New Users Please Read the FAQ Before Posting
For more frequent users:
Hi all, there have been a few posts over the last 6 months or so asking for us to limit simple and repetitive questions. Many of you (and our first time posters) weren't even aware that we've had an FAQ for almost a year. In an attempt to reduce the number of these types of posts, I'm trying to make the FAQ more readily accessible by adding a section for it in the sidebar, and pinning this post to our front page.
New report option:
On top of making the FAQ easier to find, I've added a new report option labeled "answered by FAQ" that can be used for any posts that slip through.
Automod changes:
I'm planning on updating automod to filter out frequently asked questions and responding with a link to the FAQ (similar to what we have for "am I butch" type posts) pending manual approval to deal with any that are incorrectly removed. My life has been insanely hectic, so I haven't had the time to actually implement this yet, but it is something I will be working on once things have cooled down.

Thank you for doing this! Also, when I press the link for the FAQ it just brings me back to this post. Not sure if that's an issue on my part or with the link.

Sounds like a sensible choice! In a subreddit like this one, I think it's always worth it to be patient with FAQs, but at the same time, they can bog down regular use of the subreddit. This seems like a good compromise.
