Suggestion Removal of "Can somebody make <insert game here> run on a <console here>?" threads.

[SylverReZ]

Over the past few days, there have been a dozen or so users making threads, asking people to create a port for a game that they enjoy onto previous generation consoles. These threads show no real effort and straight up bloats the forums, either they should be deleted or moved to the EOF.

If they're not bothered to do the work, why should anyone do so?

Exactly. At the end of the day, they're just kids who don't know any better, that may want to be in the video game industry in the future. They just don't have the skillset or knowledge to do research first.

Sounds like extra moderation. Just reply with a polite and informative post explaining why it’s not possible. Most of the time these threads die on their own, but you can always report them if you think a staff member should get involved

Welcome to the internet Sylver, look around you, every place that's somewhat dedicated to homebrew has people begging for ports.
This happened since the dawn of homebrew and will continue until the end of humanity.

Locked.
