Wondering why people are able to find Meta to post their complaint, but then fail to do a simple search before posting their (often badoften bad) question here, I suddenly realize that the question block also prevents people from complaining about it on the main sites. So:

Wouldn't linking to the FAQ attract more help vampires to Meta?

(Or: do we want to help those who cannot even find the FAQ themselves? I only feel pity for those who get the ban because of shared IP addresses, but I don't know if that has actually happened. Even then: good citizens will then figure out how to find the FAQ?)
