What do we think about tutorials, especially basic tutorials?

Hi there,

Moderator here.

I check the moderator queue regularly and invariably there are links to tutorials in there which have been picked up by the auto-moderator. Now, that auto-moderator is not perfect; it routinely blocks text postings that are perfectly fine, so just because something has been blocked by it doesn't necessarily mean it is spam.

When I see these tutorials I try and err on the side of useful information being good for the r/SQL SubReddit, and look to see if the poster has ever contributed anything else and so on.

However, it's getting perhaps a little much. How many tutorials do we need on joins?

In our sidebar we state "The goal of r/SQL is to provide a place for interesting and informative SQL content and discussions."

Do we consider that tutorials - generally always basic tutorials on fundamentals, not something more advanced - are "interesting and informative"?

I am thinking I would like to start banning these postings with the opinion they are not contributing to the SubReddit, but merely providing easily-obtained basic SQL information which can already be found in a better form via the links on our Wiki page.

However, this is not a dictatorship; I would be interested to learn of any alternate viewpoint. Perhaps some readers find those postings very helpful.

Thanks !
