Reply to "Forum Etiquette Help for New Members"

John, sorry if you think I'm implying something is broken, I'm not.  This forum is great!  I'm simply looking to condense many of the great suggestions for its usage.  Using the example "My train broke how do I fix it" type of post lacking any meaningful detail about which you started a topic called "Clairvoyance and Problem Solving".  I think there are some great Suggestions in that thread.  There are other posts with great suggestions too which also aren't in the TOS Guidelines and may not be easy to discover for new members.

So just like our layouts, that aren't broke, we still keep working on them to make improvements.  That what I'm proposing, a compilation of Suggestions, not more rules.

FWIW, these suggestions have been posted countless times, I don't think posting them one more time is going to make a significant difference.  I don't think many new people wade through the mountains of sticky threads in every forum now, adding one to the list isn't going to make that happen, at least IMO.

I'm not saying you don't have a point, but I seriously doubt a posting about it is going to change anything.  I've moderated forums for many years, and I've had very limited success in a "magic" posting that clears up all the clouds and makes every posting clear as day.
