Too many posts are anything but ADVANCED
Too many posts are anything but ADVANCED I think the moderators should be more strict as to the posts on this section of the forum...very few of the questions seem to belong and that is coming from me. I am not very smart but very opinionated. HA HA. Chuck
Chuck,
You make a good point. On a typical week, I move about 5 to 7 threads to a more appropriate spot. We've renamed this forum and moved it down to the bottom of the group.
With new threads, if they don't seem to meet the criteria stated in the sticky, I move it as quickly as I can. Old threads that resurface from time to time, I've left alone. I suspect most of the other moderators do the same. This was really a huge problem about six to ten months ago, and inappropriate threads seem to be on the rise again.
I would suggest that if members think that a thread is not appropriate material for this forum, either tell the poster your opinion or don't respond at all and maybe the poster will get the message.
Steve

Back OT, keeping things "advanced" is difficult partly because what may be advanced discussion to one reader is basic information to another. It's like walking into a Physics 404 class without ever taking Physics 101.
I don't know of a foolproof solution other than to move threads like Steve said.
