I'd imagine the asking never ends.
Thanks for the answers, though.
Technically, yes. People seem to think that asking us things sometimes will annoy us though. I don't know why, thats what we are here for, and thats why we get paid. The happier people are with their forum experiance, the more they post, and the more people read those posts. Removing triple posts and whatnot is all part of that. Of course you can't please all the people all the time, and we do deal with more than our fair share of people who have a definitely unique worldview, but overall its not too bad.
The reason we started Ask an Admin day was basically because of the Magi incident. It gives people the chance to see the admins, interact with them, maybe find out a few things about us and realize that we are approchable so if an incident like that ever occurs again, people know there is somewhere they can go for recourse. Also, for rumaor control, etc.
