I've done the same thing as ronnecurt here with a number of other forums and never received such a bureaucratic response. As members of the forum we should make them feel welcome by answering their question, so they can have faith and confidence in us if he/she wishes to visit again I can assure you plenty of other forums would be a lot less diplomatic about it than we are. You try answering at least one person joining a week asking immediately for tech help, promising to be a regular poster, giving you a tech query they can't get answered anywhere else, putting in the time to find them an answer in the hope they'll stay, & then never hearing from again once they've got what they wanted - often adding insult to injury by returning to post at Mod The Sims, More Awesome Than You, Snooty Sims or wherever. Been there, done it, got the t-shirt, matching socks, gloves, scarf & bobble hat, every week here for years. This has happened all the time in the three years I've been here, & I'll bet Ollie will be able to tell us it happened long before that. In the past three years I've been here, not one person that has joined here first & foremost to have a tech query answered has ever stayed (the nearest we had was Totalhuni, & there were other parochial reasons I'm guessing for that, but that's another story). Once they get what they want, that's it. Sorry, but I had my fill of doing charity work when I was with Amnesty International and Community Service Volunteers. The five posts rule was put in place to deter these fly by nights, & even so you still get the likes of the recent Sim_Lad, who rushed up the obligatory five posts to meet the requirement before starting to make his tech query, & once answered has never, ever been seen since. http://www.simsforums.com/search.php?act...c0d076574d We (that is Caspin, Ollie & I - the actual site owner is a largely absentee landlord) do SF in our spare time outside of our usual life commitments & trying to have fun, so forgive us for being none too happy at being treated continually as a free technical service to random strangers looking for some mug to do all the searching for them. As I've said before, our attitude comes from others lack of gratitude. |
