| Feb 13, 2014 at 8:06 | comment | added | Nick T | As a counterpoint, Arqade's position on banning all ITG (identify this game) was actually walked back if someone provides a specific picture: “Here is a thing. Look at the thing. Do you see the thing? I would like to know what this Thing is Called.” A plea for sanity | |

A Identification question of the nature of what would be asked on those sites would be "I seem to remember a mini-d type port on a yoyodyne decombrolator - does anyone know what it was for, and can I connect that to a modern machine?" | |
| Jan 31, 2014 at 21:59 | comment | added | Doktoro Reichard | I do remember that some users were unable to RTFM because it was mistranslated (IIRC the specific case, it was a mistranslated Farsi motherboard manual, that eventually got somewhat upvoted). | |

| Jan 31, 2014 at 19:34 | comment | added | Darth Android | I could possibly see a "How to identify unknown ports?" question fitting here, though I surmise the real answer is "Read the manual that came with your device." | |
