A noble goal.
However you make one assumption which isn't valid.
Most of the questions posted ARE from mentors.
Should there be some sort of intelligence test, before you get a Q&A password? Maybe a reading exam?  |
Agreed, but I wonder how many of those same people visit this site and will even know of your plea Joe. I suggest that the mods of the Q&A place all of "those" questions in a separate folder/location labeled "Answered in Manual" or "READ the Manual!" or something similar, AND
INCLUDE the identity and team number of the person asking the question. Require a verified (automated) individual/team login in addition to the password to help control and positively identify the perpetrators
