[Misc] PSA: When to use Wiki & the sidebar, when to use the DHT, and when to keep your mouth shut.

Beauty Tips For Body Care
These are a few observations I've noticed recently and I just wanted to give a few of you a heads up.If you are new to this sub, chances are you are looking to start a routine, or fix your routine. And if that's the case, it's best to know how to post, when to post, and where to post.SkincareAddication has a list of Holy Grails that users have given reviews on products they love. There is also an in-depth Wiki page detailing what products you might want to use depending on your conditions.Everything you want to know about certain products, ingredients, reviews...etc can be searched and found in this sub. You just need to take the time to find it.And a lot of users have. They took the time to do their research about their routine. So coming in here expecting someone to do that work for you, is annoying and you have a high chance of being ignored or getting terrible advice.When you ask on the DHT a question that can be found by searching the sub, it most likely will not be answered. In which case, please do not go to the main thread asking your question there. It clogs the sub up with pointless posts that again will most likely get ignored.The Daily Help Thread (DTH) is more for common questions about your routine. Am I using these products in the right order? Is it okay to use product A with product B? I'm not having the most positive reaction, is there a reason why? It's questions that you are struggling to find the answers for but is something that can be quickly answered by someone who might have more knowledge.And finally, when to keep your mouth shut.Sometimes it seems like the only people who tend to answer questions are the people who shouldn't be answering questions.They tell users to drink water, eat better food...etc. Really basic answers that all of us have heard throughout the years of our acne and other skincare problems and we are typically aware that it's not the problem.Or they give answers with nothing to back up what they are saying. They tell you you should use The Ordinary's Lactic acid, but they don't tell you why, they don't tell you to be careful if you already have another BHA, or other very important details that go into using such products.Sorry for my dumb rant, this sub just seems like it's filled with useless questions and answers. There is too much bad advice. I researched for what felt like forever trying to build my routine. And I did not buy 50 products at once expecting random strangers on the internet who have never seen my skin to tell me what to do with them. It took me 2 years to get a solid routine I am happy with.TLDR: I'm just once again really disappointed with this subs content and feel like there is no moderation whatsoever.
