It would probably be best to direct your post to the person who made the original reference to ADMIN/Seniors as I totally agree with you that "Nobody here should be particularly responsible for answering the questions but everybody should be actively involved in helping each other and discussing issues they are facing". I only made reference to "ADMIN/Seniors" simply because that's the term used by the original poster (thats I why I even referenced the term in quotes).
Like I have said though, I don't agree with duplicate post/questions. I don't mind the occasional duplicate post/questions......but as you can see from the various threads/posts on this forum, duplicates are not occasional, duplicates are the norm.
I completely disagree with you that knowledge spreads by answering the same question over and over (even if it is someone else that is answering the same question). Afterall, what would be the purpose of creating a FAQ (Frequently Asked Question) section where "newbies" can go to find answers to their frequently asked questions then?
The "knowledge" becomes fragmented/corrupted when the same questions are being asked and answered over and over, no new knowledge is being added and documented. Nothing new is being learnt.
I hardly even post or come to the forum anymore, simply because there isn't any new original questions being asked or discussed. I hardly learn anything from the forum anymore, simply because no new questions are being answered. It's like I am not contributing anything to the forum anymore and I am not gaining anything from the forum anymore....besides, I also really don't like going off topic (like I have probably just done).
What is so difficult with a "newbie" at least doing some research before posting a question? You have to also understand what makes (some) "ADMIN/Seniors" reluctant to even answer (some) duplicate questions, the reluctance is likely based on the fact that after reading the question you can clearly see that the person asking the question was just too lazy to take a few minutes to check Google or search the forum....the person simply just went ahead and started a new thread asking a question that's been answered 10-20 times before....or the person just went ahead and created a new post in a thread (e.g, FSW 2013 Applicants Timeline- Lets Network Here) asking a question that's been answered 10-20 times before in the same thread.....a perfect example of this can be seen in the FSW 2013 Applicants Timeline- Lets Network Here thread.....just go through a few of the pages and you will see.
Should have done this initially, anyway, just want to also add +1 for ursk2792's first response to the original post:
