I haven't ever had to make a post like this. And I probably never will again. Im not posting this to anyone in general and im not upset at anyone in particular. I just felt that I need to at least make this post to bring attention to this so it doesnt happen in the future...
The issue....I had a person take time out of their day to send me an email about the way they were treated on the forum. This was a new member and he/she was looking for information on buying a slingshot. I didn't personally see the thread and im not going to search for it because i already am wasting enough time by making this post. I was just advised that the replys they recieved were negative and not helpful. I was also told the content of the replies. Some were great and some not so much..
Here is why i am bringing this up. In the last month i have spent OVER $500.00 paying for someone to help me cross post to facebook and for boosting certian facebook post so they reach a greater audience. WHY...... Im trying my best to bring new members to the forum. We need new people to keep the forum growing.
Back to my issue.... I know this person was really looking for information about making a Slingshot purchase. I also know that they felt like their questions were not taken seriously. And apearantly the post that were made were of no value toward helping make a informed purchase decision.
I know some of you go out of your way to say hi to every new member that post. Thank you very much for that. I dont expect that from everyone. I dont even ask for anyone to post anything when a new member makes a post.
I guess all im asking is that before you post something stop to think about this....... Most people don't have every Slingshot specification memorized like most of us.. So even something that sounds like a stupid question to us should be answered to the best of our ability.
We seem to forget that most of us know each other and how we speak in person. So we know how to take each other.... We need to remember that a new member could be any age or any gender... and they may not understand our humor our brand of humor.....
As i always say... Im not pointing to anyone and i dont want yall to do that either. Just have fun and carry on.
ALSO THIS ISNT RELATED TO THE ABOVE ISSUE AT ALL.. YALL GOTTA CHILL ON THAT CORONAVIRUS THREAD. ITS ALMOST READY TO BE MOVED TO THE NSFW SECTION..... OR EVEN WORSE.... THE POLITICS THREAD.... LOL
