Some of us already give the OP's direct links to create threads.If the "articles" should be threads, I'd like to have them moved or removed and not in the articles section.
Thanks, we'll take you (and others) up on the offer!
I'm ok with non-chicken related articles / content, as long as they are properly categorized and the content is appropriate.
Great idea! In fact, here's what I'm thinking:
We have volunteers message the peeps that posted in the article section instead of the thread a canned response like:
"Hi, we noticed you posted your question to this article here <link>.
Our team periodically removes content posted in our articles section that is meant for the forum, and we feel like your post would be a better fit here: <direct link to proper "new thread" link in the right forum section>.
If you would still like your question posted to the forum, please copy / paste the content from your article over to a new thread (in the link above). If you don't need any more help, then there's nothing you need to do since our system will remove the article automatically in x days."
So, that leaves it up to the person to copy their stuff AND hopefully shows them the proper way to ask a question for future reference.
We could keep a list of which peeps received PM conversations and then just automatically remove the articles after x days.
Thoughts?
