How to cut down on noobie threads on your forum

On every forum, there will always be a massive amount of noobie type questions from people just starting out in the niche. This is especially true of webmaster/SEO and admin forums where people ask the same questions from one forum to the next. This can pose serious duplicate content issues, or at least make your forum come across as boring and stale. The key to cutting down on these type of threads is to start a sticky post of frequently asked questions for your niche and then merge similar posts or discussions into this one thread. That will cut down on the clutter and reduce member frustrations with having to sort through so many similar discussions, while providing a useful resource for all new forum members and anyone who wants to learn more about your forum niche.
