I hate it when people create topics to ask questions that have already been answered. I know they're often by newbies and hence can be forgiven to a certain degree, but the whole idea of the Q&A topic and FAQs is so that General Discussion can remain free of trivial topics. A recent example would be Sean creating a topic in FS&H about rankings, which appeared just two or three topics below Abe Babe's explanatory post. I know it's not entirely right to mention it in the rules, but can't we include something in the introductory emails to new members to advice them to look at the FAQs and other important threads?
