So, I've noticed the frustration level rising regarding n00b posts. Since I just joined seddit 2-3 months ago and have only recently started getting active posting with FRs and questions, I'm not familiar how this subreddit was back in the distant past. I agree that there's a lot of very similar posts that could be answered with a quick search or visit to the sidebar. However, having been new and confused and not knowing where to turn, I'm familiar with the desire to get a quick fix, bit of input. The more advanced members of the PUA community here must be sick of seeing them and answering them. I agree. I have a suggestion.

There are some of us (and I include myself) that have done the reading, started to put it into practice, and have started to get involved here. For one reason or another, however, we don't respond too often to other posts because we doubt our skills, esp compared to some of the experienced folks (and we all know who they are - if I try to list them I'll leave someone out and I don't want to do that). That said, we do know enough now to answer these n00b questions, and not by just pointing them to the sidebar but actually relaying our own experiences. Heck, we're closer to where they still are than we may care to admit. That makes our insights more valuable. A little league baseball player will likely get more from a small town coach than from a professional coach who deals with elite superstars.

My proposal is that we newer sedditors commit to this subreddit in the way that people have before us - answer the questions that are in our wheelhouse and watch and learn from the more experienced folks on the more high-level posts. The older folks will feel less need to answer the beginner stuff, the beginners will still get helpful answers, and we up-and-comers will get to give back to the community. Sure, we may dole out the occasional bit of bad advice but, this is the Internet. The voice of the masses should drown out the bits of bad advice and we'll continue to learn from each other.

That's my suggestion.
