This forum should get something similiar to the steampowered forums where you need to click I Agree to a user agreement form which states youve already searched for the item youre about to post about, before you post it.

Either that or have a huge pop up for any member under 100 posts or something saying "SEARCH 1st DAMMIT!"

heh...

Hey, I take offence to that. Not every noob asks stupid questions without searching or doing work themselves first.

Not every noob is a dumbass. Its just the dumbass noobs make the rest of us look bad

Also, I know you weren't trying to be a jerk or anything, the noobs that just post questions without searching p*** everyone off, especially those of us who work hard to make this work, and others just expect it handed to them on a silver platter.
