"I don't know if anyone have talked about this or have created this topic before" like it is so annoying more especially when I see some higher rank members doing this also
It is more common with newbies, not with high rank members.

Newbies like know well about forum but want to create topics to ask questions of what they already knew. It is not against rules because Beginners & Help board is for newbie questions, ask everything they don't know and it's hard to say they are not newbies.

Tolerate or not, I see it is not discouraged too much because people still send merit to newbie question threads that inspire them to create more similar new topics, ask questions which ask and answer many times.

Actually I know that anyone who is new to any platform for the first time is considered as a novice or newbie but it is expected that anyone who is using a platform should be able to read/write and understand but it should be noted that every platforms have either their terms of service otherwise terms and conditions or rules and regulations that guides the activities of that platform and in the forum here we have the forum rules and the forum comprises of individuals with great intellectual capacities but it's still very odd to me how some people while making posts they will be using this statement "I don't know if anyone have talked about this or have created this topic before" like it is so annoying more especially when I see some higher rank members doing this also because as someone who have been in the forum for a long time, it is expected that you are familiar with the activities of the forum and should know that before you create a topic in the forum, you are supposed to use the "search box" to check if such topics have been created, existed and discussed before and i believe that was the reason why the "search area" is there so that we don't do things out of ignorance.
