By playing more HDHR i didn't improved it.Shizuku profile page wrote:
I saw users in the dreaded "Gameplay & Rankings expecially when commenting on like "How can I do X thing" or something similar. Some users (not mentioning names, you know who you are) are commenting things like "play more" or "come back after you have x playcount". Here is the thing, playing more wouldn't help actually on any aspect. Why, because you are not actually improving when you play more. So users, you should help other users to find a way to solve their problems because we also underwent that way and we passed the wall. So, long story short, share your ways/ideas to help others to pass their walls.
By playing more AR7 HR i didn't learned how to read ar9.8 (and actualy achieved good acc fc with it).
By playing more AR8 HR i didn't learned how to read ar10 (and can keep up above 90% acc on it despite sliderbreaks on od8.4 / 9.8 cs5.2 / 6.5).
By playing more nomod i didn't improved ar8 and ar9.
By playing more my aim, acc and speed didn't improved that i am able play songs which was too hard like 2 weeks ago.
Biggest bullshit i have ever seen. That's why you are not a moderator.
@ontopic - actualy G&R contain usefull informations and open eyes to people who search magical ways to "level up" in this "most complicated mmorpg game ever made in history of games" (yes, that's sarcasm you dumb...). Since i like to gain knowladge, i found here a lot of technical informations about gameplay, mods, maps and other shit.
I do sound like I'm ranting there. But still, remember that's my opinion BASED on MY experience (and I'm not the best player here either). And that's your perspective of improving too. So, to avoid any more conflicts, Share your ideas! instead of attacking people.

i don't even know what to say other than that this is all kinds of wrong
Bro

(paste Azer voice) WTF DUDE
Are you for real?
YOU actualy state that player do not improve by playing more.
How you can ever say this kind of bs?
It's not attacking, it's just.... i cannot call this feeling but holy crap man, you just made me feel completly weird.
All my playing more was useless then, i can be a second index right now deducting from your statment. Just please... say it's a troll statment for crybabes and you just... eh idk.

lol
My idea - stop putting crap in newbies heads, let them play and improve. Anyways, it comes from someone who has barely 5k playcount... what do you actually know about improving ;xShizuku- wrote:

You see; THIS is exactly why this subforum is not useless. THIS is exactly why we need it. Because there are STILL people that believes this crap. And for as long as people will believe that, this subforum will be useful.Shizuku- wrote:

To get back on topic (I feel like the point of this post got lost somewhere), I lurked around this subforum for some weeks now and I feel like what we actually need is not to delete G&R (sometimes some cool points are made in the discussions) but to have some kind of moderation in it.
To further explain myself, if there were like 1 or 2 moderators that give a shot to the discussions and close the ones with an answer in the posts on top, and/or delete answers that don't provide any usefull point to the topic (or actually BAN some toxic people) this would get to be a pretty good place imo

It's not useless. If I could give advice to myself when I started playing I would probably be 3 digits by now.
Pray tell what advice that would be? I want to git git.B1rd wrote:

Eh without G&R the shitpost would just flow on other subforums, do you really want that ?

90% of the threads posted here are trash or redundant.I agree on redundant but only a very small margin is trash.
90% of the time, the answer to the above threads is "to get better at X, play more X".Isn't it good when the same question gets the same answer from different people at different times?
Aside from that you can't only blame the people who give the answer as most people who make new threads don't make the impression as if they'd have thought even a tiny bit about their problem. It should be common sense that you can get better at anything if you practice it - preferably in a smart and controlled way. ("gotta go slow" is very popular for that exact reason) In the end every way leads to Rome though.
A very significant number of threads are quickly taken over by shitposts.You're exaggerating. The topic might get derailed but the "shitposters" will oftentimes put on a serious discussion with the topic discussed having a comprehensable relation to the original one.
Most "gameplay discussion" (in terms of high quality scores) is done on the osu! subreddit, and not here.I dislike reddit because it isn't a forum. I like forums due to the linearity in threads. Reddit just screws over with that along with the snowballeffect of upvotes and rhetorical manipulation of the reader. That's why I'm not using it for any discussion. It's a bad medium for this kind of thing.
Almost every noob question answer / useful piece of information can already be found in the stickies (which often get overlooked), and this information could possibly be better placed inside the wiki.No and yes. The stickies give you a good start but people will find new questions based on what they read and the answers can't be found in the stickies.
If I had motivation or if I'd think that most people would read stickies I could write a guide of several pages right now with the knowledge I gained from reading lots of threads in G&R.
On a sidenote: I think you're biased in your observation of this forum cause the "shitposters" don't agree with a couple of your opinions and made fun of you regarding your CoD-skills. From personal experience I would evaluate most of the things you wrote in your OP as exaggeration or plain wrong.
In my opinion there has to be a place where people can compare notes about their playstyles and how to get better therefore removing G&R makes no sense at all. If you're talking about "restructuring" you have to make a sensible proposition as you're the one who thinks that this subforum sucks, not me.
I believe the people who post here should play more instead of asking advice on how to click circles
The problem is that people ask the same 2-3 questions all day everyday, questions which are usually both obvious and/or have been addressed rigorously in the stickies. These people evidently don't want to put in any effort to learn the things they want to know when it is already staring them in the face, they merely wish to be spoonfed the entire process like the spoiled children they are.
Whole internet is pointless but its still there.
Then why should one insignificant subforum get removed?

