Not that there are really any repercussions, but I guess it'd be good to list it so it's
official.
Personally, I know when I started using the forums here, I was confused by the format. I didn't know if you had to subscribe to a forum to read it and therefore only certain people could read certain forums. I didn't realize everyone could read every forum. And it's never the longtime users who are posting several times just to be a nuisance.. it's new users who are confused like I was.
One other thing, though - is moderating to be pretty much left to the moderators? Should anyone (maybe 20 people, maybe 100) who see a duplicate post become moderators themselves and tell the user not to post duplicate threads, or should that be left strictly to the moderators who can then close the thread, move it, etc...
