I realize but . . .
I realise how mundane and anoying those posts get but I too was once one of those noobs about 2 years ago and I got flamed big time I couldnt tell the dirffrence from the server program and just playing on other servers. (At that time I couldnt get it through my head I didn't need special software to play on servers no matter how many times I read the Faq.) Even the Faq was confusing to me at that time I was really green. Now I understand much more and have even started tinkering with stuff myself.
Mabe we could just delete the threads not ban? mabe an automated filter of some type that looks for keywords how do i download eqemu and derivitives of such? That responds somthing like You dont need to download just do this LINK --to a script that edits eqhosts and adds shortcut with patchme to desktop-- and then deletes the post in a few days
(note: I have almost no knowlege if that is possible but it might be and if not disreguard this)
I think noobies should be encoraged to learn even the dense ones they may yet bloom. Im guessing many of them are yonger age groups that may yet become somwhat computer savy I didnt use a computer untill I was 14 (family didn't have the money for one thats why I was very computer stupid for longer than usual) Now if they start getting punchy and spam the forum ban them if not I dont see the grounds for a banning myself. I see the grounds for a highschool computer class nothing more.
<Note: This is just my opinion and sugestion I am not flaming the idea of baning them.>
