I'm assuming that once it is refined a bit it will be a sticky?

Nah not a sticky. This will be stuff people are required to fill out every time they post in this section.

Ah! Even better!

I went straight from reading this thread, to one where it took 3 hours and 7 posts before the OP finally had the correct tooth pulled and revealed that he had a fair bit of ammonia, but no nitrates...in a supposedly-cycled tank that was fairly heavily stocked.

This idea will either force those posters to skip ahead and tell us what's going on...or maybe give up and not post at all. Win/win...for everyone except the fish...

Inadequate information

We seem to be getting into a rather frustrating trend at the minute regarding people who are posting problems in relation to their fish. I know i'm not the only person who's picked up on it because several members have mentioned it within posts. Notably @thebiggerthebetter in a recent thread...
