♫Griffinsusername♫ Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 I just had this idea. Why don't a few people make threads that automatically make a sticky in the Questions forum (Like "Spoilers / dropdown boxes / click here boxes, etc.") so that forum isn't flooded with spam. I am sick and tired of people asking about how to make spoilers and post cards. Maybe even make it a main site rule to look for stickies before posting random questions. Please give reasoning if you are against this idea for I am a big debator -.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fake Apology Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Look, regular usergroup members such as ''Registered'' can't stick a thread by their own; they need to have a moderator/administrator do it for them.Now, there are also some FAQ's for newbies, around, which happen to be sticky. I agree with you, newbies must look around before posting simple questions, but i don't get what you made this thread for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luna Lovegood Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 There's a FAQ /thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larxene Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 I thought this thread was about banning Luna Lovegood. We already have threads with Frequently Asked Questions anyway, but no one ever reads it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fake Apology Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 We already have threads with Frequently Asked Questions anyway' date=' but no one ever reads it.[/quote'] And one of those threads is this one. But anyways, FAQ threads are pointless recently, nobody ever spends his time reading one in order to find an answer. They are bored(mainly newbies), which makes them ask questions directly by making a thread without looking around.Another worthwhile FAQ thread.

SebastiaanZ Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Can't we make a thread with "Too frequently asked questions"? :D ;) Anyway, newbies should be obliged to look at all the FAQ`s first before posting a post or a thread. Isn't there a mechanism that we can make them not post before reading certain threads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypony Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Mabey make it manditory to see the faq thread?Mabey make it manditory to see the faq thread? because people will defiantly read the entire block of text and not exit before even reading you should make a auto PM that links them to the FAQs and the PM should be read by at least 90% of the members,it should be read by all of the new members though... and if they asked a question already answered in the FAQs,the thread gets locked and gets the warning level raised and PMed again to the FAQs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
