You are right. But at the same time, this part of the usual should've been solved from the get go by having that password on the OP. That way, there can be more reasons to ignore their spam when the answer is right on the front page. You know, 2 less steps than going through the search function.No need to help these newbies to find excuses. Any people with brain cells when go to a new place they are not familiar with, the first thing they do should be look around and observe, for this site, just like Mr. X said:
CHECK THE OTHER POSTS FIRST BEFORE ASKING FOR THE PASSWORD.
Instead, all these newbie highness just straight up asking / begging like we are here to serve them.
