    and I am 100 percent behind people creating good, descriptive thread titles. read my thead. but, some people are still too lazy to look first.

    right now we have something like 5 magpul threads going on. why? it would be alot easier to discuss it in 1 thread.

    Just based on my observations, it's usually the guys with very low post counts that are "guilty" of reposts, but maybe I'm wrong. That's what I meant by "new guys." Based on your poll and this thread, it looks like reposts aren't as important to most of us like they are to you.

    Great job titling this thread, BTW

    While that's normally nice. You may have missed an important piece of update to the topic because there are multiple threads on the same damn thing. As we are facing many anti gun bills, we need to be more cohesive. I think the main issue is the most don't take the TITLE too seriously when he/she creates a thread. TITLE it properly, and we will eliminate most of the reposts here. Title is the SUBJECT matter..not the beginning of the first sentence of your post.

    I've certainly missed some stuff because it's spread out everywhere it seems. But, I'm new to the board NOT to gun ownership.

    You've got a ton of threads in a multitude of sub sections, it's going to be really hard to micro manage how a member searches, or phrases his new thread. Obviously one should look around before starting a new thread, but most folks are now now now and me me me.....it's human nature. Reposts are going to happen at a site of this size dealing with a very hot topic in society right now.

    Maybe shit will chill out after some time goes by.

    naw... mp.net arfcom along with other pioneer forums still have the same issue. Once awhile some members get slapped on the wrist..but it's all up to the mods to keep up. Our mods are very responsive compare to some other sites out there. Wtg mod /brown nose.com

    You could also make this a private board and screen the members first. Apply to the board and follow strict guidelines, or you're out.

    You could revoke the ability to start threads without approval first.

    No, it's just that I run a few boards myself, but they're not open to the public....and nowhere near this busy. Just throwing out ideas.

    Hell.....if I was Obama, I would be sending checks to everyone and forcing them to join this board....after I changed it from AR's to "Sex toys for same sex Couples" or something just as retarded as that.
