it's exactly as I said, the ones posting the topic did not specify which character, they brought it to themselves.
Do screenshots not count all of a sudden?

I agree.

While the posts are definitely annoying it's not really anything worth getting worked up about, and if a user keeps making the same kind of posts after being warned about it before, they'll have their posts deleted and/or be banned.

you know, that is a very good point. seems the only way is to have DON'T DO THIS right when they hit post (y'know like the necrobump alert) which would be kinda excessive, so

sooner or later, everybody puts up with xiangfei

As I said in the first post, I think it merits little more than a slap on the wrist and a post deletion.  I don't tink it needs to be a major offense.

So does this include the following
-Trolling
-Random spamming
-Off Topic Trolling
-Mature (XXX) Trolling/Hyper Spamming
-Instant attacks on the creator (not the creations itself)

If so i support this idea as well..for new creators of both stages & characters it gives the little guys like me some hope and more comfort being here

they already make the user click the topic. call it false advertizing if you wish.
People shouldn't have to specifically say "oh btw this isn't character x from y, it's actually character a from b." Not doing that is not false advertising.

I wouldn't say it's to the extreme extent of those things. I don't find this to be that big of a deal IMO. Though I may just be giving people the benefit of doubt, which I always do. I don't think that's the user's intentions to be rude, they're just stating what they expected by reading the topic of a release. Everyone has expectations when you're about to DL something/go into a topic, however I can see where it can get annoying and somewhat disrespectful to the creator/possible other users. I don't think saying you expected something should be warrant for banning... Though, it should be encouraged that members/users reframe from posting what you expect of something/someone. Because while it may not be your intent to be rude, it comes off that way in all fairness.

it doesn't really add anything to the thread though. and you don't even need to go into the thread to find out what it is. since you can check the screenshot.
something looks a little off...

The "I was expecting _____" comments are on the same level as "nice car +1" posts, they add nothing to discussion and say nothing about the release itself.

The user's intents may not be about being rude or disrespectful but they are still stupid posts that are annoying to look at. Of course, this wouldn't be a big deal if users wouldn't post this kind of comments so often.

I'd say they're worse; nice car + 1 posts at least are compliments. The "oh I was expecting this character" posts are giant fuck-yous to the creator of the character; they're saying "this character is not worth my time because it is not the character I thought it would be, and I need to tell everyone about my displeasure even though nobody gives a fuck."

I was actually going to say I see that kind of posts that way, except that I was trying to be articulate but I'm pretty horrible at wording things so I cut it out my post.

But yeah, I think we got the point already. So, we just report the posts and they are deleted? A user doing it repeated times gets a small ban for bad behavior or something? What is the final word.

SOMETIMES they're helpful and constructive:

It tells the owner of the thread that they might want to be bit more specific with their titles (for example, instead of just writing "Kim released!" they may get more attention by specifying "Kim Sue-Il released!", especially if there are Kizuna Encounter fans in the forum).

It's easy to tell the difference between someone who's just trolling and whining and someone that's saying "Ah, that wasn't clear from the title". I mean, sure, you can figure it out by just opening the thread and looking at the character in the screenshots, but that's why titles are there, to attract attention. There's nothing wrong suggesting people set proper expectations from the get-go.

Of course, if there's a reason to believe someone's trolling, they should always receive a report, regardless of the subject matter.

Note that I have never made these types of "I was expecting X" posts. These are just my two cents, I'm not trying to defend myself or anyone else here.

Although that is basically reasonable. It's not fair to the topic starter still. It should not matter how the release is worded (as long as it include a name) or who it is. You shouldn't be going into any thread and then basically complain that the character isn't what you wanted.

Which is kinda the point. It's not "i was expecting" the people who make these posts are really saying "I wanted X and you have ruined it"

Point stands. report it and we'll delete it.
