Questions On The Pinball Arcade's Facebook Wall Already Answered Here

[PiN WiZ]

It seems that everytime I check TPA's Facebook wall, there's always someone asking a question that's already been answered here on the forum. I don't understand why people still insist on asking questions on Facebook (only to have their question buried in a matter of hours) instead of just joining us here at the forums and actually finding the answers to their questions. TPA's Facebook wall should be left to focus on official announcements by FarSight and not cluttered with questions and requests IMO. This was the main reason Gord set up this forum, to have organized communication between fans and FarSight employees. The sooner everyone figures this out, the more we can accomplish as a whole.

Well, most folks don't know about the forum probably. Weren't there only 2 messages posted about it on Facebook (which then of course disappeared as more people asked when it was coming out on 360 & PS3)?

One thing we can do is answer their question by saying, "This has ben answered here: (insert link to thread from this forum)".

Yes, that's a great idea! I'm sure some of the regulars here could take care of this cross-referencing and it might make the numbers grow over here even more...

I posted the link a few times in comments and will continue to do so. Hopefully Farsight will put up a permanent link soon.

It might be a good idea if someone creates a FAQ, this will free up a lot of space with questions in the forum if more people register. I would do it myself but can't find the time at present to do much.

They would still ask. People are still asking stupid questions about when it will be released for android and iOS or if they will put theater of magic out as dlc.

Unfortunately there is always the influx of new forum members that sign up and bring their entire Facebook attitude like "Tori" above. I am sure that she isn't the only negative new person we will have to deal with now that the "vote on Classic Stern" movement is underway. Hopefully we get mostly people with meaningful contributions to the discussions.

There are far more new members that are fun to have around than negative ones.

Very good to hear. I tend not to pay attention to post counts except for trolls. When they have less than 10 posts and at least 7 of them are off-topic/ultra-negative without any facts to back them up, you know what they are up to.

Holy thread bump.

The best thing you can do is report the post and let one of us deal with the poster.

I won't touch Facebook with a ten foot poll. I am so happy for this fantastic for forum. It is my electronic social media site and it's about one of my favorite things, pinball. I want to thank Gord, PinWiz and Jeff for keeping this forum a fun and friendly place for us pinball lovers.

 

[George Klepacz]

I wish we could like individual posts here like on Pinside. Such as the one above mine.

Welcome to the forum Tori. Would you mind elaborating on what you find less reliable about this forum? We're always open to feedback from our forum members that could aid us in making further improvements to the forum.

Several members of the development team post here regularly and share information that they don't reveal on facebook.
