Everytime a question is asked, the forum can automatically generate an E-mail and send to that person such as, "Ask your teacher for your question." The thread is then deleted.
If someone asks a question on the internet as simple as "How to generate punching power?" What will be your answer?
- Go to ask your teacher.
- Go to **** yourself.
- How long have you trained? How old are you? Are you male or female? How much do you weight? Are you democrate or republican? ...
- If you send me $20, I'll send you my advice.
- You should try this and that ...
What's the value of any forum that does not encourage people to ask questions? Do you think some people may be afraid to get into legal issue by giving advice on the internet? What's your opinion on this?

I totally agree. This is a martial arts forum and things of that nature should be discussed. Even repeat threads may be useful as someone may have gained new insight into a techinique that they can share with others.
