Levak, when people ask questions on Omnimaga, you are not allowed to tell them to just JFGI or search an entire website. You direct them to the answer or answer them on the forums. If you don't want to do that then you don't help. This is rude to the new members who are starting out. At Omnimaga, "RTFM"-type posts are not tolerated unless someone asks how to install a specific game and the instructions are all clearly available in the readme.

* Levak has to change his mind ... done

Though, it wasn't an "entire" website, since we have only 4 tutorials that helped many people (I didn't expected so much). Thus I think he should read those, because they weren't very long, before starting and asking those question. I really like the RTFM method, since it really helps people searching by themselves. It is evident that, when there is no answer, or the answer is really complicated, we help this person, since he will search for many hours and doesn't find it afterall and come back again.

I'm sure we can come between those two ideas =)

Ah ok, I thought a lot of the stuff from Hackspire was already included. However, what I don't like about the RTFM thing is that it scares away new members and programmers, as it feels to them they're not given a chance. Eventually they give up or leave in some cases, and that happened before on some other boards. It even reached the point where some people who saw it happening on other boards and that it was encouraged by staff decided to migrate here because it felt friendlier. As a result, that site almost lost its entire userbase within half a year and is now pretty much a ghost town.

Also it was one of the first time that person asks questions anyay. When someone repeatdely ask simple questions that got answered many times here, then I'm in for a RTFM (as long as it's polite).
