Re: re: forums and community commons

I suspect that this is just a subject that we'll have to agree to 
disagree on. On behalf of my take on the issue though, I doubt that the 
same person will ask questions twice. The warning and peer pressure 
should keep repeat offenders in line. I'm more concerened about 
presenting a friendly atmosphere to a newcomer who doesn't know about 
the forums. Also, I think that difficult questions will have to be asked 
in the forums anyway. I suspect that advanced users spend more time in 
the forums, and intermediate users spend more time in the wiki. When 
you're answering questions in the forum, you have to be about 99% 
correct. When you're making a article for the wiki, you only have to be 
about 90% correct, and you can wait for somebody else to fill in the 
remaining 10%. So an easy question could be answered without bothering 
the big brains in the forums. A hard question will have to be punted 
there anyway. Like my sig in the forums says, I reserve the right to be 
completely and utterly wrong about anything I say.
