Please put a description to the challenges forum to avoid people postings questions they consider challenging (but don't know the answer for). Thanks

As once again a plain question was posted to the Challenges forum and my previous message was ignored - I'm wondering if it's me who posts to the wrong forum.

Maybe there should be a minimum post count before people can create a new thread? Or maybe a probation period of 30 days or so?

I wouldn't like that. Let people people post their questions (or challenges) without restrictions. Just help them to choose the appropriate forum by adding descriptions to all fora (forums?). At least I hope that most of the people reading something like "Challenge the VBScripters to solve an interesting programming puzzle - but be prepared to provide a solution if asked for it" (insert something better) won't post simple questions to the Challenge Forum.

I am not sure how much descriptions help, not everyone reads them, how many posts have been moved out of the Post your script forum even though it say not to post questions. Show off your completed VBScript or code snippet here. Do not post Questions here, only completed scripts please. Script should be useful and created by you.

maybe have a Read Me first sticky, and spell out what should and shouldn't be posted in the challenges forum. Basically, the fact that they should already know the answer before they post.
