We can try it. I would like to believe that most people will search and read FAQs, but experience is otherwise
I think there will always be a number of users (minority) that will not take the time to review FAQs or search, regardless of the size of the button or how much we plead.
I think we might have to start moderating all posts soon and have a large group of moderators who approve the posts before they show up on the boards. What do you think? Too restrictive?
I'm concerned that the board is being made less interesting by all the repeated questions that have been answered time-and-time-again and we are missing opportunites to 'move on' and discuss more interesting issues (for everyone).
