I could accept such behavior if it was against a user who has been a member for several months and not someone who has only been there for a month.
The site is easy for us to navigate because we have been there for a long time, but the site is not easy to navigate for new members.
A short note would have been enough and not an indirect request that he should piss off
Mavis, I appreciate what you are saying, but I want you to consider the following :
1)this new member had to get to the thread, on this site, in the first place, showing basic internet navigation skills
2)Android links are in the first post, and in multiple posts in last couple of weeks
3)The search symbol (a magnifying glass) has been a standard of the internet for 2 decades
4)despite this, they took the time to setup an account, return to the thread, and then post one word : "Android?" (there's 10 minutes difference between account creation and that post)
I will hazard a guess that in 2 months that account will either be 1)sat at one post or B) asking the same question in other game threads.
Laziness and/or stupidity should not be excused, especially if they took the effort to make an account to ask a question that a few seconds of reading newest posts or a quick skim of the first post would have been enough.
Was I being rude? Yes, yes I was. 3 posts above that question is someone quoting the links to the android version(s), there is not anyway of them not passing either that post or the opening post to even get to the point of posting in the thread.
heaven help them if they see a sign that says "danger beyond this point", they would probably walk right past it.
