How about a sub forum to this one?

For people that may have questions about things on the site they are unsure of, etc.

And so fellow users can answer their questions, so admins and mods who might, or might not be busy, do not have distractions from other work.

What you guys think?

And on a site note: When the site gets far bigger, and we regrettably may start getting the pricks who spam us, insult us, etc. You might want to find a way to have a post time limiter. So 30 seconds, or 1 minute between each post. But that's up to you.

Could you please keep it somewhere around 30seconds if you do. I read fast, and sometimes I comment at the same speed, and it's really annoying to have to sit and wait because the site thinks I'm a spammer.
((FF.N once told me I wasn't human because I'd posted reviews on several different stories in quick succession. Really, the chapters were short and I let the authors know that I was glad they updated and interested in what was going on in a chapter or whatever.))
I understand that it's necessary, but...please don't make the amount of time inbetween comments inordinately long.


A sub-forum for questions is a good idea. It'll make things a bit less messy in the long one. Maybe at the top we could have a FAQ post ((*is thinking of Sheroes*)) that mods (or someone in charge of that sort of thing) can add to as needed for questions that tend to repeat.

Post limiters are almost always BAD ideas. They wind up hindering everybody more than helping. Mods and admins are the people to clear up the spam. If it does start getting bad you grind the rules down until people get the point.

Been there, done that.

Well... it does help, if you get so many spammers, trolls, flamers who post like there is no tomorrow and mods can't keep up.

But thats a long ways away.
