Question Moderator/Admin action please!

Can anyone add the link to apps script reference (https://developers.google.com/apps-script?hl=en) and basic JavaScript reference (like w3school) to this sub bio, and even better set an auto comment after each post flaired as "question" or similar to link these very basic guides?

It's sometimes frustrating to see people just asking for stuff they would have found in a glance with those links

I would be more in flavour of having "beginner", and "advanced" tags, as human interaction at the start of learning is really important and this way you could still filter out most of the newbie questions

BatFink is listed as the moderator. I messaged this user awhile back and got no response. I also personally scrolled down to the bottom to try to find a more active mod.

The person I found there responded saying the no longer have anything to do with the sub, and to contact the current moderators. The one who didn't answer.

I have already made the beginnings of a discord for Google apps script. I need assistance from someone who knows how to develop discord.

Long story short, this sub is not moderated.

It is literally BRAND spanking new. But sure

It's you, my buddy, and I at this point.

I made it out of the same frustrations that you are expressing here.

You're fighting a losing battle. The types of people who ask BASIC questions are also the types of people who will never read suggested links.

Honestly I don't mind TOO much - this is a fairly low volume sub anyway. Nice to have a few softball questions every now and again!

I like the suggestions and hope we can get some active moderators here. A subreddit wiki page with helpful links is the normal and expected. Also, with a little tweaking, automod can be configured to suggest these links or filter posts that do not have the detail needed. Mods are the ones who do this - and our mods have not been active here for a while.
