The current system has disadvantages that won't be solved by constantly spamming outselves not to offend against it.

It is not ideal to force a newbie to post his question on page 37 of a thread and then scold him because he doesn't know something that was clearly stated on page 8, then again on 14 and 24.

I don't think there is a really great way to fix things; nagging all of us for the offences committed by a few of us isn't my idea of an improvement.
