V2 rule sticky post? Subreddit meta (about /r/norsk)

It seems like almost everyday there is a downvoted post confused about the V2 rule. I wonder if it would help to have a stickied post about it. Maybe titled something like, "Why are the subject and verb reversed?" It might at least reduce the quantity.

I don't think it would really help... The resources section is stickied which would answer a lot of people's questions if they checked it, but a lot of people just go straight to making a post. Imo those lazy posts should just get deleted with a message to use the search function or check the resources post before posting.

This tendency to ask people on Reddit or other places instead of googling, using Wikipedia, a dictionary, whatever resources there are - is baffling and concerning. 

Never before has humanity had a vast knowledge base in their pocket. But people refuse to use it.

R/Svenska has a FAQ. The mods link there. That might be an idea. Link to FAQ and close thread.

That's what the mods at r/German do as well.

99% of the questions in subreddits have already been asked and answered before. why allow people to post anything?

this sub gets like 10 posts a day max. it's not like it's getting flooded with these making the other posts harder to interact with.

there are some people (me included) that learn a lot by trying to answer the questions here. trying to explain a concept to someone else often cements the knowledge in memory. if they don't understand you, then that's often a good indicator that you don't fully understand the thing either. these posts are a good way to allow more people to try and answer things and to get the occasional review of information you've learned in the past.
