I use a couple of technical forums and advise on one, DIYNOT.com and a couple of old house restoration ones. I have used a couple of car ones in the past SAAB etc
This forum is by a million miles the worst for abusing new people or people asking the 'silly question'.
Good. Why should we pander to fookwits
Sometimes folk are just completly unsure of something and nip on to ask a bit of advice to get a bit of comfort they are on the right track or jsut simply because its not there strong point yet.
And then they disappear, never to be seen again after raping us for our knowledge, rather than joining in the community.
In time educating new people will give better feedback and more knowledge to give opinions to others in future.
A bit of banter is a good laugh but simply slating someone because you know and they dont is pathetic. If you think someone is in your opinion an idiot because they dont know something about their new Landrover then and it doesnt warrant your precious time to reply then dont f*kin bother. But if you do, dont just say hey your a neep for not knowing that!
