(G) new rules

well not a rule as such but a posting guideline
its been noted in some sections that noobs are often getting a standard response of 'search' 'RTFM' etc

so from now on these responses are simply not on
if thats your answer then just don't answer
here in punto we have the FAQ's and the guides (more guides would be nice though
so if its a question answered in the FAQ's then please link to that FAQ or whatever
if a search will answer the question then search and give a link or links

don't feel this is against punto,its a cross forum policy but i decided to do a post to make members aware