On a more serious note, G&R is not useless. While many posts are reposts they are still useful. If you need information then you ask a question. It's been pointed out that a lot of this information is in stickies, but no one actually reads stickies on forums, or at least I never have and I doubt many casual players do either. If a way to present tis information in a more complete obvious manner (more obvious then the stickies) was created then G&R could be removed. Until then removing G&R would probably have a negative effect on new players. Note:Moving the sticky information to the wiki probably wouldn't work, as I pointed out earlier, casual players don't look very hard for what they want, they'd rather just ask the question. If it was moved to the wiki it would need to be glaringly obvious to the point where it is obnoxious.
While G&R may be the ultimate land of shiposting, it isn't completly worthless.

It also shows decently how the so-called shitposters do a decent job of delivering the asked information without a fuss as the OP in that thread did elaborate the problem well.otoed1 wrote:

There's a reason why the shitposters in this subforum tend to be nice people - they came here to help out other people or searching for help themselves.
A correlation between the quality of the question and the quality of the answer is very common anyway.
A lot of the "I need help" threads are posted by relatively new users. Most of them don't realize stickies or search functions exist. There are also lazy people, or people who want peer critque or have specific questions.Philosofikal wrote:

- Almost every noob question answer / useful piece of information can already be found in the stickies (which often get overlooked), and this information could possibly be better placed inside the wiki.
The problem is, skilled players have already given insightful answers already to most prevailing questions, and there were so many different opinions and perspectives on the game that it is difficult to compile them into one agreeable comprehensive wiki. Also, most of these players either eventually just stop answering questions anymore, or get frustrated and tell new players to just "play more." 2 years ago, even the "play more" came with helpful links to relevant threads and stickies to help the new player. These days, the active posters now just use "play more" like a meme, shitpost, or start flame wars in threads.
I still try to give insightful answers as best as I can, even if I have to be a broken record because this subforum was originally a place to help new players learn more about the intricacies of the game. It's sad but the subforum isn't the one that's become pointless, it's the change in active posters who aren't really that thoughtful towards the new players.
Then you're the problem. Its not the stickies problem for "not being obvious enough" (What you you even want, more obvious? Want a popup telling you this stuff in there whenever you go on the forums?) but the problem is with players like you who are too stupid or lazy to apply basic logic or look for information and instead expect to be spoonfed. And no, the wiki isnt obscure either or anything, a wiki is about as accessible as information can possibly be, you lazy fucks just need to read. Or do you want the text read loud for you so you only have to listen like the lazy fuck you are? Well, good for you, theres programms that can tell you what is written on your screen... oh wait getting these involves googling, which you fuckers are too lazy for. Too bad, maybe you should stop being this much of a lazy fucker instead? I think that'd be even easier actually.otoed1 wrote:

I hate you lazy crybabies, waaah waaah i cant find informations, please help me.
Atleast attempt to help yourself first before asking the next most redunant question ever. Only this way the forum could get rid of all these redunant reposts. Again, i tell you, YOU and people like you are the problem, not the stickies or the wiki or anything else you may come up with.

Well, this thread blew up while I was sleeping and with surprisingly intelligent conversation.
Once you’ve accepted your flaws, no one can use them against you.
This is definitely true. According to the front page, G&R has the most replies of any subforum, yet the moderation around here is practically nonexistent (and drum drum is most of it). osu! is a rapidly growing community (and one with global reach); we need more moderation to keep things under control. I also think the moderators are too lenient with offenders.Amtroad wrote:

This is a terrible argument. If shitposting is so badly needed that's what Off-Topic (or some kind of Wasteland) is for.Ziassan wrote:

Isn't it good when the same question gets the same answer from different people at different times?No, it's bad that people are asking the same question at all, because the question has been played out.
Aside from that you can't only blame the people who give the answer as most people who make new threads don't make the impression as if they'd have thought even a tiny bit about their problem.And we need to find a practical way to manage the people who have no investment or awareness in the community, so that they get better answers and stop polluting the board with tired questions.
The topic might get derailed but the "shitposters" will oftentimes put on a serious discussion with the topic discussed having a comprehensable relation to the original one.That still isn't a good thing since it doesn't help OP.

It's a bad medium for this kind of thing.I agree with this. I don't even see why we have a subreddit since we already have a fully comprehensive forum. However, this is the way things work for now and since the subreddit has the blessing of peppy, I don't see this changing.
No and yes. The stickies give you a good start but people will find new questions based on what they read and the answers can't be found in the stickies.
