Same Question Threads? - Valaro - 12-13-2009
Hi Guys,
Should I start closing threads that ask the same questions and start deleting them or putting them into an archive at the bottom of the main forum?
RE: Same Question Threads? - Gerik - 12-13-2009
Lock them and link the poster to the FAQs List if the question can be answered there, I guess. After that, you could probably archive them, but I doubt anyone would look in it since new people don't know how to use the search function.
You could just make a basic message to include in locked threads (also could save that message in notepad or some shit so you can easily copy/paste it again lol), containing the FAQs link (if needed) and a little note telling them to try the search function before posting.
Just my two cents.

RE: Same Question Threads? - komosis - 12-13-2009
I agree with Gerik, link to FAQ and lock.

Never delete, that is community management 101. Either archive or do like the others have said above

RE: Same Question Threads? - Valaro - 12-14-2009
So far it seems we are going to be archiving the posts.
Thanks for the replies. Im going to keep the thread open a few more days and then Ill make a decision with Neo & Morpheus.
Thanks
Val
