Re: Please Read The Manual !!

I have a request for the moderators and another one for the posters.

I know all of you are extremely busy with your team and posting messages, but please try to do the following things:

Moderators: please lock up the simple question threads once they are properly answered. There is no need to add any more into those threads if the person got what they need.

Posters: Yes, I know it is frustrating that people ask questions without reading the maneul. But instead of just telling them "read the manuel", please answer their questions, and use EXACT QUOTE from the rule book. It doesn't help if you answer with "I think" or "maybe". This will get people to read the manuel more often, and train them to think in terms of the rules and finding the answers in the right place. Tell them which rule section to look at, and put down the rule number. It is nice that you are trying to help, but make sure you are giving useful information.

Remember, the important thing to do is to reduce the post count in the question threads so it don't resurface again and again and flood the forum.
