How about driving all the knowledgable people away from the forum because they are sick of all the repeat questions?
NJB, if your friend quit the forum because of me... oh well... he could have filtered me out.
I participate in many forums where the first 10 posts are moderated... and you know what? They are great forums... there is no BS, no begging, no crying, no idiots... Just good information in *every* thread.
Give me a time out if you want... I don't really care.
By having a moderator approve or disapprove a post doesn't scare people away. If a post is disapproved, a PM can be sent to the person explaining why it was disapproved with a link to a thread where it has already been answered. It's not that tough or scary.
Either way... what is counterproductive is filling the forum with the same stuff over and over.
NJB... who quit? I'll shake their hand.
cd.
