I always thought if someone want help he must at least to do that in the right way (the right way is what we decide). The problem is every day i see 2-3 years old users making the same faults and thinking only how to receive more without doing nothing (well this is common for people not only in forums) and i don't believ users not able to understand after 5-6 warnings for wrong section where to post requests will prepare a request using PG and giving all details.
The dilema is between:
Users doesn't respect the rule and in this case the post will be deleted and they will not receive help. I don't realy care about and i only tell you this is the every day situation. I'm for teaching the users to respect the rules and not to add work to moderators or to users trying to help.
After years seeing users receiving PM's, comments in profile and warnings without effect the result will be less answers because many request will be deleted.
The second option is what Admin asked. The user answering a request will do in the right way and in the right place creating a new thread if needed. The problem is less users will make this effort and they will be the same posting even without requests.
I don't understand why the moderators must be the good posters too but this is a fact. I don't think the moderators are the slaves of the naggers asking and asking and is enough if they answer to request too (posting an answer) without doing the dirty work for others if they answer not acording to rule #17.
The moderators work is to give the rules, to apply the rules and to help and not to correct every post for others.
