These are my thoughts not only as an administrator but also as a human being and a professional with several decades of working experience with PCs/servers/datacenters. I know that a lot of things should be common logic, and common sense, but apparently, they are not so here we go:
Rant start/
When a person comes on this site and is looking for software, the last thing we should say is "google it".
In my opinion, it only makes one look foolish and bad. If that is the idea, then why do we have a request section? Why do we even have the forum?
Someone wants office??----> google it. Plenty of sites!
Does someone want adobe products?----> gooooogle it!!
Do you want Windows??? guess what?-----> goooooooooogle it!!!
Ok so let's close the site and move on.. is that what we want? You may be shocked but not everyone knows the same things we do, or have our experience. Not everyone can tell if a program is safe, and not everyone knows how to use Google effectively nor they should. Not everyone has the resources we do. They come to this site because they trust us and to have a nice experience... so either provide if you want to be helpful or don't comment.
We all know that 95 out of 100 sites especially in the APK market are malicious and malware-infected. Would you put any apk on your phone? NO.. then why ask others to do that. Did you try to see if the app/apk is even working before you suggest? People come here with the expectation that at least we did an effort to make sure that the software we publish is relatively safe but also in a working state. That's why we have virustotal results and take seriously any virus reports that come along and that's why we limit the number of uploaders to people we trust and prove their worth. Sure the system is not perfect, but we do the best we can at least.
And then the worse part... INSULTING the person and their intelligence. It's simply unacceptable. Because some people may have ranks of any type in this site, it doesn't make them better than others. Whoever uses insults... only shows his own level of knowledge and what kind of people are they. Dont get me wrong, some people absolutely deserve it, but generally calling people lazy and stupid and other such "cosmetic" words without a good reason... will not be tolerated from now on. So if you see your comment removed, now you know why. Dont assume what others know or don't know or that they haven't done their part (searching) before they make a thread here. It takes strength to ask for help and admit not knowing. No one should make fun of or ridicule that.
Rant end/
So from now on please use this as a base to expand and use the request/help section.
For those who request:
* People who request should I least use the site search before they ask for something. A lot of times what is asked could be easily get found with a simple search. If possible do a google search too and if you come empty, then please do ask.
* Be specific and provide details. It helps reduce the number of questions and back and forth.
* Understand that this is not a generic help section. We are not here to solve all your problems or to teach you. We are a torrent site. We would like to help but within our boundaries.
For those who want to help:
When to help and NOT say "google it"
* When someone asks for software. If you can help, unless there is a VERY SPECIFIC reason, either upload said software for the person that requests and others who want it, to be able to get it, or pm the person with a link you know it's working... or sibt write a comment at all. That simple. Exceptions are when people ask something wrong like I want windows 2111(no such version), or ask for photoshop to do spreadsheets (clarification/confusion). Dont ask why they need the latest versions, don't suggest older versions, especially when they ask for a specific one, don't tell them to wait, they know that... Just provide a link if you can, or ask for clarifications, or no need for a post/comment at all.
* When people have a hardware or generic windows/software issue (not specific to a certain build). Disk showing errors for example, etc.
* Virus issues but not ransomware. For ransomware, the answer is always the same for the time at least.
When to actually say to "use google" if you don't feel like answering.
* When they ask opinions like "which is the best for this or that". The short answer is, that there is no best. If there was a best we would all be using it.
* When they ask generic info like "what's the difference between home and pro".
* When they ask for guides and how to use something, like "how do I use the mouse" or "how to do pivot tables in excel". Plenty of guides with images and even videos on the net.
* Ransomware-specific threads.
* In general when the topic is educational or opinion based and not factual. "Is wifi messing with my microwave oven?"... google it
When requests will not even be accepted.
* When they ask for specific windows build issues. Post in the thread that you downloaded the windows/software. That includes activation, windows not getting installed, etc.
* When the request is about phones. How to unlock, how to root etc. There are phone-specific sites, better visit them.
* When the request is in general outside the scope of the site. We are a torrent site, not an encyclopedia site.
Of course, the above points are not absolute, and using our best judgment is always recommended. Sometimes we might want to explain why there is no solution to ransomware issues, that's ok. We might want to suggest if something can be done differently with other software. Nothing is set in stone, nothing is absolute.
No matter what, be respectful and answer in the same way you want others to answer to you.
Hope the above will help the section to become even better.
Thank you for understanding and know that the thread will remain open but keep the comments relative to the subject.
