You see, when people come to "check" out bitcoin on forums like this, you will be quick to tell them how anything they say is unoriginal as you have been there and done that and already discussed it a year ago already *yawn* how boring for you, right? You will let them know that they should use the search feature of the forum and spend hours searching years of posts to try to find one that manages to address their unique CURRENT question or comment. You will be sure to tell them to use google, and search through the 10s of 1000s of web pages created by bitcasino and bitfaucet sites to try to find a legit answer that is actually up-to-date.

Well... you 're right here. When I joined as newbie, I also went through a lot of frustration the same way. On the other hand, think of the people who have answered the same questions over and over, with utmost dedication and have spent hours (or even days) of time on forum answering such questions on forum and they still see the same question being posted all over the forum on daily basis from newbies who would not like to search or browse the forum. Surely they also have 'real life' outside the forum same as newbies who post the questions, right?

So what I'd like to propose for both kind of people to be happy is develop a 'Grand Bitcoin FAQ - The Newbie Version' and pin it. Compile the most frequent newbie questions that have already been answered on the forum and list them under one thread. And let every newbie on the forum go through it. Maybe we can also work out some notification which alerts a newly joined member to first go through the FAQ topic before they can post any new topic.

Sounds like a plan?

and after reading such FAQ they will never have another question related to the basics?

please tell me more of this FAQ that takes into account all levels of education and learning styles and provides them with complete comprehension upon reading...

I'm not saying the FAQ will answer every Bitcoin-related question under the sun. I'm saying it will list all questions that have been 'already been answered on the forum'. If you don't find your answer there, use the search button a couple times; and if you still don't find a satisfactory answer, sure post it. We're glad to guide you.

I am not ready to believe that every question that comes on the forum is thrown into the dustbin right away. That's not how this forum works.
