"Failed to search" option is gone in Alert moderator button

[sez41]

Am I the only one who has noticed that one cannot choose "Failed to search" anymore after clicking Alert moderator button? Here are the five possibilities I could choose from, and none of them makes sense when a very basic, too many times discussed topic is opened again with a new question:

There are still too many too basic questions being asked everyday. Maybe I am one of the very few left in Sales related discussions who still keeps alerting moderators, but if that functionality will not be able to be used anymore, then I will not be alerting moderators from now on either. I mean what's the use then?

If this change was already addressed, then my mistake. Please alert a moderator by choosing Failed to search as an option. Oh, wait.

P.S: I did search indeed, but I'm not sure the search functionality is working good enough. I'm pretty sure I used to find out similar content within SAP Community way too easily many years ago. Now one can't find anything at all whilst searching (Maybe that's why Failed to search is not active anymore -> One cannot find out anything even if he searched.)

Thoughts?

Please see the rules of engagement https://www.sap.com/community/resources/rules-of-engagement.html

It is not mentioned/required any more.

Hi Tammy,

This addresses why this functionality is of no use anymore. But;

1- Is it my fault that as a very active user for years, I was not aware of this change? I have not gotten any notification about this change. I believe any change regarding Rules of engagement should be communicated to all users automatically.

2- As a user of this community, do you think it's good that contents like these are not discouraged anymore? I mean what happens when a user asks a question like this:

I'd like to learn which transaction is used for creating sales orders in SAP. Please do the needful.

3- I would also like to learn your opinions as a moderator about this type of content.

Thanks for your time.

Hi - it is SAP's site to decide what to do - please see Mynyna's blog announcing new rules of engagement https://blogs.sap.com/2018/08/03/rules-of-engagement-for-an-inclusive-community/ - for an inclusive community
