a questions topic

[nerd1]

recently, I have noticed that many players newer to the game have been posting their questions in the general discussion. While I believe there is nothing incorrect with this; I used to do it myself, I think having a forum section dedicated entirely to answering questions would reduce some of the clutter, as well as make it easier for new players to find the answers to their questions. Who's with me?

Hmm, I was going to suggest this but I forgot.

Yes, many forums have Q&A boards. This would make a good addition in my opinion.

So essentially this thread (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,21501.0.html)?

It probably just needs to get stickied and put in the forum FAQ. Problem (mostly) solved.

yes, but I doubt newbies would enjoy scanning through pages of posts. A Q&A section would make things neater.

People just post their questions at the end of the thread without reading anything earlier anyway.

exactly. If there was a Q&A section, then the most prominent question, being re-asked, would already be visible, so less questions would be asked.

Um, no. People would just continue to make new threads anyway, regardless of which threads are visible. Just take a look at the Game Suggestions and Feedback and Report a Bug sections. There's so many repeats that it's not even funny.

I've used the same method with War and WoE and it works pretty well as long as there are not too many questions. We will implement this shortly.
