... many seem to lack the ability of using Search functionalities before posting a thread. This results in massive repetition of topics, which is a total bore; let alone the often pointless content.
Yes, this is an aspect that absolutely bores me to tears. I feel that the demographics are somehow different here too.
Although there are people interested in what I consider Perfumery with a capital P on Fragrantica, there is also a hell of a lot of Victoria Secret body spray enthusiasts and Paris Hilton & co fans.
An enormous amount of topics seem to centre around the issues of finding the sexiest frag, or engaging in "games" where the aim is to allocate perfumes to Disney characters for example.
Very juvenile and not stimulating for the grey matter at all, but then I guess that's what you get when admin want to play it so safe that anything deemed the slightest bit controversial gets deleted.
All this is not helped by the many members who appear completely incapable of debating in a mature fashion.
All in all, I'm pretty much exclusively sticking to my perso thread now.
I agree with all of this. In addition, I don't appreciate being told that if I want a bottle of perfume, I ought to save up my loose change in a jar until I have enough and that sort of patronizing nonsense. It's almost like large collections are puritanically frowned upon over there.
