I believe I talked about this before in the GD forum, responding to the exact same problem :3
For a couple of games, I don't see why not. However, people have to communicate which settings are "recommended". We don't have the time to parse the thread and look into every issue ourselves (nor do all of us have the games :p) but giving us the settings speeds up the process.
Ideally, you'd just make a new post that exactly follows the template for game threads, that way we can just copy + paste it. Furthermore, to avoid any confusion from people who do read the first page and see people talking about setting from the old posts (things like Optimize Quarternizers or whatever, Zelda TLB hack), it should be quite apparent that the first post has been updated. Something like a disclaimer.
Ultimately though, I would much prefer this effort go towards the Dolphin Wiki. Forum threads like these are not suited to being updated as frequently as wiki entries. If we had a team dedicated to making the wiki as accurate as possible, that would be much more useful to the community.
