<td valign="top"><div class="post">As you know I added the &apos;comments&apos;-feature to my site some time ago. And guess for what it was mainly used from the start: download requests. So, I put the text &quot;(not for questions, requests and / or complaints about non-available downloads!)&quot; directly below the text field where people enter their text. Now guess what my main work with these comments since then is. Yes, you&apos;re right: deleting download requests! What&apos;s the matter with these people??? <img style="border:0" src="/forum/images/smilies/angry.gif" alt="<img src="/forum/images/smilies/angry.gif" alt=":angry:" align="bottom" />" align="bottom" width="17" height="17" /></div><div>----- </div><div class="signature"><p><em>Now you see the violence inherent in the system!</em></p> </div></td>

I'm wondering how many of those comments or emails are sites like MobyGames getting...

I'm thinking about putting up a huge link "REQUEST GAMES HERE" and linking it to an e-mail address like "mail-to-this-address-will-not-be-read@goodolddays.net" - just to see how many people would use it ;)

Try that, and a couple of weeks later your regular address will be flooded by emails asking "WHY DIDN'T YOU SEND ME THE GAME I ASKED YOU?".

No, I don't think so - most people seem to forget what e-mails they sent out themselves after half a day ;)

You may be right. It's a shame those people don't actually forget to send some emails...
