Telling someone to "Search" - Do not reply to a question by telling someone to do a search. Kindly suggest a search link, answer their question, or feel free not to respond.
The links you provided were great. The only issue is telling the member to search. He is a new member (only 8 posts), so he probably doesn't have a lot of experience yet with using online forums. We need to follow these basic guidelines:
P.U.P.P.A.H
(Be Polite, Understanding, Patient, Professional, Attentive and Helpful)
- Be polite. We ask that you keep your language clean and polite.
- Be understanding and patient. You may be a power user or developer, but the person you?re talking to on the other end may be a complete newbie. Be patient, and provide all details possible if you?re posting about a problem (descriptive thread title always helps).
- Be a pro. Don?t get into arguments over dumb things. If someone responds in a poor or rude fashion, ignore it. If you notice a pattern of rude or poor behavior from a particular member, report them to our moderators. If you don?t have anything nice to say, don?t say anything at all. In a nutshell, ?think before you post?.
- Be attentive and helpful. Answer questions in a timely manner when you can, and provide thoughts and suggestions that might lead to the solution of a members? problem.
Compliance with these basic guidelines should see you sailing in smooth waters for years to come at Mobile Nations. You?ll make friends, gain knowledge, and become wealthy beyond your wildest dreams (OK, maybe not that last point).
