Title: Lets Help the World
Post by: Zylstra on April 18, 2007, 11:26:42 AM
Recently, I have noticed more and more often, people here are loosing their patience about questions.

We already know that 50% of the members will not post their specs.

Insulting isnt going to get anyone anywhere.

Please remember:
When it comes to new members, keep your patients.
Avoide posting things that go very off topic from the thread, especially when it goes unanswered.
Be kind. Or just plain.
Remember: The new member probably has a load of things already on their minds, specifically "How am I going to get this dang thing to work?"

Not everyone is very computer smart.
Some people only know how to turn the computer on and start MS Word.
Stay at their level. Be sure to define things clearly.

I decided to make this post since it seemed many people needed it to pop out at them.

The main rules are completely fine (as GX1 posted)
(This is just focusing on dealing with newbies)

I'm taking it as in you know exactly which incident I am talking about, Raptor? (Almost spelt it Raptop again... kind of funny, since R and P have a bit of distance on the keyboard)

No, not to be taken that way, Raptor.
It just seems like CH gets into a routine sometimes, and then things go... weird.

I dont recall the particular post. It was probably one of those "HELP ME!!!!" users.

As far as I am concerned, you are a very neat member on ComputerHope, and well knowledges of Computers. So quite frankly, I wouldent really care overall. (I just dont like to see members saying that ComputerHope.com sucks, and that people should not come here)

But speaking of it, there should be a cap lock mod somewhere preventing users from posting in all caps.

Raptor is one of the best contributors to computerhope.
He also,always gives PeckerWood a few good chortles.

Sorry,Zylstra I still agree totally with your point. Excuse

You can help the world by finding out who's been karmatically assaulting me.

Everyone has been doing it, I think, we've all lost karma recently.
Raptor more than anyone else though, he was on 0 earlier and 11 last time I saw.
Anyway, back on topic . . . I agree with what you're saying Zylstra, I think we all needed that reminder.
Sometimes it is hard to restrain ourselves though, we're not all blessed with unending patience and our limited reserves are tested by people who refuse to read the rules.
