Here is a Game....

[DigitalPackrat]

I have been to so many forums and seen so many threads with utter rubbish titles. So what is the game? I list four titles of threads and anyone tell me what it is about just by seeing it.

1. replyfast-c++
2. how do I?
3. Help on java
4. java game code

This was never meant to be a game. What I am trying to say here is can't people read the forum guidelines before posting. Do they think that words like "HELP", "URGENT" etc. make you rush to their threads; where more often then not they seem to not reply at all to helpful answers.

PS. The title was meant to be ironical.

No. They don't care, so why should they?

I usually slap them with http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html if they break too many rules in the same post.

Can't we do anything about it? Narue, you have been here for sometime I suppose, why so cynical?

Hope, they read a few of Eric's writings. This should be eye catchy to them. "How To Become A Hacker"

Nope, not without punishing everyone else in the process. I take solace in the fact that out of a thousand idio^H^H^H^Hcareless beginners, one or two truly promising people make it through.

Cynical and experienced are synonyms.

Well, thats a good point made. It shows you aren't truly as cynical as you say you are.
