This is split from another topic to start discussion on how to prevent the same basic questions about room acoustics/panels appearing several times every day.
Maybe we should start a faq?
Yes we should. It's not even that much work to offer the basic vocabulary to beginners to search for the info they are trying to ask, but don't know what to include.
The problem is that most people don't bother reading those, even though just answering those questions in their head might already help solve the problem.
I've been thinking of writing a "How to ask for help" post which can be modified to different beginner level technical problems, because this is widely recurring problem especially in Reddit but also on several forums. Inspiration came from this post linked below.
Quote from https://www.johnlsayersarchive.com/viewtopic.php?t=3231
Many newcomers neglect to supply the information asked for in this document. Therefore, we have decided not to answer ANYONE who doesn't comply. This is not arrogance on our part, it's based on TIME - it takes us much longer to help someone who doesn't even bother to read and study the links mentioned here and to follow these simple instructions. We simply do not HAVE that much time (never did). We are all unpaid volunteers here, doing this because we want to help. So we have no choice but to only help those who pay attention and show that they really do want help. We will only help members who put in the effort to read and comply with these rules.
The FAQ doesn't need to be as blunt, but the point should be clear enough that even younger non-native English speakers understand what is required. People like me want to help and I enjoy solving technical problems, because there is always a possibility to educate myself in the process. The problem solving itself has started to turn into a recurring problem.
So, what questions and required info we should include to get started?
