When looking at the current Questions in the Forum there are many Questions the same. I don't know why People Post a new Question when there is already the same there. Can't you read???

For example: "No work from Project" or "ZERO CREDITS"

There should be a possibility to delete or merge such Questions because this is flooding the boards and make them unreadable.

To all of those who want to post a Question just read the last 10-15 Headlines. If there is nothing what is related to your Question then start a new post. If there Is a Question that is similar to yours click on "I have the same Question" and post your Addition or Experience there.

Thanks.

Valid point, however people appear to be inherently lazy. It's easier to just ask, than spend any effort doing research. ;-)

I'd like to be able to compare the number of "active" users, to the hitcount on Paul's FAQ pages.....I don't think I'd be surprised by the outcome. :(

IMHO, to achieve what you are suggesting would suggest the formation of forum moderators. Wouldn't this just burden someone else with extra effort, because <I>some</I> people are lazy?
