Hard disagree. Our forum search functions are hot garbage, but "SEARCH QUERY golfmk6/mk6 gti/etc." on Google has given me the answer to almost every single question I've ever needed to know the answer to. If you leverage Google to search the forum, it very much becomes a great, organized wiki. Vastly superior to the endless stream of posts on FB Groups.
Asking questions to engage the community is totally fine, and I've certainly made use of our "random/stupid questions" thread. I have no problem with newbies asking good questions and wanting to learn about the platform or cars in general -- I realize not everyone with a recently purchased Golf has been into cars their whole life.
But after the 100th "what oil should I use?" or "drop links to good mods", the lazy people wanting to be spoon-fed basic information start to become incredibly grating. They need to learn how to do the most basic of research. I don't want to engage with someone that refuses to do any legwork and expects you to give them links/lists for everything.
It's generally pretty easy to tell who's who between the "gimme gimme gimmes" and "hey, can you help me learn?" users. The latter can ask all the questions they want, the former can get bent.
