@bmoran4 posted:The initial inquiry was adequately answered over a year ago. Then a extremely tangential question about paint came up which really should have been its own topic "What paint should I use to....". And then you have yet another few followups on the initial year old inquiry that rehash what was already presented.
How would a warning stop this?
In the spirit of so much innovation going on with data analysis currently, I could see a very nice Artificial Intelligence (AI) project coming our of your suggestion, i.e. have a computer analyze the thread to date, decide where it's headed, and not allow any wandering by preventing a follow-on post from being made unless it makes sense.
Now, how do we train it to know accurately and precisely what "Does it make sense?" means?
(I don't think that our staid old hobby is quite ready for this, but who knows?)
