But then I found out I was just dumb.
 
I went to get my ER fix but I couldn't get any sound with the video. I thought it might have just been the one, but the L4D2 quick look had the same problem. I went to youtube and a couple of other media sites and they worked no problem. Then I thought maybe it was a problem with the streaming videos, so I switched to progressive, but STILL no sound.
 
I wondered if this had something to do with GB being down for a while this afternoon, since I hadn't watched any of the videos since it happened, so I went to the bug report forum and started to write up a post.
 
Then I looked really carefully at the soundless video I was trying to run.
 
I had the volume slider all the way to the left.

This happens to me around 5 times a day, I also walked into the garage to find my dog cutting my breaks. The difference between you and me? I follow the rules and don't post spam about it.

I'm seriously not trying to do this for the quests. I just thought it was funny and I was REALLY frustrated since everything else I tried with all my other media worked, yet something so damn simple had me stumped for half an hour.

Man, it's so difficult to post new topics without being randomly accused of spamming for the quests. This topic being a case in point. Almost makes me want to avoid the forums all together.

I was watching TV once and then I noticed there wasn't a TV at all.  Silly me.

Don't the rules mention not responding to spam (if that's what you thought this was)?

What? You'd break one rule to inform a user of another rule? Then I suppose there's also some debate about the spaminess of the post to be had.

@MasturbatingBear:
Your point was what I said? I just don't get this. My position is that this thread was not spam ("hence the debate to be had"). I gather you feel differently, but our personal feelings on the spaminess of this thread are moot, since neither of us are moderators.
 
Was your point that you would break a site rule to tell another user of another rule? What's the justification in that, aside from the unfriendliness?

The people complaining about people quest spamming are worse than the people who are spam questing. But the people who complain about the people who complain about people quest spamming are great. I thought the story was a chilling tale of the dangers of lowing audio on flash based videos. This is a warning I'll take to heart while posting in this topic which obviously isn't spamming but a legitimate topic. But to be fair, bears are cool. But having an avatar of a bear? I'm undecided.

Now ANY forum post people don't fucking like gets called quest spam. This is really getting annoying, didn't even think of quests at all when I entered this topic.

Your apologies are welcomed, but not necessary for me. But what about @AlKusanagi? (And possibly @Lautaro?)

Nah ill survive, I know there is a lot of quest spam (ALOT) just seems like people take advantage of this to put down any topic they dislike.

We've always been getting threads like this. The difference now is that people think they have an excuse to bitch about it and drive off potential members of the community.

Exactly. The only thing worse than spam is people bitching and making accusations of  "questing". Makes the community seems aloof and unwelcoming.
