I signed up to the Mini Cooper forums, http://www.northamericanmotoring.com/forums. And they have a thing that when you go to create a new thread, after typing in the title and clicking off the title box, a box pops up with suggested similar threads. This already stopped me from asking a couple of questions. And they use vBulletin as well. Could this be something MY350Z incorporate?

sounds cool. but a shame it would get ignored here because you always will have the one person that "wants a fast answer" and doesn't feel like reading the suggested threads. best thing would be to lock/delete the repeat thread, or merge them with those similar threads

I was just thinking about this the other day. Another forum I belong to attempts to cure the "kazillion threads on one topic" problem by stickying everything that comes up fairly often. That doesn't work, because with a whole page of stickies, people stop looking at them.
But I agree that it would be great to do *something* here. I'm tired of seeing a new thread every time somebody gets a new 350 and can't manage to drive it smoothly. Or at all.
Hopefully they would see that suggestions come up for the keywords they put in, and are smart enough to try typing their problem into the title block instead. And if not. They should be banned.

Agree. Its overkill. Like the Top-100 questions. If 100 questions is good than 200 questions would be better? Nope. Its overkill.
Interesting that 90 percent of common questions can be answered with 10 answers. So the other 90 questions cover only 10 percent of the common questions.
How to curb common repost threads of questions.
