To cut down on questions being asked in General P2P, I think you should make it so that if people use a question mark in their topic title, they will not be allowed to do it and will get a message saying "All Questions to the Help and Advice forums" Not sure if you guys can implement this though because of the fact that these are phpbb boards.

Wouldn't this idea limit the creativity of posters' topics? Such a blanket filter would eliminate such devices as, say, rhetorical questions in the threads of posters who have a valid thread to contribute to the board.

First problem is that no every topic with a question mark in it has to do with runescape. And as far as i know, the help and advice board is for runescape only.

Its just a question mark. :roll:

I'll use his idea to draw a parallel: not every topic with a question mark in it is necessarily an actual question. For example, there's a General P2p forum topic that says, " "Duradel now sets harder tasks" ...O Rly?". There's a question mark in that, but it's clearly not a "Help and Advice" question, merely a predecessor to an observation. Creating a blanket ban over question marks in topics on General p2p unnecessarily limits users' topic ideas, in my opinion.
