Hi,
I've been lurking a long time and recently started posting. I've used this and many other sites as a point of reference in my hobbying.
One thing I've noticed is that whenever a newb asks a question about a particular MPA/SP without doing an obvious search...he gets his ass handed to him.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm all for educating people on how to use the features (ie search) on this site and I use that feature myself...but...
Lately, everytime I use the search feature to say, find out rates of an SP, I have to sift through countless threads where some newb has asked the same question of the group only to get 3 pages of "you idiot...use the search function".
Now how am I (who uses the search) to find what I want to know if all we do is blast people and tell them to search???!!!!
Here's an idea...try this.
"Hi there new poster...in the future you can use the search feature, pm me if you're unsure how, but here's the info you're looking for in the meantime...."
Wow, see, the guy gets his info, gets advised to use the search in the future...and then when he does he won't have to sift through page after page of useless flames...
There...I'm done.
