O.K. Here's how it goes, somebody posts a question on any forum topic and we, selfless unhelp drones that we are, post our completely unhelpful answers. An answer which seems helpful and reasonable but is actually hideously wrong would be a really good one.
An example usually illuminates:  Quote: Originally posted by Chrissie
I'm about to fight the dragon in SOA (Paladin level 4 strength 18/50 char 17  ) What are the best buffs? | Well that would be Protection from Cold and if you have a scroll of Protection from Undead I'd keep that handy.
See a Red Dragon breaths fire so the buff is going to double damage to poor little Chrissie. Also the scoll of Prot Undead would have been really handy earlier so poor little Chrissie keeping it to make a saving throw at the dragon is just icing on the cake.
Oh and I'm not joking about the spam either.  | | |

People who post are not always posting something that reveals every aspect needed for a correct answer, and people who knows all the possible answers answer the first thing that comes in mind (like use the scroll of prot from undead, or backstab him, or use mirror image, or even you cant do this or that)
That should be exposed, by default, but people never read the 'Read before posting' threads or something.
It is the problem analysis issue.
We dont analyse, and there is not enough data for analysis.
BTW, Quote: | Oh and I'm not joking about the spam either. | THAT is impossible to believe.

I've got this rash. It burns. Right under my armpit and it stretches down to my toes. What do I do?

Milk the pig then check to see that all of its legs are the same.
Oh and if you could keep the s-word language to a minimum please. I have asked you nicely. (search the forum for 'a wee history for the little ones' if this isn't making sense).
Upon a re-read yours may in fact be the prize winning entry....

Actually no. Go through the entire website and read each thread in each forum till you come across the correct thread and post. That is the best way.

Nonononono, just get eaten by the Dragon too, so you will meet up with them inside again.

I'm 'in' the dragon now but Minsc and Jaheria are back where I killed them in the Irenicus dungeon (Although I definitely have Boo with me). Now what?
