lame post space wasting

Yeti · 04-15-2005, 08:22 PM

I dont have much suggestions about it but it is really annoying to see so many people asking repetative questions and not searching (as so many have already flamed people about) and then dumb questions in the tech sections about "should I buy this taco or not for $XXXX."

Ive noticed its really picked up lately as this board has grown larger and its fairly new people asking these questions, I wish there was a way to filter them out or maybe HEY maybe (I just got this idea) what if new people could only reply to already started posts in the beginning and then after theyve been around awhile like at their 15 post or something they could start a new thread.. that might keep things a little cleaner, Or maybe just add to people giving lameass advice so that they could reach their post goal and then start a new thread... I dont know im just not liking the dumb questions.

We have the noobie section now. If you see a post that has a stupid title, ignore it.

It is the responsibility of our moderators to move newbie posts into the appropriate section when they see them.

I'm a newbie myself and think that all the questions referring to whether or not to buy something (truck,brushgaurds,tires,etc.) should be posted in Off Topic, now the other annoying questions (examples: What gears? and how do I make ____ size tire fit? or How much lift?) could maybe be solved if someone created a suggested gearing and a recommended lift chart and post them at the top of the Newbie Tech section just below the rules. The next step would be for people to simply point the link out to them instead of entertaining them with answers and keeping the stupid thread going
