Stickies, Stickys .

With the amount of new users coming onto the site and asking the same questions, would it be beneficial to have afew stickys with FAQ's and answers to common questions in them?
It would save a lot of time for people and maybe speed up gathering information.
what do you think?

Re: Stickies, Stickys .

I think yes and no; I think it is benificial to the community as a whole to "tollerate" the repetitive questions as it gives new members a chance to meet the older hands here and feel welcome, also even old conversation sometimes brings up new ideas that otherwise may not surface. Then if it would stop the same old scuba/freedive spearing argument, then yeah Im all for it

Re: Stickies, Stickys .

I meant forum wise, You know a kind of charter where posters read the charter first and then post.
The usual type of sticky , no political, offensive, or scuba vs freedive spearing threads,No personal attacks, blah blah blah...

Re: Stickies, Stickys .

So like our Forum rules? http://forums.deeperblue.net/faq.php...#faq_faq_rules



I know what you mean - i'll probably spend some time this weekend reviewing the stickies in various forums as some are very old. To be honest though we are likely to improve the FAQ more than create stickies as it is a central holding place for information rather than dozens of seperate threads.

Re: Stickies, Stickys .

I wouldn't like too many stickies - having two or three in a forum is ok but more than that would make it more difficult to use, as regular users would have to scroll down the stickies to find the new threads.
