Search Function. Im Laying Down the Law!
Alright ladies you know that I love you but enough is enough.
I'm sure that a few of you have already begun to notice a pattern beginning with my replies to new threads...
SEARCH. FUNCTION.
Especially for the newer models coming in, if I see people asking questions that I KNOW have been answered ad nauseum I will tell you to use the search function. I know you're new. I know you're excited. But camming means doing some of your own legwork. And for the more experienced ladies here, you should all just know better by now. I know that I am not the only one annoyed with seeing 7 different new threads ALL asking the same questions on page ONE of Camming Connection.
It's time to put on your big girl Wonder Woman pantaroos and learn how to do a little research for yourselves.
So if I see any more brand new threads on...
What are the best sites to work on?
What is better AW or SM?
How do you get guys to tip on MFC?
Etc, etc. I will walk up and slap a "SEARCH FUNCTION" stamp on it. And if you still have questions, try to resurrect an old thread that is on the same topic. (i.e. one of the multiple MASSIVE MFC threads). Our lovely forum is turning into a bunch of regurgitated jibberish so let's try to show it a little love ok?
Thank you.
Aria out.

*cracks whip* lol!
I thought you were going to go the Chris Rock route, I will walk up and slap the search function out of you!:wife: Lol!
:thanx: Aria for laying the law down. I honestly saw no point in asking redundant questions and having 30 threads with the same answers. I have been on here since June and have not started a new thread yet. Why?
- If I start a thread it's going to be a topic that hasn't been discussed or hasn't really been addressed
- When I have a question about something, I can 99.5% usually find the answer in the millions of threads on here. (Just use the search function)
- I love to read, I know if I find the answers myself, it will stick vs. someone giving me the answers and I have to come back for more
It is just annoying :banghead: to read the same things over and over again, everybody was new at some point, or didn't know an answer. Yes a forum is here for support but there is a difference between support and abuse. You can't expect people to catch the worm, chewing it up, and spit it into your mouth:smellie_c . It's time to fly own your own little birdies, Aria is kicking your ass out the nest lol! Either fly or fall!

Re: Search Function. Im Laying Down the Law!
Can this be made into a sticky? Please?

Re: Search Function. Im Laying Down the Law!
I had a whole thread about this Aria....and I got bitched out for it!!!
Thank you for doing this...I get sick of seeing the same thing over and over...
Hope my thread helps as well.

Oh i missed this so much :)

Re: Search Function. Im Laying Down the Law!
bump...
should this be a sticky? It's already getting lost in the shuffle.

Re: Search Function. Im Laying Down the Law!
I will sticky it.
Nice to see so many of you on board for this. Kisses!

Re: Search Function. Im Laying Down the Law!
It's hard for me not to post answers to questions because I do like to be helpful, but yeah it's cluttering up the board. Maybe we should just link to this post when newbies ask stuff that has already been answered 100 times? Ask them to search first and then if they don't find the answer or have more questions then they can post an additional question in their same thread.

Re: Search Function. Im Laying Down the Law!
That works for me. I just really want to see people start putting in a little bit more effort first.

Re: Search Function. Im Laying Down the Law!
...for my first week on the board, I was actually using google search: whatiwanttoknow+stripperweb before spotting the search link. I was such a grasshopper -.-

Re: Search Function. Im Laying Down the Law!
^ sometimes this actually works better.

Re: Search Function. Im Laying Down the Law!
i know that when i look for stuff on a topic i want to know everything i can- especially when i first started camming. i'd rather search and try to find as much stuff as possible- i guess i kindof go fanatical but you probably know what i mean :) it's all there- just look! thanks aria xo

Re: Search Function. Im Laying Down the Law!
THANKS. Now, can the new peeps read? AHH b ahhhhhh just kidding. I have been away for a few months, and i have never seen so many questions that have clear answers by simply searching. Search is YOUR friend, use it till it breaks! When I was new, i took a few months reading as many posts to figure out what was best for me. If you still have a question after reading all you can via your search, tell us what you have found, and what you are missing, it will get you a much better response. Welcome new folks.

Re: Search Function. Im Laying Down the Law!
This is great! you crack that whip girl ;) I think it would help to if a topic is posted that everyone stay on topic. I think some girls might find a thread and read a couple pages then see that it veers off onto completely different topics or arguments between people and might stop reading it lol

Re: Search Function. Im Laying Down the Law!
God Bless you Aria!!! I was about to give up clicking on camming connection!

Re: Search Function. Im Laying Down the Law!

Not to mention that it is actually helpful for old topics to be resurrected in new threads. When threads get derailed or too long it is much better to start a new thread on a similar topic than to keep resurrected that thread.
I agree with the bolded part. It's hard for Newbies who can't decipher the abbreviations at first - and you can't search for them. But there is so much unneeded repetition in this section (well, every section, but CC especially). Is there a sticky at the top of CC that explains all the short hand girls are using?

Re: Search Function. Im Laying Down the Law!
I am incredibly chill thank you. All I have asked is for people to make sure they use the search function to try to find the answers they need first, and then if they don't find what they are looking for to post a new thread. This request came about because there were FOUR threads on page one ALL asking the exact same questions when a simple search would have answered it easily enough.
While it is hard to search for MFC you CAN Search for MyFreeCams. If we need to update the Starting Place for Camgirls to make sure that the abbreviations are explained that can be easily done.
I really do not appreciate the way that you have attacked me in this thread. It was quite needless.

Chicka, I <3 you, but simmer down there strippah.

Re: Search Function. Im Laying Down the Law!
I don't think Aria is being harsh or unwelcoming at all. She is one of the most friendly and approachable people I've met on here and is doing a great job as a moderator with trying to keep threads focused and the forum from getting too much "clutter" on it. I think you're going to be great as a moderator Aria and if a few new girls get intimidated to ask a question on here after reading your post it's not the end of the world.:)

Re: Search Function. Im Laying Down the Law!
