I put to you though, that the people who click on a thread that says "What engine fits in a RA28" knowing full well the answer and posting "Do a search" would most likely be a hell of a lot less frustrated if they moved along to a thread that is interesting for them and left the newbie threads to be answered by the members who are happy to answer them.

Yes ignoring them is one option... hell I even reply properly (i.e. not "do a search") to quite a few, however, its when faced with a whole page of crap that I get the shits.

Basically what I see is a situation of people being pissed off about the dodgy things rather than enjoying the good things. Sure we could make it so you couldn't post in tech and conversions or for sale for the first XX amount of posts but then we would miss out on a lot of the cool things. Who'd know about the 4WD 1UZ MA-61 if the guy couldn't post about it because he didn't have enough posts? I'm sure there is a hell of a lot of people who have bought things off people with not a lot of posts and got a bargain for themselves as well.

I didn't think this guy posted a tech write up or technical question regarding the car... I thought it was just a "hey check out what I did" type post.
If that was the case it should have been posted in general car talk or members rides anyways.
We are facing the same problem with "techs & conversions" as we did with parts for sale a while back.
Stuff gets posted so quickly that before you know it the thread has dissappeared off the page.
I suggest we split "Techs & Conversions" into at least 3 categories including:
*FAQ - Only moderators or "Technical Posters" (mods with access only to the tech forums like Ed) can post or move threads from elsewhere here.
*General Maintainance - Questions such as "what oil do I stick in XYZ" and "How do I adjust my handbrake cable" etc. go here.
*Modifications - Anything involving conversions or "modifications"... e.g. Does a GZE fuel rail fit onto a 4AGE 100kW
Have a decent description above each of the tech forums to ensure people know what goes where.
Also we should change to Invision Powerboard from Fudgedforums and use features like the "warning" system where you can allocate a warning point to someone when they do something stupid... you give people up to say 5 warning points and if they repetively break the rules they get auto banned.
This will also stop people from wondering why they got banned.
