I keel you

[Orion]

This isn't directed at anyone in particular, but recently I've been getting lots of requests on AIM and MSN for updates, and that's it. I jump on, and five seconds later, "Goku, can you ...." and fill in the blanks.

If something needs updating, don't pester staff like this. It makes us not want to do it. It is a deterrent. We will eventually see your post, and will update it when we find the time. All you need to do is to post either OOC in your thread that something has ended (a small notification mind you) or, if it's like Ki Sense, post a small thread on the Q/S/U board. Staff will be much more willing to help then.

If it is REALLY REALLY urgent, and note how I wrote 'really', please make use of your dusty PM system. It is there for a reason, and if you don't get a reply straight away, but feel like your life will collapse on itself until you get one, get off your damn computer and do something outside.

There, that's better. And I don't think I swore once. In summary:

AIM/MSN updates to staff = bad
Posting once or PMing staff = good
Posting constantly about an update = very very bad >=O
