I would like to suggest that the Forum provide an indication of skill level for users. Perhaps a 5 star system or just novice, beginner, ..., god.
My issue is that in answering questions, it is not always clear the intent of the OP. A question answered one way might be over the users head, but answered the other way might be insulting. Other forum I join have a way to self rate your skill level, perhaps it could be added here?
How about the following for a skill level:
1) I have no clue what a soldering iron is.
2) I have a general idea what one is.
3) I know what end of a soldering iron to grab
4) I have used a soldering iron without having to make a trip to the hospital
5) I have put together a kit and it worked
6) My sponge still looks like a sponge
7) I have replaced my sponge at least once.
8) I have more than one soldering iron
9) Forget the iron, I mostly use a hot plate.
Just looking to start a discussion..
