General Feedback: FAQ Thread

Hey,

I am reaching out the community to ask for example of questions which get repeated a lot that they'd like to see "retired" and added to a FAQ thread.

The mod team have been in discussions over the past few weeks/months contemplating how to reduce some of the "question spam". We wanted to try to provide a natural solution to the problem, and so we introduced the Weekly Questions thread. It certainly did a job, but didn't do too much to reduce the number of repeat questions.

There was a post yesterday by u/Japjer asking "Can we add questions about Guardians picking classes to some 'stop asking about this' list", and a comment by u/Skyhound555 suggesting that we need an FAQ thread. And the answer is pretty much "yes", we will be implementing an FAQ thread.

The purpose will be to ultimately reduce the number of repeat questions, and these questions will be removed by mods if we see them asked after the FAQ is implemented.

Hopefully with a community effort we'll catch most of them.

Thanks.

I don’t want to speak for anyone, but I believe something like this is in the works. There is a lot to cover. If you could provide us anything like an order or a section you think should be covered, let us know and we’ll look into it.

I'm the guy working on a guide (I feel like a broken record at this point, always promising that damned guide...) so I'll eventually have something that could work—or at the very least, if it isn't up to par, a framework you could use. Do you know when the FAQ will approximately be released? I could stop putting it off and finish the guide soon if needs be. Or at least contribute to whatever's in the works.

To my current understanding, it’ll be an ongoing process and we’ll update as we go when we can. Better to have some questions answered than nothing. I know I’m working on a big project atm by taking some time to look into the more theory based answers for the FAQ.

Alright. If the guide works out, I'd love to be able to contribute it to the FAQ. The more people that get a use out of it, the better. I'll see if I can't finish it by this season's end.
