Flemur,
That's another topic going something like this; allow moderators(?) to remote into a newbie's computer to help fix the problem FOR A MODEST FEE. Quicker with included lesson than the back-and-forth of people only guessing and a much better use of human resources.
iliketrains,
Why do you choose a impossible scenario. Why would an experienced user answer at all unless they had a fix?
JoeFootball,
Very NOT funny to make fun of intelligence/experience.
Schultz,
You're correct. I have it on good authority that many experienced senior members have already left the forum and more are on the brink because of the 'dumming-down' now abroad. If this continues our experts will be noobs-with-attitude.
t42,
"To discriminate people on any brain related achievement ensue the opening of a can of worms."
This is exactly what the forum needs: brain-related experienced advisers.
"so many 1-post users disappear immediately after getting the answer."
Then our job has been done successfully. They will be back for their next question.
its quantity indicates how actively you are begging for it vs not care
On the contrary, if the advice is effective, it will promote ever-more members to join.
correct answer often is born directly from wrong assumptions, it's a team work
However effective solutions are found more quickly by knowledgeable, experienced people than by inexperienced people's shot in the dark.
Moem,
If you have been on the forum for some time and your 'Level' is over 10
. then you may have asked a lot of questions, or simply like to chat.
By the time a member is at 10, it is unlikely even noobs won't notice.
Accounting: I suggest that the problem solvee be responsible for allocating [SOLVED]s. It's easy in a direct and clear solution. In a complicated, many-member discussion the onus will be on the solvee to allocate to the solver who they believe effected the correct solution.
t42,
This forum is happy to have a lot of knowledgeable people. But it's a silly idea to motivate them with some badge.
Just go to the Microsoft MSDN forums and see how useless Microsoft certified experts are.
This is not for the benefit of the solver, it is for the benefit of the solvee and indirectly benefits all of us by not wasting time and human resources.
HaveaMint,
Who is an expert? For every person that claims to be an expert there is always someone who knows more. If advise is given that isn't correct there is someone who will challenge that advise. So to claim someone as an expert may not be the best choice for any given advice on anything.
I am an "expert" at not knowing everything but I really would prefer not having that title.
Of course we welcome people who know more. Don't get caught up with titles. Call them bathtubs forchrisakes! If two people know the answer to a topic, don't we all benefit? It's certainly a better situation than having NO experts and relying on politically-correct nerds with little knowledge, no experience and wanting to make a name for themselves in a forum with fake names and almost complete invisibility.
