Quote:When creating new threads about dolphin, always provide a) your PC specs (CPU, RAM, GPU, Operating System, ..) b) information about the Dolphin build used (version/revision, source, ..) c) Dolphin settings d) detailed description of what you're trying to do (e.g including the name of the game you tried to run). Ignoring this rule will get your thread closed and have you warned off.
bold: "ALWAYS", a, b, c, AND d? Like when someone has kind of situation not relevant to PC spec, Dolphin rev, etc. and it will have to type down all the details given by the abc's? There are certain situation where there's no need to list every single details covered by the abc's about the problem given by a thread starter.
Let's see some examples:
1) http://forums.dolphin-emu.org/showthread.php?tid=20426
Will someone actually answer Nullf0x's question without need to know any more details?
Yes. That was me. I could have post the obvious solution but it was closed because of the new forum rule. (Nullf0x created new thread and filled out the unnecessary details and just found the solution some hours ago anyway)
I am surprised how that thread ended up being closed because of UNNECESSARY DETAILS ARE NECESSARY by the new rule.

Is it actually necessary to spill out specs, Dolphin's settings, and such about that kind of situation??
NO. (assumes that thread starter is not expert at Dolphin's extraordinary settings of course)
Somebody seemed to know the answer and yet thread starter was forced to type out its PC specs.
That new rule is kind of harsh, imo

New rule should be like: Thread starter SHOULD at least write details that is RELEVANT to its situation in the first place and if thread starter obviously BEING FRICKIN LAZY about writing down the details that you believe it will CAUSE SOMEONE TO ASK THE THREAD STARTER FOR THE "GENERAL DETAILS" ABOUT ITS SITUATION, staffs can close user's thread anytime.
Y' know, use some common senses!
