Christian,

I have also seen this happen on more than one occassion as well. The "signal to noise ratio" on the C# forum (particularly) but also the .NET Framework and Windows Forms forums has gotten extremely high, to the point that it is sometimes hard to spot the legitimate questions.

Short of implementing some sort of waiting period for new members before they can post questions, I don't know of a solution. The "View unanswered questions" feature isn't really an option here because it will still suffer from the higher percentage of "monkey questions" being asked.

To make matters worse, I see a lot of these same people posting responses to other questions that are completely wrong (but sometimes have an "air of authority" that makes them sound reasonable/correct) and the right answers can then sometimes get lost in the weeds.

Just my 2 cents worth. It certainly won't stop me posting responses or asking questions, even if I do sometimes have to ask them more than once, because there are still a lot of people here that know what they are talking about and provide good responses when they are able.

A while ago you Chris Maunder posted a message in the lounge (http://www.codeproject.com/lounge.asp?Page=2&userid=157870&mode=all&select=2137020&df=100&forumid=1159&fr=12834.5#xx2137020xx[^]) about some possible changes to the forums. What was the end result of that?

Thanks,

Scott.
