Philosophical Board Management Question #30004

[amykhar]

Member posts on your board asking a stupid question that you have answered a thousand times before for other members. A simple search would have given them their answer in a heartbeat.

Their post shows signs of limited intelliegence because they have poor grammar and spelling, have a "hacker elite" type name, or otherwise show themselves to be less than bright.

You are a moderator. How do you handle it?

On my forum, it would be option 2

My members have a tendency to search and post the relevant link for me

[mheinemann]

I'll sometimes do

= Link

Then close it.

[N9ne]

I take it no one sighs heavily and posts the answer again?

[amykhar]

That's what I do around here N9ne. Well, and put sarcasm in my sig line

At vBT I often reply with just "Search." Then they yell at me complaining, but my motto is also "Search and ye shall find" just like Erwin

People are just lazy and want to be spoon-fed.

Erwin, here is the buffoon that triggered this post. Would one of you level-headed moderators go do whatever it is you do to such clowns before I reach through my montitor and choke him?

Sorry, but sometimes I think you and Xenon are the only mods in this place. (and then delete this please. I'm not perpetually crabby. I promise)
