    I don't want to see these forums turn into the cesspool that beta forums were; please people, if you don't have anything nice to say, please don't say anything at all.
    Yes, he wasn't demanding it. However... like many other topics, it has been beaten to death repeatedly. Outside of that, someone else replied and started up with his reasonings to have it, so others responded with the opposition.

    Lastly, the line "If you don't have anything nice to say..." would restrict people. Mainly because what one person considers nice or not, is not the same for everyone. So one person could simply say it's not nice, you shouldn't have said that. Even if the person had no hostile intent whatsoever.

    Sorry Ispano, my comment wasn't directed at you, more toward the community as a whole.

    When I say "If you can't say something nice. . ." Yes, someone could easily take offense to some of the stuff that's read but my aim was all the vitriolic postings that are written up in these forums, and not limited to this thread alone.

    There's a difference between saying "No, I don't believe someone should have this because. . ." and "OMG you entitled n00b u shud just buy the gaem! lol"

    If people spent less time being snarky and more time helping eachother out, we'd get a lot further. In another thread earlier today, it took nearly 2 pages for the OP to get the answer he was looking for, the first posts revolved around "OMG ur lazy" "Why don't you learn to read?" etc. It would have taken less time for them to type the answer to his question than it would have for them to think of something venomous to say and then write that.

    This is what I'm getting at when I wish the community would think a little before they post. I wish people would just answer the OP's question or give a non-vitriolic and well thought out answer to things instead of spewing hate. It makes us look bad as a whole when people resort to that kind of thing.

    Act in such a way that you treat humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of another, always at the same time as an end and never simply as a means

    Well ideally with the post limit people will be less likely to waste posts being snarky. However, people will be less likely to give answers to what they perceive to be stupid questions.
