Locking bonk threads doesn't make it go away.

Why fix it when they can ignore it and hope the entire population of the forums leave?

This site is broken.

THIS HAS TO BE GREAT FOR REVENUE, EH?

I'm starting to think that's genuinely their plan. Rather than fix whatever is actually wrong, just drive away enough users that the BONK thing becomes manageable.

My main issue with this, is that every thread talking about any error or glitch gets locked. Without even a closing post. Or explanation. Just locked. F*ck you shut up. We run this site. Not you. You will post either way. Bow, bow.MrPraline

[QUOTE="Pirate700"]You do know that every time you reload the page after a bonk/oops, you are reposting the same message again, right?

Yup. Can't think of another site/service that has ever been this uncommunicative about such a widespread technical issue. Not even a condescending, boilerplate "we're experiencing technical difficulties and should have things fixed shortly".

Fvck, the (spoiler) thingy won't workKevlar101

Isn't there a board dedicated to technical issues?

The threads are probably being locked for being in the wrong section.

bonk is extremely annoying.

what i do though, is just hit submit when i type my message, then hit backspace twice(ie, go back two pages) and my post is there.

EDIT- when i get to the bonk page, thats when i go back two pages.

advice to people

when the bonk! appears just go to the address bar and just re-enter gamespot and your post will still be there without having a load of spam messages

What I like is that 1 time they say they are fixing it, and because it was not fixed in 45 seconds 45 threads were made claiming the adminsitration is bogus for no reason at all. Really now? I just click on fuse first before going on the forums and never get a bonk message as a result. just click on that once a day you login and wait until the frequency goes down. I don't think it's necessary for the Admins or the voluntary mods to answer to 55 threads calling them stupid that were all made 45 seconds after they stated they are addressing the problem/. With new threads being made everyday, it's like a cyber-riot but with a bunch of impatient kindergarden children.StatusShuffle

I agree.
