Since this seems to be a difficult thing to do lately with how many repost threads the mods have been locking down I thought I might try to do them a favor.

Step 1: notice the brightly circled areas

Step 2: If you are brave and use the advanced function you see this

People who didn't use search or read the FAQ wont read this either, unfortunately.

Seriously???? Bump for the sanity of all of us who actually read the dev blogs and do searches for our questions that have been asked 20 times before...this is getting out of hand!

WHAT!?!? You mean there's a search bar!?!?


+1 Chinook for the attempt, but unfortunately too many people are going to ignore this just as much as they ignore the search bar in hopes of getting an immediate response instead of doing any leg work.

maybe they will pin this thread .. but they are right...

They always 'say' they searched but never look before they leap... So I say put up spike pit traps! when they do leap.. they will be looking other wise they leap into a spike pit trap XD

i say make everyone that posted in this thread forum admins and we just start deleting all of the duplicates and send the perpetrators a mail telling how to use the search function. Then we decrease their post count to -10 with the title of noob spammer.

This is why moderators are interviewed, tortured, tempted and tested.

Let me guess, if you don't delete the thread and title the OP you don't get the job?

Chinook, You sir, just made my day. Thank you very much. This needs to be stickied in some type of futile attempt to stop double posts of topics.

Why not add an eye-catching cute girl (or an urbanmech) drawing using flash that overlays the forums that points to the search bar with a caption "Got a question? Try searching first!" for anyone with a post count of under say... 20-50? :huh:
