Could someone do something about the stupid posts and stupid codebase entries that have appeared in the last couple of days? For example, in the codebase there is one on how to make a title page using the 'print' command....all of three lines. There is another that is asking questions!!!!! with no code!!!!!

Come on newbies! We're all here to help, but why make a nuisance of yourselves. Use the forums and codebases correctly and people will be more willing to help!

And before you post at least make an effort to read the stickies and use the search.

This happens on every forum - human nature is to want answers as quickly as possible, and with the path of least resistance.

Some people accept this and will never grow tired of helping - others just try to put then down and use terms like "n00b" or however you spell it.

Thankfully, it seems the latter are in the minority here, which is a good thing.

If I have a question, and I cannot find the answer (whether it is staring me in the face or not) I am going to ask the question - regardless.

That said, I have seen a few of the "how do I make a game then?" sort of posts which do beggar belief - but best thing to do with them is just ignore them.
