So what should be done? How do we solve this? Well I don't have a certain answer but I have ideas. Please share your ideas also, I'm opening this thread for brainstorming. First of all, merit system is apparently not enough to provoke people into opening quality threads. Before opening a thread, people should be incited into researching, and checking if the question in their mind has been discussed before. And after researching, if they can't find the answer to their specific question anywhere, then they should open new threads.

Lets start from opening a topic or a thread. Since this is uncontrollable, WE SHOULD CHECK all the topics that should be posted in the forum or, SOMEONE should check (moderator, DT, concerned members, dedicated people).
Apparently, this is the main issue here, if this will not stop, the forum will be spammed forever.
We should have at least make an approval button(or an approver) before a topic will be posted to make an organized section. Knowledgeable from the histories and other post would be a nominee for this. Just an idea.
