Can we have a "Sticky: Ask game-specific questions on the specific game's forum"

Or whatever wording. It's a little ridiculous that at least once a day (or so it feels) someone posts in the general Speedrunning section a question (oftentimes excruciatingly specific) about 1 game. All anyone says -- time and time and time and time again -- is "go ask on the game's forum/Discord."

It'd be better for the asker too. I don't think the people who do this are stupid, just ignorant of the existence of game-specific forums. So everybody wins, yeah?

United States

A FAQs section next to the forums button would work even better.

Update October 2018: Forgot to thank yall for adding this feature at speedrun.com/help -- much appreciated!

FAQ should definitely be on the nav bar. ROMaster2, can you add that to the Feedback thread? We have so many incoming users and this would help lower the learning curve.

We should also open up writing the FAQ with all of its different categories to the users that know this site really well (you know who you are) -- yall have specific knowledge of how this site is best utilized and can save us from a lot of newbie questions on the forum. I would just start writing one in a google doc together and send it to kirkq for review.
