As SSNL mod you probably face a lot of of newbish posts like I do in MLHE . I usually let them punch themselves. I let dumb/asked-a-million-times questions go most of the time. They usually don't survive long on the first page anyhow, there is usually a little flamage (not always a bad thing as long as it doesn't go over the top), and a newb learns a lesson. The regulars do a pretty decent job of regulating the board (but I have a pretty laizze faire modding philosophy).

I guess I lean more towards letting these threads live what is hopefully a short life on the first page. I would have links ready to refer people to, or refer them to a reference link in the sticky.
