I really think a failure @ CoinTalk (and others) is the lack of pinned threads.
-A NEWBY FAQ thread, with recommended resources, sellers, etc and other aids to help new people who may be interested in our hobby.
-Preferred buyers thread... share some positive feedback from sellers that have treated you well.
-Fake Sellers thread... yes many count on Forvm's list .. include that link but share new info.
I am sure there may be other topics but on CoinTalk we repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat the same answers to new collectors..
Why not make it easier for them? Without new collectors our hobby dies on the vine.
PLEASE ALLOW PINNED THREADS
Admin to choose of course.. but take care of new people!
Make this site an open forum to share our experience with everyone - not just the clique.... GROW, GROW, GROW
Don't navel gaze like other sites.
