Repeatative answers expecting points!

23 Views

All,

I would like to continue the discussion that Ruchit and Juan started in the thread How can we verify transport request before do the transported. in a more formal way so that all the members are aware of whats going on.

As Ruchit and Juan said, in the near past it is seen that some members in this community keep on giving the same answers (that has already been answered in the same thread itself) expecting points. This is realy useless and uncalled for and frustrating at times.

I think one major reason for this is to get the points and the T-shirt, but incase you guys are not aware, T-shirts wont be awarded from now on. Instead the money spent on shipping the shirts will be used to feed school children in third world countries. Read this blog from Mark : /people/mark.finnern/blog/2007/11/28/food-for-points

This i believe is an EXCELLENT move and offcourse would mean that those who post only with the sole motive of getting the T-Shirt will take a backseat and would bring the true contributors to the forefront.

I believe that all the members in the community are matured enough to know that the primary motive of this community is to exchange knowledge amongst us so that all of us can grow technically and the awarding of points is just a way to express your thanks. Mastering Basis is all about learning from others about things you dont know and teaching others all that you do know.

So, lets make sure we use this community in the right spirit so that all of us can be benifited!

Feel free to express your thoughts and opinions on this in this thread.

Cheers!

Bidwan
