The moderators, administrators do a lot of gratis hard work on our behalf.
Some of that is caused by posters not being aware of forum rules and protocols. We are blessed to have a lot of options on Puritan Board.
It might be helpful to have a quiz on forum rules for new members about the rules and protocols of the board.
If every new member was required to pass a quiz of this type, it might reduce some of the common misunderstandings of posters, particularly newer ones. For example, many are not aware it takes 25 posts before one can access the politics and government forum. Others have not considered the Second Commandment implications of a post (i.e. linking to an item) and simply calling attention to this for entry level participation could save a lot of interaction and explanation (and misunderstanding).
The moderators and administrators do a lot of hard work for us and they deserve our informed cooperation. Maybe we can lessen the load a bit for them with this.
