 Posting question threads

I'm sure that everyone has noticed that on the anime & manga disucssion forum, half the page is full of locked topics of people asking things in the wrong place. I know it's it's stated in the rules topic and stuff, but just to make it easier to them, can you like put that rules topic in huge block letters saying "READ HERE OR YOU WILL BE HUNTED DOWN IMMEDIATELY" or something along those lines, because i'm really starting to get irritated by them.

It is not just you who gets iritated by this. I as a member, and then a moderator also gets stumped by such a large number of locked threads. We have discussion threads where people can request a specific anime they can't find or a if the need a recommendation - in fact the threads are the first two on the page. That is the entire point of having it stickied - so that it remains on the top.

It is not exactly our fault if all the new members can't even wait to see what is on the page before hitting the "Post New Topic" button... Infact just right now I see a "werewolf anime", "anime similar to death note", "Help me find this anime"... And we have the latter ones every week. If the forum mods do not lock these threads, I can very well imagine just page 1 having ten "Help me find...."

I don't think there's any way to make it any more obvious than it already is... It could be in bright bolded flashing neon letters and still people would pass over it.

It can be somewhat irritating at times, but you just have to realize that its just a forums and nothing to burst an artery over.

If only people would tkae their time to first browse through the first page or so of every sub-forum, things wouldn't have to be so messy. Just be patient and don't rush into making posts.
