy from 1999 did that better."

should be ok.?

Not as a statement, you're right it's pointless, but if posed as a question and justified by pictures/videos/etc then why not? If it's directed at Oleg it's for him to answer; people don't need to act as his own advisors and try and answer the question for him, unless they can prove the post wrong with anyting Oleg has said or posted before
As long as everyone is calm and rational, and not rude and insulting, then things can run smoother. But yes, such posts can be rude if phrased that way. There are ways of saying things where one can be a lot more polite.

Look phil, it's not about the question itself - it's about the way many of them are are formulated, and that is often very offensive.
For all I care you can ask oleg if his trees are green - ok, go.

A (imho) no go is: Oleg your trees not only suck, but also I've seen waaaay more realistic models in Mario Bros for the c64 in '92.

Language barrier is not argument, you really dont need an advanced to formulate a question politely.
