No one expected anyone to spoonfeed people around here. But if we all think like how you describe the situation then all forums can just close up for good. Why? Because like you said people who earn a dime by automation won’t share their knowlegde. This is simple not true, and is by far from what i expect. I don’t want people to hand out solutions just like that. But people on this forum can all, no matter which lvl they are help out. Take a look around. People who are asking for help are being helped by the same people over and over again. So you believe this is a lasting solution? It’s like a dead end tbh. Many users who have reached lvl2-lvl3 tend to stay passive. Mark my word not all users but MANY! Much more than the few you actually do help.
They know they can come in here and ask for help in lvl2 or lvl3 at any time, and also they have access to all corners of this forum ANYTIME they like. And they have to make no effort to keep that status anymore!
If people would be thinking like you have described, what’s they point of forums for sharing knowledge then? Then we could aswell close it all up. And trust me no business will be affected if people tend to hand out bits of solutions and not entire ones.
I simply won’t and can’t believe what you say. Now we all know there is a few forums around which basically works like mpsocial. I too am a member of those forums. I tend to see the same users being active on those forums, and the funny thing is, from time to time I see them evwn share solutions taken from this forum and shared on others. The moral of my explanation is, if you can manage to be active on otger forums, and even sharing solutions from this forum on other platforms, then you can be active here aswell.
If IG have people checking around, that wouldn’t only be here, that would be everwhere. I am sorry to say that is not an excuse.
As mentioned earlier.. I have been thinking about all the scenarious about this thread of mine. Actually I was in doubt of posting this or not, as I could just turn my back and say it is not my business. But this place used to be much more active and still it can be. At the end I thought I will bribg up my ideas. Either this will open some eyes or my suggestions includibg other people’s will be ignored, and that is it then. Nothibg more I can do
In the end I highly recommend you among others who chose to comment why you think people are not being active. Do indeed also share what you think can be done, so that we can encourage people to be more active. Cause simply just pointing fingers will not solve anything.
Already we have ideas like, be active or be degraded. Involving people from jv. It self to come here and help if possible. Back in the days I was notified about mpsocial by jv support! If they want people to come here and look for solution, then why not permanently hqve a few guys around here?
Maybe we could be more strict about the new forum rules. Make it harder as a beginner to create posts? Tons of beginners tend to come in, they don’t even bother to search for solutions. The easy way out to create a thread and ask for the same thing which has been asked million times before.
We have the explanation on how to reach different user lvls right here:
However this is by far not the case. I litterally have seen people being moved straight into lvl2-lvl3 upon their arrival.
If buying your way to lvl3 is a way, then make it visible to all users of this forum. So that people can all know. Put it in the guideline.
I have also seen great users pointing this matter out before. However this keeps on happening. It’s not motivating at all. I’ve seen users litterally asking not to hand out lvl3 access to users who get hold of a certain software licence. And I do undrstand their frustration. We have people here sharing everything they know and have and tryibg to build up their trustacore, and yet here comes someone juat getting moved up without any effort by just “buying” access. And these users are mostly very inanctive. And at the same time they have access to every solution and corner of this forum.
Again anything or any idea which is shared here is only to make this place better than it is.
This was basically my 2 cents.
