BL have you been drinking/ smoking or both?

I don't mind helping, but it's annoying when people post a cheap intro thread, ask a question, get help and find what they need, then peace out.

I think we're making a rod for our own backs with the "No intro-No helpie" ruling. It's good one in principle, one I agree with to some extent but the reality is most people will just circumvent it by posting up some two-bit,weak-ass, one-line intro then start elevnty million threads asking the same old played-out questions. They've no intention of contributing once they're got the help they need and we don't really need their intro either. We just end up with a forum full of wack intro threads from people we'll never hear from, which just makes the place messy.

Mods, could we not have a dedicated "quick question thread" so randoms can just swing by and grab some help (if we're feeling generous) or maybe we could remove a noob's right to start threads until they've been here a week or two and we've had chance to work out if they're a bit of a knobber or not?

Having said all that, where would we be without comedy gold threads like Adolf's and that "BOW DOWN AND KISS THE RING" guy.
