Linux - General should be renamed...


Well, most threads in this forum are coming from that forum. Maybe if it was renamed, people would stop (mis)posting there all the time...

Don't post in the WQ&S forum. I have reported this post to the mods and it should be moved.

Or could it be , people might actually put a little effort in thinking and reading the forum-header , before they post?
To me , the difference is quite clear.

Νο Ι don't. But if it is not renamed, then people will keep mis-posting there...

LinuxSeeker - speaking cynically, we could use bright red font colours, capital letters, warnings and really simple language in the headers, the forum could be renamed "Linux-General for those technical questions that don't quite fit in the other technical sections" and people would still post questions in there which need to be moved.

Linux-General is a fine name for the forum and we mods are there for those people who just can't read instructions.
