Every app should have it's own sub-forum under the "apps" forum

Here is the evil moderator again.
Drawing the line here.
This topic is about a suggestion for a forum change.
Off topic post will be deleted without further notice.
Any problems with evil moderators can be shared via PM or reported directly to Athom.

Sorry, but this is exactly where it goes wrong, the users are the people that payed money to get a product and thus made sure the lights are still on in Athom HQ. In fact, this community exists by the grace of its users so as long as they show respect and communicate in a normal mature way we can not blame them for not following ‘our rules’ and have to accept their first steps in this community differ from how we would like to see it.
If we see a question that has been asked before, either answer it (perhaps with a link to the other thread) or move on. There is nothing won with bashing a newcomer, only lost because the newcomer will get a very bad first experience with our community and a negative first experience is very hard to fix. The next newcomer will also not be helped because he/she will not search and thus find the post.

(I specifically use the we form in this post and not the you form because I feel every community member has this responsibility)

Who is bashing newcomers? The ones that point out (how) to use the search and even take the time to post a link to a possible answer get bashed. Not by the newbies, but by other “senior” members… So far for the community (we ALL help to thrive) spirit…
And then the “ignore the question” part. If we all do that, how would that help to leave a good first impression for the new users???
