[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Duck duck DEATH [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] bobcast Know what you want to write about. Don't create a topic that you're ill informed about or have no sources for. The forums know when you don't know what you're talking about, and they will try and tear you apart for it.[/quote]What if the topic of the thread is a question or inquiry? If a user wants to ask a question on say, a system of ranks, and there is no thread/sticky/search result for it, isn't it bad advice to ask them to only post if they are knowledgeable on the topic?[/quote] I'd advise that they make an informed inquiry. Asking a question isn't frowned upon as long as the question something like, "Can ducks drive dump trucks?" I think it'll be ok.
