Theory on over-abundance of retards asking questions about halo 2. (And how to change)

********MODS: Read the final section. I'm not flamming anyone, just pointing out some things that are getting on my and a lot of other peoples nerves. Thanks********

After spending a lot of my day puzzling over this question (j/k) I have come to the conclusion that the reason that there are so many retarded Halo 2 questions is because of a growing number of idiotic fools who cannot look at other posts and see what is written. (DUH!!!)
Also, the new members of this forum are (not ripping on anyone) PROBABLY newer halo players. From there, they think that any idea that they have about halo/Halo 2, is revolutionary, where in fact tons of other members have the same idea. Those ideas have been readily discussed and flammed. (After the 50th poll about the pistol it gets old, Hint Hint)
Now, the easist way to change this would require about five to ten minutes of your day, (The first day on the forum.) All you have to do is search (that is looking at old pages in the forum) for any questions you might have. Odds are you will find it answered. It is what I do on every forum I join, along with MANY other people who make intelligent posts and don't get flammed. It is that simple!

Spartan_Zero: Here is your thread. LOL!

Welcome to Spam land. nobody will follow this, nobody will even see this, people write what they say because they think they should, but don't get mad at it, it's just what people are giong to do... forget about it.

It seems like everyone starts a thread for every little question they have, it creates an extremely obscene amount of traffic. Seriously, in 24 hours, I've seen a thread drop all the way to the eighth page! Usually, there are two or three of the same thread topics in the first two pages.

I know what you two are saying. I just wish that there was a way filter out certain topics (like with certain words.)

Another idea is, when you register, the page you go to is a F.A.Q. type page, where all the same questions are written down, along with the answers. In order to post, You have to send a P.M. to a MOD, who's sole responsibility is to read through those P.M.'s and decide whether to activate your account or ask you to read through it again.

In the P.M. You must re-write every question down, showing that you looked through it.
You also have to add something to the effect of "I promise not to spam the boards with threads like this."

What do you all think?

And it seems that every other thread is someone asking, "Will the Pistol be back in Halo 2?"

Grrrr....
