PD -> Codings for Important Stickeys (11/9/2009 22:56:39)
|
When it comes to questions, most of them can be relevantly answered by quoting the Rules/FAQS of the Forum, and if needed, the Universal Rules.
Sure, you may think there's no problem, but think again - In such forums, like MQ Q&A or AQW Q&A, many of the questions repeat the FAQ's, or violate the Rules. Sure, simply Quoting the FAQ/Rule can do basic stuff, but, what if the poster doesn't believe the answerer, or doesn't know where they got it from? What if the FAQ/Rule contained a link, or even multiple?
I remember Clyde Making a Coding of the FI's FAQ's before FI went bye-bye, so I see it as a reasonable suggestion
I see the Benefits of providing coding:
- The Rule/FAQ would not be undetailed, and would provide necessary link(s)
- The Coding might show them where they got the information from
- Instead of potential answering people trying to lay down the codings to make it look like they got it from an important resource, and only to find out that the thread was locked/deleted by an AK/Mod because inserting and laying down the coding would take too long, it would be quick, instant, as well as convenient, instead of trying to lay down <insert Rule/FAQ Here. for 4 threads that can all be answered by the same FAQ/Rule.
I know it might take a long time to implement this, but, it will pay off in the future, as the answering and responses will be done a lot quickly and accurately when a Rule/FAQ is necessary to be stated.
