Exclamation As a matter of record...

I'm adopting a policy of I'm not going to answer questions anymore that people can answer for themselves just by looking at the documentation or using the '/nui' help command or just reading back two or three messages where the same question was already answered.

The bottom line is that nUI has crossed 100,000 downloads and the number of users is growing exponentially now. I'm getting messages via the comment boards, forums, private messages and e-mail now many times a day that ask questions the user could have easily answered in just a minute or two on their own.

I understand that it's a pain for people to have to read messages or the documentation, but it's the effort of one person to answer their own question. Conversely, I'm just one person with a limited amount of time. If I have to spend an hour or two a day every days retyping answers to questions that are in the documentation already or have been answered every forth message, I have no time for anything else.

So... from here on, if the answer is in the docs (and soon on the site/FAQ/wiki, etc) then my reply is going to be either (a) RTFM or (b) go see some reference.

Of course, questions on subjects that are not clearly explained in the documentation, and such, I will always engage as well as bug reports, feature requests (that aren't already listed in the to-do) and do on.

I hope and trust everyone understands that tact, but I have to do it or this is going to get out of control.
