Ok, this is a problem that has cropped up from time to time but now it's become rampart.

Members, please pay attention to what forum sections we have!

The Computer discussion section is not for discussing your hardware issues, nor bragging about your new hardware and whatnot. We have a specific section on this forum for hardware issues, and we have an Offtopic/About You, Me and Everything Inbetween section on this forum for other unrelated stuff. And don't ask us about "which one is faster, CPU x or CPU y" or questions alike as the net is filled with sites that covers detailed benchmarks that are far better suited to answer your questions. I am getting a sense that some members are becoming lazy and starts dumping whatever in the Computer section, and this is wrong. It puts extra work on the moderators needing to move topics all the time, work that could be better focused elsewhere. If I see members ignoring this and continues this bad trend of posting in the wrong sections then I will be forced to start handing out warnings, or simply delete topics without any warnings. I try to be understanding if a specific topic is hard to categorise but when I spend half of my time on BA moderating badly placed posts then my level of understanding is quickly depleted.

Please, familiarize yourself with the forum sections and post your topic where it's proper. And if you're unsure then use the Offtopic section. Also, don't post frivolous questions that can easily be answered by the first hit on Google or pointless random topics that has nothing to do with this forum.

There will be some changes soon to the forum sections that should make things more clear but until then take that extra second or two to check all sections before you start posting.

Thanks for your understanding.

Well you need to make your post where it's the most appropriate. Support questions in the support forums. Microsoft topics in the Microsoft forum. Game beta topics in the Game beta forums and so on. And if you're unsure either ask or post it in the Offtopic section and some moderator might be nice and move it to the proper forum for you.
