Patch 1.11/2.6/3.2
Drakron:
That is why moderators and a few selective bans would do wonders, the reason people act like fucktards is because they get away with it.
Its imageboard culture as you never punished by acting like a dick makes people act like dicks.

The directions to install the framework seem quite clear to me. Most posts of "halp I suck don't hurt me" probably deserve to be ignored. Often the "imma lame" posts also give ZERO information allowing for any kind of troubleshooting or support. And most are like phnxflyng's post, I haven't tried anything on my own and I haven't tried to read about anything else that has or hasn't been tried. That's the kind of shit that clogs up threads making it difficult to find useful information. I finding it amusing that so many people think MATY is soooo mean!!!1! They are probably the most helpful Sims community I have seen. Especially if by helpful one means getting results. Please, rampancy, quit clogging the technical threads with your opinions on the forum culture. If you had read the FAQ thoroughly, you would have realized there is a more appropriate place to post your opinions.

I simply do not understand what is so difficult about finding the instructions for installing Awesomemod. It's labeled "How to Install the Framework and Awesomemod!" It is amazing how many people refuse to read instructions and want someone to give them the information personally. Please, you cannot use a computer without learning how to read; avail yourselves of remedial reading classes first and then return to the computer. I am so tired of looking for information and having to sort through the whining to find it. Like anyone with half a brain, I know that I must revisit the instructions if something I have done doesn't work. Inevitably, in my haste, I have skipped a step. Imagine, when I follow all of the steps, it works! It's like magic!

Again, if people would learn to use that bar labeled "Search:", or the link "Advanced Search", people wouldn't have to answer the same questions over and over again.
Yes, they would. Forum searches (regardless of the specific forum software used) are inherently hit and miss affairs. For example, I did a few searches just now, and in each one of them, the first page of results for each search was dominated by posts chastising another user for not using the search to find it.
In a perfect world, everyone would search for their answer before posting. Assuming everyone did this first, there would be no redundant threads, and thus no "SEARCH MOAR!!!1!!1" posts attached to them, making searching much more efficient. Call me crazy, but I've been under the impression that searching first was general forum etiquette and not just MATY specific. Only difference I really see is that forum etiquette breaking redundancies are followed with "Please use search next time, OK, Kitten?" instead of "LERN TO SERCH MOAR N00B!1!!" I favour the latter as it usually prevents that same person from refusing to search and cluttering the forums with another useless post* the next time they fail to read instructions, yet fails to prevent new users from doing it.
If you buy an entertainment center/desk/whatever else from Local Furniture Shoppe, are you going to throw away the building instructions and phone Local Furniture Shoppe demanding that they hold your hand through the entire process? The instructions may be somewhat difficult to follow at times (looking at you, IKEA) but they certainly are not something to curl up in a corner and cry about. In fact, if you did call Local Furniture Shoppe, I'm almost positive they'd give you their equivalent of "SEARCH MOAR" and ask if you read the instructions. If your answer was no, would they be willing to walk you through it? I know I wouldn't.
*There is no need to point out that I'm complaining about useless posts in what is essentially a useless post.
Claeric:
Last I knew the framework installation instructions have repeated steps as well as steps referring to steps which aren't actually there to be referred to, plus major context errors (referring to something as belonging "where you put the other file" when you've yet to be instructed to put a file anywhere, for example).
So when someone asks about it, they're kinda TOTALLY justified in that whoever wrote said instructions speaks english as a 3rd language and also is half retarded.
