I'm watching this thread on whether you use a filter or not. It is, by some, a passive aggressive little pissing contest. AND I can certainly understand that for many on here this is a well past beaten dead horse. For others, this is their first rodeo (keeping to that horse theme - crack myself up ). In years past I ran a successful off-road magazine that had a forum for discussion. Early on I recognized that this exact scenario would come up again-and-again because there are always newbies and dead horse questions. The passive aggressive pissing contest going on scares away new people looking in. For this reason we had a FLAME FREE FORUM. In that forum it was open for anyone to ask what might seem to be the dumbest newbie question or even the beaten to a dust dead horse question. The moderators I assigned to it had strict strict guidelines that no flaming of any type would be accepted. If your answer wasn't to be 100 percent trying to help then don't bother to post. It was a safe haven area and people liked it.
As to placement, it would need to be up high so that newbies find it early on before stepping into an area that might not be as 100% friendly or helpful.
I hope this suggestion might help. From time to time I have seen people on here leave and that's seldom helpful. Additionally, dead horse questions that come up over time get pushed further and further down the archives and don't seem so current. And questions that do come up over and over tend to be question that are commonly wondered about.
Sticking with this horse theme, I will pretend I'm back in Italy and see if I can find a horse burger.
