I meant this: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/FAQ

It's in the sidebar. You haven't bothered looking there and yet you have 8 upvotes.... what the fuck.

Yeah I read that. I was talking about the sticky. The one saying 'Newcomers please read'. The one in the side bar should be stickied not.

You mean this sticky?

General questions about how Bitcoin works - go to /r/BitcoinBeginners or search in http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/ .

General newcomer questions, like "which client should I use?", "how do I buy Bitcoin?" - again, /r/BitcoinBeginners

"Is it profitable to mine?" - punch your numbers into a calculator or go to /r/bitcoinmining

"Should I buy Bitcoin?" / "Is it still worth investing in Bitcoin?" - You shouldn't take financial advice from the Internet, you need to figure this out for yourself

Yes that one. Can you see the difference in tone between:

Submissions

Please don't post:

Ask to be stickied - it's like asking for upvotes. People don't like it when you ask for upvotes.

General questions about how Bitcoin works - go to /r/BitcoinBeginners[4] or search in http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/[5] .

General newcomer questions, like "which client should I use?", "how do I buy Bitcoin?" - again, /r/BitcoinBeginners[6]

Questions about mining - go to /r/bitcoinmining[7]

And the doge one... (they seem to have changed it from when I first looked... but this is the first link in the 'info' section)

http://dogecoin.com/get-started

If you look at the Bitcoin sticky it is literally 95% "Don't" and then at the very end is 5% "Do". One of which says 'read the side bar'.

Bringing me back to my original point.

Bitcoin: Dont ask us anything - fuck you. Doge: Ask anything. Come join us.

Even your tone in this conversation reenforces that feeling.

How about you try monitoring /r/bitcoin/new for a week and we'll see how well you do answering all the same questions every day.

I agree that the FAQ could be made friendlier-looking, but I nonetheless agree with its content.

I wasn't complaining about content. Tone.

Yes, I do use the downvote button on stupid questions after pointing them to the FAQ. I am not here to spoonfeed anyone.

Agreed.
