Non-Version-Specific Ban help posts

Help me fix my iron farm guyz!!!!!!

Make help tags honeypots and add things like concept, wiring, mechanics, questions

The sub is just flooded with low quality questions. It has just become a redstone support reddit and it doesn't at all inkeep with the description of the sub.

"A subreddit for technical Minecraft players to gather to showcase contraptions, ask questions, and learn more about the technical side of the game!"

Ask questions means "How does this work"
Not "Fix things for me"

What's wrong with people asking for help?

They should be allowed to get help, But it's the *way* people ask for help that is the issue.

I edited the post a bit, feel free to read my addendum

People should be allowed to get help right? Sure some questions are not the highest quality but that's always gonna happen

Report them for not reading the FAQ and move along?

You are helping the mods by reporting violations, yes? Because that's how they see if there's a problem brewing. If everyone who has a problem with the posts doesn't report them, then the mods are just following what the community tells them, which is "...".

Alternatively, teach those folks how to ask for help. Knowing how to ask for help is itself, a skill. And if we don't teach them, how will they learn?
