New posters

Im just wondering if people come here and can't read or don't know where to post things.
Recently I've seen a ton of people post truck tech, motor tech, etc posts here
They are smart enough to register but not read the rules and the guidelines?
I was just curious as to what you other girls/guys thought about this.
Do they not care, or are they in a hurry, or are they hard to read?
As i have no problem reading them.
I think out of my time here, I've only misplaced a post 2 or 3 times
And that was by accident, or because it covered 2 topics and it got moved

I posted one on Friday about whether peoples ABS brakes seemed to work OK.

Did it here cause this is where the most people are, was kind of a POLL to see if it was just my truck or everyones.

i usually see those out of place posts and tell them to post in the right forum. That usually fixes them.

Yea, that's what I was asking.
Im not going to point fingers, as everyone makes a mistake sometimes, but I see a certain post twice in the same forum, one was a reply to a post i had made.
But anyways... Just wondering what you guys/girls thought

maybe it is just the pure excitement of finding such a great ford sight that as they are drooling...they forget to post it in the right place...other than that I don't know...I read thru alot of the forums before I ever joined...seemed easy to me.

Like I said many times before.
Once people find the site,
They practically pee their pants trying to get their question posted.
This cause some of the mis-posting.
That's always why we have so many moderator's.


It seems like user's also mis-post questions in the Pig Pen

Something that could have been in GC or a Truck forum.

sometimes pig pen or GC is a little bit of a decision, but the tech stuff-if you can't figure out which forum it goes in you prolly should do more reading before you post.

its amazing, but reading can cure stupidity

I've noticed the posting of things in the wrong place too and came to the same conclusion that others have; they person is all excited and can't wait to ask their question. On the other hand, I do like the posting of some header question down in the "test" forum. And geee, nobody answered it.

I have often been amazed by some of the posts in the pig pen. I do not often go in, because I prefer not to get into heated arguments, but when I go I find a really good thread, that shouldn't be hidden away in no-man's land.

As a new poster, I think everyone is allowed to make one or two mistakes. I liken it to getting half way done assembling something before deciding to read the instructions!!
