Open if you need help.

Your thread is a good idea.
But I am pretty sure it will be burried far away from page 1. As long as a thread is not in the first 5-10, most people will not see it.

The ones that open the "need help" threads don't read the rules in the most cases, don't read the FAQ and don't care for something else as that they get the answer delivered on the silver plate without to invest 5 seconds of "work".

So i expect your friendly thread and nice idea will bring, sadly, nothing or nearly nothing.

Appreciate the gesture but I agree with the others.

The only thing that might help would be a pop up for the newbies before they make a discussion post.

Feeling stuck or have a question in mind? Check out the FAQs or utilise the Search bar to see if your query has already been answered!

This or a pinned 'Help' thread.

Good idea in theory. In practice though, people who search, will find almost everything answered already and people who don't search, won't find this one either. So unfortunately it won't make a noticeable difference. But kudos to you for wanting to help!

I'dd add on top of that, that a thread that centralizes all the different infos (how to create a giveaway, how to create/solve puzzles, how to manage tables, how to set up ESGST, what's a calling out ) would be useful at least for me.

As many said, when you search something, you find it. But if everything was at the same place, that would be easier

It's kind of you. I honestly think it won't help much, but it surely does not hurt. If it helps one person, well, it is one person helped!

Cheers!
