What do Y'all think about an "All Noobs Week" on the forum?

[Ben]

Seems like just yesterday that Dennis and I where answering questions on the week-ends to get them all answered.

These days it almost seems that the frequent flyers are climbing over each other to get answers posted. Since our regulars are such a powerful group it is probably hard for noobs to feel like they even have a chance. So...

How about a an "All NOOBS WEEK"?

The regulars would still be able to reply to the posts by noobs to add to enhanced but the initial replies will have to come from noobs.

What do YOU think?

Are we allowed to reply to this post? 😉

We didn't manage to pull it off the last time we tried this, but I'm willing to do it.

One additional rule I would add is that if a post hasn't been answered after N time (1 day, 2 days, whatever), it becomes fair game.

But we need a clear definition of who's a Noob and who isn't.....

That was different. We were organizing a strike (that Dennis never knew about, boy was he busy that week ).

So we have one vote for the idea with the above stated rule modification.

Other thoughts?

I think it is a good idea. It will help get more people involved in the forum.

[Dennis_Knutson]

I'll vote for this idea.

I like it except the name.

"Members Week" sounds a bit more PC and adds a bit of embedded clarification on the "rules" governing the first responder.  Can we get some buy-in from NI? an annoucement preciding the week?  Newer blue-bars ready to up their game for a week?  (Sorry, Darrin, Arestos Queue, et al- you aren't noobs!)

I'd probably get more "real" work done. When was this "strike"? Was it during one of my "quiet times"?

[Ray.R]

I always miss the special event....  😞

Stupid Serial Port Questions should still to to Dennis first.
