I am somewhat confused as to what you consider to be serious code violations offered on this forum. If any have been stated they are often corrected shortly after the posting by many of the other members.
I have seen a lot of advice given on this forum and in general it is very good. Many like myself do not put alot of the extra nec info on this forum because many people would not understand or care why something is allowed or not according to the nec. Many people including liscenced electricians do not understand every part of the nec, and do not have access to the book, but if they ask someone like the people of this forum they will get well researched an honest answers.
i have seen much worse advice on other forums including forums for electrical questions, but if anybody were to ask why something could be done from now on an explanation could be given because it seems pointless to me to direct them to a number in the nec.
In regards to those asking questions. It would only be intelligent for a person asking a question to read a number of responses to get a consensus of opinions on a matter, if they did not do this they are probably not qualified to do the work and should call a professional. Many of the people on this forum; however, are not stupid and would not ask a question unless they felt at least semi-comfortable doing the job, but often one of the first responses are to seek help if they do not feel comfortable.
as larry said this may be a woodworking forum, but the members on this forum come from a very broad spectrum of backgrounds including the electrical fields and many are qualified to give answers to such questions.
