As all of the threads I post are marked as dupes WHEN I POST PROOF THAT IT HAD NOT BEEN POSTED BEFOREHAND I am DONE sharing here. I am literally done. I am removing ALL of my downloads and will lurk. I'm sick and tired of it.
I hate to offer unsolicited advice, but something that might help you and/or others in the future: it's possible to use an external search engine to check the site for results that (for whatever reason) aren't showing up in the site search:
site:zonegfx.com [ENTER SEARCH TERM HERE]The majority of search engines (Google, DuckDuckGo, etc.) will limit your results to those on ZoneGFX. It might not work for threads that were only posted in the last day or so, but it never hurts to try.
If you don't use the search engine with the right keywords, like the item's actual name and thus you find nothing, it doesn't mean that item wasn't requested already. Your request is a DUPLICATE because it was literally requested already.
Example:
Your "proof" pic from here (https://zonegfx.com/forums/topic/dforce-dungies-for-g8fs-2/) -> you searched for "dForce - Dungies for G8Fs by Lully", but the search will never find it because the item's name is "dForce - Dungies for G8Fs":
and this is the original request - which was made before yours:
I've been tricked before because, even after a search, the item/s I posted were in bundles so the individual item names didn't show up in the search. The only way around that is to have a look at the original source and check if it's part of a bundle, then search here for that.
I'm DLing a lot less these days so I'm sending you some points as consolation. I know that doesn't fix the initial problem 🙄.It should be mandatory that if an item is marked as a dupe then the evidence [link] be posted to confirm that is the case.
@fuzzy3000 The mods are the ones who mark and close the threads as Dupes and we always leave a link to the original thread (or if a user already pointed the error out - like in my example above - we use that one) 😉
I can only repeat myself if someone can't use the "Search Forums" properly then don't be surprised if the thread gets closed because it's a DUPLICATE.
@Warrant63
OK - good to know.So there should not be a need to complain - as in this thread - if your item is marked as a dupe, especially if defending it.
