I think the solution is nothing new. Before you post in a thread, read the whole thread(within reason, I'm not expecting anyone to read an entire game hint thread

). After you've done that, read your post, and if you are not adding anything new to the discussion, just don't click "submit reply." Often what happens is someone starts a thread, and within an hour there's 20 posts that say pretty much the same thing. With time, I think we can make CD a friendlier place.
