    Default Why repeat an answer?

    I've been seeing alot of forumers pretty much saying the same answer as the person above them when someone asks a question...There really is no need to answer the question again unless there is something you can add that the first answer didn't cover...Anyone else been noticing this too? Or is it just me?

    It's just because they didn't read the other peoples' replies. That's all.

    They're just trying to get the goa title. That's my guess.

    That, or they didn't see the above posts (or didn't want to.)

    Or they're just trying to be helpful?

    As said before, they may not have read the post above. That, or they answer with the same answer and add some detail

    Yeah funniest example is
    email support(at)spacetimestudios.com replacing (at) with @

    And then second guy says:

    ^ what he said, email support replacing (at) with @

    And then third guy goes:

    ^ what he said, email support, such issues are not discussed on forums.

    Bahahahaha
    It was fun while it lasted.

    I sometimes make shuch sort of reply because, when I go to forums with computer, I hit what's new button and open to new tab all interesting threads. Then I read and possibl reply thread by thread and sometimes if there is empty thread, someone else been answered it since I opened it. :]

    Yeah, why can't they just be trying to be helpful? Even if someone posted an answer before you, you may be able to explain it in a different way or confirm what the last person was saying. Personally, when I post a thread asking for opinions or help, I appreciate when multiple people reply, whether it says the same thing but written differently or not. I think it's helpful.

    my most commonly repeated answers:

    • kiting is not noobish, running is
    • not taking sides, just stating the points of both sides
    • i hate rushers
    • 6 rage 2 stomp 1 sms

    you can figure out the questions. but I don't do this for any GoA title, they're just commonly asked questions

    Also, @ myst, you shouldn't have to "try" to be helpful, it should come naturally.
