Ok. I'll keep an eye on any scifi queries in YKTS and see if it happens again. I feel bad cus the poor guy just wants his books identified, but that isn't the way to go about it.
Edit: maybe my title was too long? thestormtrooper is who I am referring to.
I've tried to help him identify his book to the best of my ability, but even after I tried to explain to him that sometimes people just don't have an answer, and to put it from his mind and not stress over it, he constantly brings up that nobody responds to his queries and that it is unfair, because other people get responses.
It's to the point where he is using other scifi YKTS queries to complain https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/query.php?parent_id=97713&type=ykts
I've tried to be supportive and help him on his posts, but at this point it's just getting really depressing to click on a YKTS query and see him sadposting about nobody replying to him. Nobody has an OBLIGATION to answer his queries, and he needs to realize that instead of flooding the site with complaints.
Edit again: flooding may be too strong of a word, but if I see more complaining on YKTS queries about nobody answering him i'm just going to link it on this post.
