Can we ask them to RTF 'Summary Post'?
As a recent starter on the UAE forum, I'm respectful of the need for noobs like me to RTFF.
But there's another view.
There are close to 15,000 reports on the Dubai thread and nearly 500 even in the AMP's thread. Discounting for the useless posts that one can skim through in five seconds, it still takes a minute on average to read a couple of posts. So about ten hours to read even the last thousand posts.
Now this might be a perfect use of time for a few guys. But not for everyone.
There will always be those on ISG who treat it as the neighbourhood local, checking in every day and happily logging many hours per week. But there are also others who will drop in only once in a while. Like some of us go to ACE Hardware and happily putter around till we find what we need. Others want to ask the first guy with a name-badge that they see.
Of course, there's no defending bozos who waltz in and holler at everyone with a "What's the best places for girls?". But should we not provide a simpler summary for those who do not want to dig through a few hundred posts?
Here's one possible answer: Can there be one or two 'Summary Posts' (something a like version of Joe Karnavic's fine round-up of 2013) which lists the key places, girls, prices. And which is uploaded on the "Link to Posts of Distinction". Details could be provided by Senior Members on PM as always. But this would allow noobs to be pointed to a specific 'Summary Post' instead of the general direction to RTFF.
