Idea for Improvement

Just a thought I had. In Moderation and Technical, there are always repeats of questions. Example: "I want my old nation back, where do I go?". The same questions get answered over and over when there really shouldn't be a need to.

That said, I propose a new thread entitled "Read this before posting: Answers to Your Questions" that will list all the questions and their answers taken from threads where they have been answered already. These questions will be organized by category (IE: UN, Role Play, etc..).

Now for an example:

I have a question, I read this new thread to see that my question is in there. I read the answer, but I'm not satisfied. But instead of making a new thread about it, I would post the question, and my problem with the answer and a request for clarification of it.

Another example:

I have a question, I read this new thread to see that my question is not in it. In this case, I would start a new topic in which the question would be answered, then the author of "Read this before posting: Answers to YOUR Questions" or a Moderator would take the question and answer and put it in the appropriate category.

(Feel free to ask for a clarification on any of this. It was 6:30am when I wrote this/thought of it, and I'm mumbling.)

Just have warnings.

Say above your post


If this question is answered in the Stickies and you ask a pointless question then if you do this twice in a short time, your account will be deleted. Pretty simple.
