They did tend to clog the forum, is the problem, I think. But I feel like rules can be changed, if there's no reason for them anymore. Oh wait. I checked the rules - it says to use Pillreports or your regional forum - which makes sense, ED is meant to be global.
No reason why you guys can't change themOnce upon a time, I wrote some of them. They've been changed since then. And I don't have a monopoly on knowledge, ya know?
Oh man. I want to give you a big hug right now. People have been trying that approach since before I joined BL, and it never works. You cannot force people to read FAQs, most of them just don't. People want to ask questions and have them answered by other people. I'm a reference librarian, I do this for a job - I try to build FAQs and it has very little effect, people still ask me the basic questions. [But don't get downhearted!

Aye everything is in think tank at the moment. The approach I'm going to have to basic questions is "Read this thread" and that'll be that. If you drum it in after a while things will (hopefully) sort themselves out.
I tried to make it as simple as possible. It leaves room for more advanced questions but the run of the mill newbie will have their questions answered straight away.
