Helping newbies is one thing... helping newbies in the proper forum thread is another.

You're putting up general miner settings and asking advice... you can open another thread for that in the Hardware or the Altcoin subforums. You'll get plenty of helpful advice that way.

Putting it in here on a specific pool's support thread is typically called "hijacking" a thread and is usually frowned upon. You'll get less help and some angry people that way.

It's like going to a random classroom at a University and loudly yelling in the middle of a Chemistry Class for some help with your Medieval Literature homework. There's a time and a place for everything.

See i would think that if i am mining with a specific pool such as wafflepool, i would want my fellow miners to help me with my config files after all as RedGreen would say "were all in this boat together" so it makes sense to me that this particular page is where i would go for support help, after all i would think all other miners at wafflepool would want all others running as efficiently as possible thus maximizing profits.

Not pool specific really in these cases...

If it was "oh this intensity works better in this pool than another pool" then yes, it would be apropos. But having general cgminer fork configuration settings is a bit more general and not necessarily appropriate for a thread such as this. Either way, it's a subtle break of thread etiquette that will (and has) resulted in some of the more experienced forum people to "not be friendly". Making your own thread instead of using someone else's accomplishes the same thing without making people angry for violating ettiquette.

So please take my comments as just some friendly advice on how to get better answers to your questions.

And everyone is different - I only read the few threads in my watchlist, and rarely look for new threads, so if someone needs help mining on a pool I'm on, I don't mind answering in-thread. Granted, I really wish people would like to learn the how's and why's of configuring a miner, but sometimes I'm in a nice mood

my original post on here was asking if there were some deeper explanations of the different settings in the config file, and utahjohn and thirtybird(i believe) pointed me in the right direction. not taking offense to anyone and not trying to sound like a D, just was appreciative of utahjohn pointing me in the correct direction, i will pm him my config and maybe something will work for him.

Again thanks for the help, i am looking forward to continuously mining
