There seems to be lots of basic questions being asked that have been asked and answered a million times before and multiple threads in different forums being started. They just clutter up the forums and make it harder to find the original info. We don't always help by answering these basic questions over and over instead of pointing to the million previous answers.
Eg what's the difference between low tech and high tech? Or a thread started about Amanos passing over a month after he died - like we'd miss that
On a couple of other sites I frequent, when you try to start a new thread it asks, 'have you searched first?' And you have to click yes before the thread will post. Multi Abusers are locked from starting threads until they show they are posting as a useful member.
One even limits your ability to start a thread until you have posted 20 or so times (like the sale/swap/want section)
