My suggestion is quite simple. I suggest to add
Getting The Most Out Of General Help as a separate sticky in the
General Help forum.
This topic is already featured in the
General Help Unified Sticky, however, in the almost 2 years since it's been posted it has only had ~710 views. For comparison, this one:
Moderator Team & Trusted / Mediator List, which has only been stickied for around 9 months, has 6,788 views at this time. What I'm trying to say with this is that the topic:
Getting The Most Out Of General Help is hidden in the unified sticky from the users that need it the most and as a consequence is not living up to it's 'potential'. In my opinion, it completely belongs as a separate sticky in the general help forum. Being there would allow it to have more exposure and in the process it can benefit many more users whether they're looking for help or to help.
Pros:- There would be MUCH more exposure for the topic.
- There may potentially be more informative posts asking for help.
- There may potentially be better educated helpers. We have incredible people helping there already, but even a veteran helper may learn something from this topic.
- It may prevent unnecessary posts.
- It is a very easy change to do.
Cons:- Some people may say that it may clutter the forum. You can decide this for yourself with the screenshot I posted below.
- I can't think of any others.
