keestha Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Sometimes people who are in a vulnerable phase of their life are posting, seeking guidance for personal problems. I tend to admire their courage, exposing themselves so much in a public forum. But then the keyboard tigers pounce on them mercilessly, and soon they withdraw into their shell.

Crossy Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 A number of off topic posts removed. FYI the lack of notification on quote is a forum bug, hopefully to be fixed in the next release. Back on-topic - I agree, it's particularly frustrating when, having taken the time to detail a reply the OP never returns, we don't know if he solved the issue or what Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy chef 1 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 I think sometimes it has something to do with the old saying: if I throw a bone to the dogs I don't wanna know if it tastes good... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back on-topic - I agree, it's particularly frustrating when, having taken the time to detail a reply the OP never returns, we don't know if he solved the issue or what This could well be the reason. By the time the person who made the OP has come back and reads thru the replies the topic has nothing to do with what he/she started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willyumiii Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 What exactly do you mean by "come back"? I am notified of any replies to my post, or any that I have commented on, via my email and can read them there. Yes, if I need to reply to a reply I must log in to TV to do so, But many times, input, reaction, or advise is all I want, and get that just fine from my email account, without ever actually going t the original thread again.

Yes, if I need to reply to a reply I must log in to TV to do so, But many times, input, reaction, or advise is all I want, and get that just fine from my email account, without ever actually going t the original thread again. If you walked up to someone, asked them for help, or information, they answered you, would you then just ignore them and turn your back and walk away ? No, I would hope not as that would be very ignorant and rude. Why should a forum be any different. In my opinion its reasonable and good manners to at least acknowledge the replies or response you get to your question, especially if it has helped you in some way.

ThaiPauly Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Many years ago I would start topics when I had drunk a few to many Chang's. I would remember the following morning that had started a stupid topic and be too shameful to read the replies. I now remember my golden rule "don't post anything if I have been drinking". That has kept me warning free for many a year now.....but maybe the fact that I no longer drink has helped too LoL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thongkorn Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Maybe because the posters never get an honest answer, just flaming and smart reply's. and then theres the Know alls who know every thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion its reasonable and good manners to at least acknowledge the replies or response you get to your question, especially if it has helped you in some way. Sorry... I should have mentioned that I will thank individual posters who provide good information or advice. Usually when I feel I have received enough pertinent replies and people who don't read other's replies start repeating the same information, I will post a general reply thanking those who did help and even suggest to the "TV power people" that it is a good time to close the thread. They almost never do. Then I will start ignoring the topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some the time window may have finished and the post is no longer relevant To others the discussion=may get side tracked or over aggressive. Some people are simply not happy with writing things down...especially in public and would rather just sit back and observe. There are several posters on TV who really do not have the ability to write a coherent answer and it would be wonderful if they didn't follow up on any of the threads!

None of us gets paid for doing this so a positive stroke or a like is our only reward. Yes, no one gets paid for replying. Some reply just for the gratification of writing down their own thoughts..no matter how bizarre. How often do you read replies that have absolutely nothing to do with the topic, or those who try to morph any topic into one that is about their own interests and not those of the OP? No one is paid to reply and also no one is required to reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets wait what @rawhod thinks about the answers At first, I thought about "not coming back"... ...but then having received so many good answers, thought better of it. I find it so frustrating when reading a long thread to find that the OP never comes back with additional information, a comment or a thank you, when members take the time and trouble to reply to their original post. So...thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
