Title: A "simple" suggestion
Post by: Bandabear on January 30, 2013, 08:24 am
I know that one is supposed to search the forums to answer questions that one might have. But we all also know that this isn't always done.

It took me quite some time to figure out that I needed 50 posts in this section before I could post elsewhere. I read the stickies in the SR discussion forum because let's face it - I'm here to discuss SR. After reading the stickies, I was ready to ask some questions, but I couldn't post a new topic. I had no idea why and figured searching would be pointless since I couldn't post any questions anyways. Foolish and lazy of me, I know, but it might help direct the flow of discussion traffic to this section if one of the stickies mentions this requirement. If one of the stickies already contains these instructions and I missed it somehow; well maybe that means I'm in way over my head. I don't think that coddling new members is the job of the mods (because it clearly isn't), but a push in the right direction can make a world of difference.

I just hope I'm not actually as foolish as I'm feeling right now!
