On the dreaming forum that I am an admin of, we have a Tutorials section that is basically a collection of member-made threads that were good enough to use as tutorials. The Tutorial forum is locked so regular members can't create or edit threads in there. The threads are not for replying and discussion, but for informational purposes only. Have a look at
our tutorial section to see what it's like. As you can see, most of the threads do not have replies, because they were created for the sole purpose of being a tutorial.
All tutorials that are submitted need to be approved by the staff first and typed up and formatted in a way that is easy for people to read and understand.
In the case of DT, we would probably want to call it something else other than Tutorials, but you get the basic idea. We could have stuff in it like: How to Post Ears (including links and that video Kratty made), When to Spay/Neuter, Recommended Toys, Title Key and Information, etc, etc.
It would be easier to tell newbs to read all this info first, or direct them to a specific informational thread, than going over everything over and over again. Then post if they have any further questions, since this information will likely answer the most commonly asked questions.
Just my two cents.
