The same goes for the terms "what bike should I buy" together in a thread title.
You could simply ignore these threads. They can't be creating all that much clutter on your computer screen, and you wouldn't even have to bear the annoyance of dealing with exceptions unless you wanted to.
There will always be new people on this forums with questions that have been asked and answered thousands of times. But that would have been before they discovered the forum, so they wouldn't know that.
OTOH- we could eliminate this section entirely and replace it with a link to the Park Tool or some other site, then you would be annoyed at all.
