Comment on Ask HN: Eliminating FAQs

Comments

If a website needs a FAQ, it needs a revamp! If you know what your users are asking, simplify your navigation and copy so that users can find these answers easily.

The answers to FAQ should be on the front page!

If your users stopped looking at them pat yourself at the back and remove them :).

You're using a site that has an FAQ. :) And when I look at what's in HN's FAQ, I don't think I'd want all that information on the front page.

On the other hand, there are changes that could be useful. For instance, "rules about submissions" could be on the Submit page, and "rules for comments" could appear when actually commenting. A lot of the other things could be written or linked from a user's profile page.

Those are great suggestions for the Feature Requests thread:
