Questions = N00bishness?
« on: July 31, 2010, 09:28:10 PM »
How come asking questions make you seem more like a n00b? I have a lot of questions to ask (RA2 and other things), but I'm afraid to, because others will think less of me.

Don't be afraid to ask, sometimes it may not be as bad as you think

I were, am, and always will be encouraging asking questions, being curious and skeptic. The ability to learn and the desire to do so are true virtues worth spreading.

However, I grow tired of answering the same questions over and over, especially those that can be answered by googling or lurking around the forum. That's why I sometimes post a letmegooglethatforyou.com link.

I lose no respect for anyone from questions that are relatively valid (I lose respect if its something we told you OVER 9000 times).

Probably because I am the person who asks a question and then everyone looks at me and asks why I didn't know the answer already XD

Sometimes I think the answer is some where obvious so I don't ask it because I don't like feeling like an beep you know

If it bothers you that much, you could try prefacing your question with "I've read so-and-so's tutorial and I still don't get it."  That shows you put some effort into trying to solve the problem yourself.

Do a search. If you can't find it, ask.
