I've always thought that they should write some kind of script so that the first two posts of any new thread will automatically generate. The first will be some a-hole that says "Do a search," "Google is your friend," or the classic link to the search page." The second post will be the omnipresent doosh that calls the OP a troll. Or posts that picture of a the "baby troll."

So an example post could be like this:

1. I am new to cycling, but am the brother in law of a famous Tour de France winner. Should I rely on him for advice?

2. (auto-generated) Learn how to use the search function, dip****.

3. (auto-generated) Don't feed the trolls. This question has been asked a thousand times.


Then the discussion could begin once these inevitabilities are out of the way. And the post count of some people would drastically level off, because they would have nothing left to add.
