the irony is, posting about newbies posting the same old posts is kinda the same as posting about how downswings suck.

It's gonna happen regardless of anyone complaining, and unless there's an active mod or two looking for and quickly deleting threads to enforce forum rules, best you can do is grit your teeth and bear it.

The vast majority of newbies don't read FAQs or assess the tolerance of the regulars. They just go ahead and post. Happens everywhere. Think of them as the "bad beats" of online forums, and handle accordingly.
