Bother and confusicate! I fear that this chat is useless. :'( I fear we need a better chat before we can graduate. @syb0rg @JVarhol @Jivings Don't you agree?
Anyways, I think people just are popping on here for a quick question and not staying around to help the community, which is what we need for a good site.
I'm just marauding through the un-answered q's list posting "Have you solved it?" comments and flagging OT. It's absurd what is hidden away in there, especially the answered-in-the-comments questions!
@syb0rg I think a bunch of these users don't even know they can self-answer, we might just need to get the word out and eventually it will catch on.
OMG! Why are there so many answered-in-the-comments questions???
@syb0rg Another issue that I think may be happening is that users come in, ask a question, and then when they don't get an answer really fast, they leave and never come back.
I would wager a good chunk of the users are one/done people that ask a question, get an answer and leave, often forgetting to or just simply not wanting to mark an answer.
@Jivings @syb0rg Just wondering if you guys are seeing this, but this 1 rep user Fred is answering battery related questions left and right with basically a similar answer each time regarding this MoPi kickstarter. Possibly spamming?
@Jivings @syb0rg Yeah...I think he's spamming this Kickstarter in a rather quite way...it's sneaky and they look good, but all end up back with MoPi... :P
@Jivings Sorta....just check his user profile and you can tell...they aren't blatant spam, but they do seem to be promoting a single product...not sure if that's okay or not.
@Jivings Good answer...I agree, we need to welcome and talk to new users more. Just ask @JVarhol ... I welcomed him/chatted a bit with him and now I would consider him pretty involved in this site, being #14 for the quarter in reps and 183 rep in only 34 days (+100 from association).
