Moderators DavidB Posted January 16, 2006 Moderators Share Posted January 16, 2006 You need to get Showmasters to add a little "Please go here first for all answers ..." thing in a registration email, and in news emails too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it would hopefully pick up some of the people that genuinely miss it. But they'll always be lazy people that think... "I can't be bothered to read an FAQ it'll be quicker just to ask. And the question I want to ask isn't going to be in the FAQ anyway so why should I bother reading it." Even though as we know 9 times out of 10 the answer is in there.

Moderators DavidB Posted January 16, 2006 Moderators Share Posted January 16, 2006 Hmm true, we can cater for the stupid but not for the lazy it seems! Oh well, maybe get someone that's clever to add an extra button up there with the IMG and QUOTE etc that automatically replies GO HERE - FAQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Showmasters Admin Too Tall Posted January 16, 2006 Showmasters Admin Share Posted January 16, 2006 A pop up would be good. If someone puts a question mark in a post, the pop up says, have you looked at the FAQ!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showmasters Admin Too Tall Posted January 16, 2006 Showmasters Admin Share Posted January 16, 2006 (edited) A pop up would be good. If someone puts a question mark in a post, the pop up says, have you looked at the FAQ!!!!!!!! 913751[/snapback] Wouldn't that be really irritating though???!??? 913796[/snapback] Yep Almost as annoying as being asked the same question 5 times when it's already answered in an FAQ you spent days writing PS: Thanks for all your help on answering questions, and pointing people at the FAQ. You've been great (that goes for David too but he's been doing it since before I joined) PSS: I was joking about the pop-up Edited January 16, 2006 by Too Tall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then give it some service with a snarl. May I suggest a stock response of: "Oi, you snivelling little wretch! How dare you come in here asking questions that are covered in the FAQ thread?! Now get thee hence to the FAQ and don't come back unless you have a question that it doesn't cover. And no, there won't be anybody at the event to wipe your bottom, either!" Preferably in huge bold red type. That flashes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yeltz-lass Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I've already resigned myself to the fact that my tickets will turn up about half an hour after we leave on the Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freyja Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 (edited) I haven't received mine yet (And I've ordered quite a few - for myself and friends), but don't panic, I'm sure that a lot of people have purchased tickets so it's going to take a bit of time to send them all out, Showmasters will make sure we all receive them in time though so don't worry.
