General Q&A Master Threads for each board
« on: August 31, 2015, 01:06:40 PM »
I think there should be the place in asking general questions and answers, that thread should be sticked to the top, I think that would be a very useful thing for the forums.

What is your opinion?

If each question and answer is added to a wiki then yes.

What's the problem if people ask their questions again and again? That's the whole point

The idea is to ask and not be afraid of bullies

Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

Well it helps if people do minimal reading/searching before (re)(re)(re)posting...

I don't understand.

You want a master thread where people will re-ask all the questions that are already re-asked 1000s of times in the regular threads?

And that will somehow be useful?

Exactly! Like this people like me wouldn't care, and the people willing to answer (like Dan) will just hop in to answer.
This should NOT have to be a thread where you'll search for answers

Or one discussing the guidelines for creating new threads.

The problem is there are so many new threads created every day for silly questions as to which card to use for airfare...
Why not ask in the Q&A thread and finish

P.S. The Start here board I totally forgot that it exists...
