As long as all of that is done, great.

No one's arguing that. But you can teach them what those forums are for while still offering your help. I've done it before. I've done it with people who are now regular posters on the boards - and they now post in the proper forums. You answer the question, and say something like "Just fyi, in the future, questions like this should go in the New to the Game forum". You don't say "I refuse to help you unless you post in the New to the Game forum." Last edited by Fyrestorm3; 01-15-2014 at 12:56 PM. |

Which is why I don't worry about the latter group.

But as long as you honor BIG17EASY's list of things to do, I'm cool with it.

BIG17EASY's heartily endorsed checklist
1. Answer the question. 2. Tell the OP to use the proper forum next time. 3. Ask a mod to move the original thread to the proper forum.

I should have written "tend to wander off on their own."

Yep, okay, you're barely even reading my posts. Because that's exactly what I'm endorsing. I honestly cannot believe we're having a debate over whether to help newbies or not. Way to prove Joe's point. |

So tell them that they're in the wrong forum when they are and ask a mod to move the thread. Is that too much to ask of you?

And it's not about WHETHER to do so, it's about the best way to do so for all concerned.

I'm on board with TELLING them that they posted in the wrong forum and ALWAYS asking a mod to move an inappropriate thread. Not with hinting at it to them (I've seen way to many hints ignored) and maybe asking a mod to move a thread. You and I agree with each other, but he doesn't agree with either of us.

It was style and procedure, not substance.

You know what, I'm done. Wolf, you know I rarely have a problem with you, but right now, you are admirably demonstrating why so many users have you on their ignore lists. |

In fact, he did exactly what he was asked not to do just now. A user used his 8th post on the forum to ask a question and Wolf used it as an opportunity to attack the way he phrased it.
I guess he didn't want to 'coddle' him. |

Sample reply:
Yes, and you can change that in X. There is a separate forum for new user questions and answers, and this question should have been asked in that forum instead of in the main one. Can we get a mod to move this thread there, please?
