I've found that people here are very responsive to posts, so don't be afraid to put out a topic of your own. That said, the "Has this question ever been asked before" feature does tend to reduce the number of new posts. As for the account banned type posts: I find them useful to help avoid trouble on my broadcasts. Fortunately they're easy to spot from the post titles, so once I accept them as part of the landscape, they aren't too much of a nuisance.
