Rei Vilo 695 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I'm being tired of reading posts by newbies that do not respect the most basic elements of the netiquette. Some examples: No previous search. Questions posted when answers are already available. Topics posted twice or thrice. Rude comments. Topics in capital letters. Twitter-style acronyms instead of fully spelled words. Personal messages duplicating threads. So the question is: How to welcome newbies and keep the 43oh a nice place for everyone? I know netiquette deals with most of these issues. How to make newbies aware of it and enforce it? Frida 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fmilburn 445 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I agree. Maybe upon issuing a userid there is a notice directing them to a post about netiquette. In addition, many of them don't know how to provide the basic information needed to get a meaningful response to their questions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fred 453 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I find that 43oh has pretty much become just Energia support. The useful, informative and helpful community has gone and it's mostly just the stuff you described above. I don't check on here as often as I used to and may well stop completely.

bluehash 1,581 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I agree. Maybe upon issuing a userid there is a notice directing them to a post about netiquette.

Thanks @@Rei Vilo and @@Fmilburn, I can add that in, but it really does not make much of a difference. People will dump their questions, hope for an answer and then leave. There is already a sticky on the Energia forums asking for these very specific details. I'll take a few steps to request people for more information when they post questions.

Fmilburn 445 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 There is already a sticky on the Energia forums asking for these very specific details I suppose this is asking for quite a bit . But for those who really are interested in learning and getting a response to questions the following is a good link that also applies here: https://e2e.ti.com/group/helpcentral/b/weblog/archive/2015/07/17/5-tips-for-getting-quick-help-on-e2e It might be this can only be accessed if you are a member of e2e - not sure.

Rei Vilo 695 Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 Another idea from another forum:When a visitor is typing her question in, the forum scans it and shows answers. Basically, the forum goes through the question, extracts the keywords and performs a search based on them.The underlying software is used in many forums.Please find attached an example with a basic question on the RedBear forum.
