in reply to Reducing the number of nodes that have the same question as last week

That means someone will have to create nodes named 'newbie', 'HELP!!!!!', 'DEBUG PLZ!!!', and 'what is the problem!' with pointers to the FAQ, right?

In all seriousness, this is a pretty good idea. Perhaps we could add a user flag that's only present until the monk reads the search documentation, checks a checkbox, and submits the form. If the flag is present, show the warning.

<quotable> I'm all for increasing the number of hoops a new user has to jump through, if they're clearly labelled with signs saying "Make your life easier: learn to read the manual." </quotable>
