Just like the title says, should we split the "Code and Application Development" in two, one for basic questions, and one for advanced questions ?
I ask, because reading that forum is getting tiresome sometimes, it gets hammered with newbie questions repeated over and over by people who don't even try to search first. Some of them can't even ask a decent question (aka "MY blogZ not worky please HALP!!" with no details at all), some have almost no idea of what PHP is, or speak a broken engrish that even I can't understand.
</end newbie rant>
Don't get me wrong, I don't hate newbies, I even enjoy helping them *if* I feel they are trying to help themselves and will learn something from our help.
It would be cool if we could split the dev forum into two, one for basic questions (php, DB, basic codeigniter), and one for advanced questions.
I really enjoy reading the forums, and advanced questions threads are very interesting to read, we all learn a lot from them, but right now they are so diluted by basic-questions threads that it gets tiring searching for them.
Also, the basic questions forum could have a nice big sticky thread with things to do first (like reading the manual, searching the forums, etc...) and how to post a question (include error messages, code excerpts) ... to make it easier for us to help them.
Is it a good idea, or am I simply a grumpy old man ?
