I'm guessing it's Peo's meltdown week?

Hey truth is truth no matter how much you want to point and laugh and try to make fun of people.

Out of the last 6 tips of the day, 1 has been anonymous, 1 has been submitted by Rill and the other 4 have been submitted by users that don't exist. Not quite sure why you are calling conspiracy theory on me, I am just saying, the tips are not submitted by users and they are pretty much useless. Nobody comes here to post helpful stuff, for the very reasons that have been indicated in the past. Everyone wants to come here and mock other people. Moderators included.

Don't like my conclusions, feel free to bugger off.

It takes a special person to look down on people like Rill and others who submit these tips, trying to be helpful to the people here. If you don't like the tip, feel free to get on with your day without saying anything negative about it.

I give up, your pigheadness is too much to overcome.

Now, you _are_ aware that logins for ignvault (where you submit the tips) are different than logins here, right? I presume you would have been bright enough to check both places before calling shenanigans.

Yep.

No results when searching for the names.

This. I've received a couple tips via email, some from guildies, many in trade chat when I dare ask, a bunch from wow blogs, and occasionally I'll pilfer the official forums. For example, this tip was condensed from the sticky on the official forums healer section. Interestingly I haven't received a single tip submission via PM on these forums and only a very few via the submissions form. Eventually I hope that more tips will be submitted that way instead of me fishing for tips.

Also, judging which tips get posted and which don't is something of an interesting job. I'm pretty good at filtering obviously bad ones (but I did let one slip with the old link on the bear tank tip >.<. I'm not against beginner tips or UI tips or controversial tips. There are tips waiting to be posted this month that I don't agree with. But I know they can be useful for somebody even if they aren't useful to me. It's actually harder than you might think to come up with a short and concise tip that will be useful and not too vague. I respect those who submit or post tidbits about WoW in order to try an help another person or player out there.


I appreciate the defense Dums. I didn't think I'd need to respond here myself but I do want to defend those who are bothering to submit tips and bringing something useful to WoW Vault. It's sad that the comments are mostly negative but not everyone reads the comments. The tips get more views on the vault than they do here on the forums. So I keep posting them despite the negativity that's been prevalent on the forums lately. I could just uncheck the 'post to forums' box when I post news to the vault's front page, but I don't and won't because there might be some people here who like the tips, news, contests, guides ect who don't visit the vault's main page.


Edit: If it makes you feel better Peo - Shannon is me. It's the name of my priest. I felt weird, Rill being my paladin, posting a priestly/healing tip under the name of Rill (strictly dps or tank). So I used Shannon and probably will continue to do so. Now you know my secret. I am ashamed! *shame face*

Despite a moderator calling tinfoilwhatever, I knew the tips were posted by you all along. Nobody actually comes to VN to help. Even though I was right, I am sure that moderator will continue to mock. It is just how VN is...

I honestly doubt all of the "anonymous" tips posted have been from VN mods, but even if they were, so what?

If they help some people, then great. If not, oh well. I won't say they have all been good tips (and I know they aren't all good, but not all bad either), but at least they try. Seems the Tip of the Day is aimed towards the new player, not the veteran.

I think the whole point of this thread has veered off from the Tip of the Day to how you feel about VN. And frankly, since you feel so vehement against VN, why don't you leave? It's pretty apparent you don't like these forums. And I can guarantee that nobody here will miss you.

Ok, I take that back. The people that like to feed trolls will miss you. The rest of us will go on with our days without a second thought towards you.

Long story short: You like it? Great! You don't like it? GTFO DIAF ROFLCOPTERSTEWANDBISCUITS!
