Suggestion - USE THE SEARCH BAR NEWBIES!

[3rdparty 229]

Technically it is a suggestion.

Although there are several threads venting the same frustration and sentiment so i guess I am a hypocrite.

There is no such thing as an original idea, certainly not anymore. Please use the search bar, I used to love coming on this section. Now I feel like a bitter old man.

Advice for searching!

Expand your attention span! Please read BEFORE posting

Dont just type in one word related to the content, try several different ones. Go through a couple of pages. Why not skip right to the last page? Find one with more then a couple of pages and read through it, pick up other words from it to search for.

Dont try and justify through your personal narrative that youve tweaked an idea so ergo a new thread needs to be created. Ive seen lots of good contributors feel impotent and eventually leave because of this. Myself included.

Theres not enough staff to police this thing, so can we all indulge in a lil self regulation please? If we did then admins WOULD be able to police this thing better.

PS This isnt intended as a bollocking, I was new and naive here once, it just there was once a Rocket Vanguard who patrolled this forum with a worryingly disturbing loyalty. They are now gone. And all thats left is a complete cluster fuck.

PPS If this thread is a candidate for the graveyard, Im sorry for wasting your time admins. Lots of love!

PPPS Seeing as bumps are not good either, if you post on this thread, why not post your searching tips? Or how you actually use this section of the forum.

Frustration succesfully vented.

I'm sure I should be moving this or something but I think I'll leave it right here. I'll probably have to warn myself next week for bumping it everyday too.

dunno how much this topic will resonate in this section :( It is logical for it to be here, but ive noticed alot of posters lack logic in the first place

tbh ive held this infor a while, just looked at the first page suggestion and died a little inside.. :(

(this wasnt a sneaky bump)

Back on topic:

PLEASE SEARCH BEFORE CREATING THREADS!!!

[Zeppa 562]

Everyone bump this thread with all costs!

[3rdparty 229]

OOo musta tripped over a bump or something to find myself back in this forum....

[3rdparty 229]

Helo new posters, im selling £10 bags of creativity? Anyone fancy a bump?

[indominator 95]

spawns could use something of this....

[mr_chabowski@live.co.uk 2416]

Have a good suggestion? Before you post it PLEASE USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION at the top of the page to make sure it's original. If there are already threads about the same suggestion please contribute there instead of starting a new one.

Couldn't resist. ^_^

_{(This is not a bump, simply a contribution for the good of the community)}

Shouldn't this be stickied or something?

[3rdparty 229]

musta gone over a bump or something!

marvin = new posters

ED: correction, John Travolta is more accurately representing the new posters.

Itd be cool if there was an admin/dev pinned thread purely for item suggestions, or for weapon suggestions. That would cut out a decent chunk of needless repetition. Although tbh peeps are still posting standalone threads even though there is one pinned :( meh.

to be fair occasionally the search bar doesn't seem to work, having said that I think this thread should be pinned

beans to you

Unfortunately those who need to see this will never bother reading it and will just post about how the AS50 and L85 AWS need to be removed.

Or that DayZ needs single player. Have you guys ever thought about camo netting for vehicles? I've never seen that one yet.

[Fraggle (DayZ) 15720]

Still relevant.

*cough* looks like someone's after a position on the team.

[Fraggle (DayZ) 15720]

*cough* Looks like OP is as sick as everyone else of repetative threads...

Is there a cough going round?

*cough* looks like someone failed with his topic and had to come up with something here.

edit: So that makes you double fail... dont make the third strike, that would just be awkward..

I never really believed in the search bar. To test, I typed in "medical" in the bar. I knew of a long thread about nothing but medicine, but the first result was requesting a single player campaign. The search bar doesn't work, which is why I don't bother using it.

1) Due in large part because people don't use tags

2) You should search more than one word when searching. Not everyone uses the same wording to reference things. I wouldn't say the search is broken, it's just not all that competent. Try searching "medical system"

[Derpy_Hooves (DayZ) 4521]

Good work OP, probably one of the best suggestions out there!!!

Seriously guys do use the search bar.... it will save your posts from becoming part of the mass burial in the "Graveyard"

[Zeppa 562]

And the there is more settings in the advanced search.

Search in titles, in content...

But then again this could be too "advanced" for some people :D
