I agreed with your (Jakesean) point of having forum is to help others on their problems, and/or knowledge-sharing... that is the major purpose of it.
It is definitely on individual mentality that if one would search for a thread or not in a forum before any posting, which I believe most of the
forums nowadays do have "PINNED" or "STICKY" thread of it; same thing goes with the AU forum you posted.




Unfortunately, looks like MOD in [ AppleByte ] nor [ iPhone ] sub-forum, it seems like no MODs are doing their jobs here (no offense to the MOD).
Why I said so ? if those repetitively posted Qs are there, MODs can merge them all together, or at least make it more organized, isn't it ?

Perhaps what makes LYN and Whirlpool is, the mentality of forumers choose to SEARCH and READ before they posts any.
I reckon there are some noob/newbies does that in Whirlpool (correct me if i'm wrong), but at least there ain't so many as compare to LYN. Why ?
This proves that Whirlpool forumers are more mature in the sense, they do SEARCH and READING first, right ?

We all understand why newbie/noob keeps questioning Qs that have been posted (so many), yet most of them do not want to search and read at
all... that makes most of the seniors here are so frustrating with their "spoonfeed" attitudes. Most of us here can't do much on their mindsets problem,
but at least we can try to educate them with some posting to ask them to Search and Read first.

To me, it has something to do with someone's will that keen to read up or not, if he/she wishes to get his/her problems solved.
All of us here only with ONE purpose, which is to share our own knowledge with others. Unfortunately, most of the newbies/noobs
take their own liberty to bypass and skip it, no even thinking of the hardwork of our contributions here, instead seeking for a shortcut → Spoonfeeding.

This is merely my stand of views.... no flaming to anybody here. Just hope that every forumers here RESPECT each other, also APPRECIATE the contributions by any one of us.

Hopefully through forum, we manage to increase our knowledges besides working and studying. Peace out

well.... I think we all must stop this now. No points arguing due to the noobs/newbies Qs, which might probably distract our 'relationship' here.

Let's stay as what it is.... cos we all can't do much indeed if newbies/noobs always have the same attitudes → straight away ask Qs without even reading some.

Cool down all....

perhaps, he/she won't be back afterall....

it has become an issue since newbies/noobs DO NOT read/search for related threads and do their reading before posting.

Let's see how this thing goes...
Most people love to choose shorcut way, don't you think so ?

softer approach... Yes. Though, it's case by case basis.
Will try to... we all can't change things overnight.

time will prove

every single individual has different perspective on 1 thing, even the same one.
so, it it pointless to argue anymore on such topic as I can see.

Just let what had happened past... move on for what coming next.

so, pls stop cos we won't gain anything from it. pleeeaaasssee.... ?
