Closed to new repliesThis discussion is closed. It stays readable, but it takes no new replies.

This rude individual has asked 30 questions, and has taken the answers and ran.

Never has this "person" rated a single answer.

Never has this "person" answered any questions.

Never has this "person" participated in any discussions.

This is what I would call a major leach.

Had I looked at profile before, I would NOT have given this ungrateful worm a single response, let along look up a solution and post it.

This account belongs on the Wall Of Worms.

Think I really went overboard about this person?

When I saw the 30 spit in the faces this individual did, I felt COMPELLED to post this.

Don't mean to offend anyone (except for sahilshaa@).

(I do feel better though)

...I won't allow it.

No, you're not over the top. And you're not saying anything that a lot of us haven't said (or thought) before.

I wouldn't mind if all of the unrated answers that I provided were rejected. I just want them rated and to have the questions closed when the poster is satisfied with the answers that were provided.

I wouldn't single out any particular person though. Lots of people ask questions and never follow up with a rating for the answers. Once I got my 'little blue box' for answering questions I stopped reading the TQ&A section.

by jdclyde

After 30 questions leached without rating a SINGLE response, this individual deserves to have their account disabled as it makes the Q&A less atractive to people that would go in and answer questions (like you).

So every now and then, someone will aspire to EARN this distict privialage as being leach of the year.

Ever seen one?

Some posters will be on either end, most are in the middle. Just accept this fact of life and plug away...

I am willing to burn a 1000 points a week for the Wall of Worms contest.

In fact, I will post it up today!

Unleash the hens of doom and be damned he who is pecked first!

to see that I am not the only one bothered by this boarish behaviour.

I have found most techs would rather have that simple "thank you" than money in cases like this. A helping community, with a little friendly competition to try to catch up to COL or someone. (not holding my breath)

support this and post it in rotation with you.

maybe a link to profile of worm nomination for checking to see if it's a worthy nomination.

I found a leech, may we burn him?

This BFilm guy, does nothing but help people out and answer questions. NEVER asks anyone for help and is always a one sided participant. Too much give and no get!

OR is it supposed to be the OTHER way around we are looking for? :D

OzMedia, now this one's dumb as a stump. Asks the dumbest questions, rejects all the answers and THEN STILL gives awy points!

Just recently he posted about a Thunderbird mail issue with a disappearing mailbox. No matter what people tried, he just thanked them very much for their help but then rejected the answer anyway!

Some of these people just need to be kicked out, we don't need it here.

I can add comments yet, cause I am not going to reject any answer, but my comment to Oz will be as follows:

Awww you made me get all sniffly and tear-eyed. Now I will have to get some maderia and put on some Sinatra singing, "It Was A Very Good Year."

PS: I can be bribed with good conversations with a redhead over a Twisted Martini. Especially if they have Tom Jones on...What's Up Pussy Cat Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

I don't pay much attention to see if a question has been closed or not.

From the otehr side, I beleve I've asked 3 questions.

I answered the first one myself, but I don't remember if I closesd it.

I split the points on the second one, I forget why.

The third one I meant to close as an unresolved problem. It wasn't fixed, but it is no longer a problem. But I accedently closed it without explination.

by jdclyde

Lol, sorry. Couldn't resist.

This is meant about repeat offenders and to maybe promote awareness about this.

If people become aware that there behaviour is rude, MAYBE it will change.

I haven't asked a question yet, but I will soon. When I need the help I hope there are still people out there that still enjoy this sort of exchange.

Must be using Windoze servers.

That or connecting over dial-up with their AOL account. (after all, it has spam blocker)

(or both)

Hey TR, Who loves ya baby?

by sleepin'dawg

I looked in on TQ&A and posted some responses, I didn't care about the points, just wanted to help. A simple acknowledgement of receipt would have been nice but after posting into the void for a few weeks, I gave up and decided to skip TQ&A as it seemed to be a total waste of time. I know some of my posts helped but if people are too rude to even acknowledge you, why get involved
with a bunch of ingrates.
