isn't there somthing very similar already in existence?

All of us were noob's once! Who likes searching through posts when they can post a message?

The way of doing things changes so much so it's sometiems better to write a message.

If a person is really serious they will search it out, others will just ask the same questions that upset you guys so much

Nobody forces you to answer a post, plus its a public forum.

Firstly... because I want the content of this forum to be high quality, for my own personal gain.

Secondly... because it is also in the best interest of people making such posts. Example:

http://tranceaddict.com/forum/showt...3&forumid=48&s=
I guarantee you, hardly any of the replies in that thread were what he was looking for or needing.

In general actually, the forum has been pretty good lately! Around christmas it was a right mess of bs! I guess you get that with all the idiots that go and buy shit for christmas then realise they have no talent or persistence and give up.

Exception being rubez

RUBEEZZZZZZ

i mean...the first thing n00bs should be doing is using the search function and checking the master tutorial thread, in theory although this doesnt always happen. making a new sticky with quesitons not to ask is going to give them one more thing to distract from the master tutorial list or any other helpful threads.

just my 2 cts

honestly , is it really a big deal....I mean thats what these forums are for to help people out...don't get me wrong but the forums aren't getting that much traffic and a huge amount of posts...so let em post and whoever wants to help...well then they can help.

Just my opinion.

when people sign up, they should have to read and checkbox an agreement saying any noobish questions should start out...

NOOB QUESTION

So people can avoid tripping into these threads.
But those willing to help just jump right into them
Just a thought

lol i wonder when rubez's latest track is comming out! cant wait!

You're being ironic, right? We already have a FAQ, and it has all of those questions.

The problem is that the people who continue to ask those questions have no interest in actually looking for the answer, which means they're not going to read anything, ever, except for responses to their specific query. There's nothing you can do about those people except flame them, ignore them, close their threads, or answer them (if you feel like wasting a lot of time).

It's just one step away from the jerks who post questions on Usenet and ask for people to send their replies by e-mail. Some people are simply lazy, inconsiderate, and/or stupid.
