Honestly with all due respect you seem so unhappy with the mods here from multiple occasions including this one.
Why not take your exit since you cannot agree with the way they run things instead of confronting them each time?

Hi @PikaPika33 !

I have looked into your thread/post, which appears to have caused you some consternation.


A quick search at

using the YouTube's video ID (KRtyMCeDw8o) with the following parameters:

Keywords: KRtyMCeDw8o

Order by: select Date

would have returned thread(s) where the YouTube video was already shared.


An AI-powered research assistant confirms that:

The phrase “Check for existing thread instead of creating unnecessary duplicates” is not inherently rude or impolite, but depending on tone and context, it may come across as somewhat brusque or curt.

Here’s why:

• Directness: It’s very to-the-point, which some might appreciate, but others could perceive as abrupt.
• Word choice: Phrases like “unnecessary duplicates” may sound slightly scolding, as if the person acted carelessly.

In this instance, no "warning" was given regarding thread mergers or edits.


To avoid unintentionally offending anyone’s delicate forum sensibilities in future, the moderation team shall endeavour to use gentler and friendlier phrases such as:

“Please check if a thread already exists before starting a new one to avoid duplicates”

Please let us know if the phrasing and tone of this reminder meet with your approval? We hope you will be able to respond here before the thread is locked.


To other Users, please understand that fellow forum members may have had a bad day, or may simply be angry at the world (moderators and administrators!). Nonetheless, please do not chase them away from our forum boards. The diversity of personalities is what makes the HWZ forums so compelling to many.

Happy Teachers' Day to the educators out there, and have a lovely weekend, everyone!

helllo

thanks for the reply.

like many had feedback before, it is just not very viable to check and search in details every time you post something.

like many, the most you would do is rely on the suggestions pop up, and do a few keyword search, which i feel is reasonable enough.

if for some reason we really missed out, sure merge it. no reason not to.

but coming back and than see such a notification, like army csm scold you, for something out of your control is really too much.

thanks

Zen just posted a reminder. I do not see that as a scolding. Maybe your definition of scolding is diff from us or most people.

Anyway, since all are explained, i will close this. Thanks.
