 PLEASE be
kind to those trying to assist with any questions you might have by
following the guidelines below, in this and other groups on Multiply.
First
and foremost, please look for the answers to your problem in the BLOG first.
This is where many tutorials are posted in detail. Then check the NOTES to see if the question has already been asked and
answered. The answer may already be there.
Please
read the welcome area at each group first, before posting, so you know
you are at the right group. Do not use the POST button on the top
of your pages to throw up posts willy nilly. Find out what group you should be in, where that
group wants you to post to and what the purpose of that group is. This
information is usually found in the Welcome Area or readily available
and linked to on the homepages. Some groups actually hide sections
because they are not to be used. And if you post in the proper group,
then less time is spent redirecting you.
Please
do not double or triple post the same question in the same group or all
the groups at once. Most of us are members of the same groups, and we
only need to see the question once, in one place. If it's posted in
more than one place, then all tend to get ignored and replies can't
flow in an order to assist you.
Please do not type in mixmatched font (UpPeR aNd LoWeR cAsE LeTtErs) either in the title of your post or in the content area. It's too hard to read, and will usually be ignored by those that can really assist you. Please post in a professional manner.
Please,
do not use HELP or any version of that as a title! Correctly title your
question with what the problem is. Everyone needs to look for an answer
before asking a question. And answers can't be found with that title.
When
replying, please read ALL the replies in the thread first. Sometimes
the correct answer is further up, or the foundation for further
assistance is further up also. Maybe the problem is already fixed !
MOST
importantly, the poster may have already been referred to another group that is
specifically for their problem. So no need to add replies if the poster
has been informed they are posting at the wrong group.
Be
kind in your posts and your replies! Address the question and answers.
NOTHING else. Groups are not a place for personal issues. If the
purpose of your reply isn't to address the question with a solution or
similar problem, then a reply is not necessary. Everyone, both admins
and members volunteer their time here and the other groups to help
everyone. So respect for the group itself is first and foremost, and
the group is members who have questions and need answers. Remember,
everyone sitting at a computer is a real person.
Please don't
hijack a thread. That means, if you have a question also, especially a
different one, start a new post! Don't put another unrelated question
in the same thread. There's no way for other members to find answers if
you do.
Sometimes a word may need to be italized or bolded, or capped or quoted to emphasize as a way of further explaining. However, please
don't type in all caps. Online this is the equivalent of shouting and
is very offensive. If however, you are visually impaired and need to
type in all caps, please mention that, and that you need the replies in
all caps also. Members are always willing to accomodate! :)
If
there is a language barrier problem, do the best you can and feel free
to mention that. There are many multilingual people on Multiply that
may be able to assist you or translate. And if you wish to reply yet
there appears to be a language barrier, feel free to ask for further
clarification.
Please
return, and in your thank you, let everyone know what worked to fix
your problem. That helps everyone. Sometimes it's more than one thing
that works, and sometimes none. Which means someone can further assist you or redirect you for help. Sometimes it's something else you find
that works that wasn't mentioned in the replies. So always come back to the post and let everyone know if your problem was resolved!
If you have any questions about this or other topics, please title accordingly and post >>> HERE
THANKS ! Your assistance is greatly appreciated! :)
