Why in the Blue Hell to people have a hard time

Half the frickin front page is always from people who don't bother to read the, "OS contention and cross-platform debate only." thingy on top of the page.

Are people that dense?

Are people that dense?

Yes. It gets very tiring. I think there should be a way to prevent anyone who's not at least a Centurion from posting a new topic in the BF. It would cut down a lot on the clutter.

Unfortunately this is likely impossible.

I think that these newbs post their support questions there because the BF is at the top of the list of its section.  My recommendation is to move it further down the list (even to the end); I believe that this would preclude nearly all of such posts.

And yes, I think that many people are that dense.  At the Ars OpenTopic page, there is a description for each and every fora, and these posters in question aren't reading it.  Newb or not, that's pretty bad.  I was a newbie there 3 years ago, but I could still read the descriptions and know where I should properly post. :rant:
