In recently perusing the forums (fora?) it seems like some questions keep cropping up with the same answers. I don't mind helping anyone out, but it seems like a lot of unnecessary threads get started, which makes it harder to find the information we're all looking for.

It seems like a lot of this could be avoided by setting up a "sticky" thread that always shows up at the top of the forum, that at least summarizes some important ways of getting information, including:

1) Using the search functions of the forum
2) Searching the wiki
3) Checking the documentation (maybe point out sections that are often overlooked, or whose titles are not intuitive)
4) Guidelines for posting (though we'd need to have admins to enforce these) etc...

If visitors and new members to the community had a better idea of where to find information, we might see a reduction of unnecessary posts. I'd be willing to help put some time into this, but only if it is possible and desirable by the community.

So how about it eh?
