PLEASE READ - Simple Good Manners Needed!
-
I have to admit that I'm quite poor at replying to other peoples posts.
Unless I can say something constructive I tend not to say anything, I don't like just typing 'Good job' or 'Well done' etc. because they invariably don't reflect the effort/work by the original poster....So I don't type anything....Weird.I'd love it if we could award stars (like iTunes), that way I could show my appreciation without the need for a 2 word post.

Or a simple thumb up.
I've seen star rating systems on various sites, and they rarely get used properly. Usually just the two extremes, all or none. -
First of all... Thanks for bringing this up, Mike...!
Although this should be common sense and something that applies everywhere, far too many users seem to forget about this...I tend to agree with thomthom... I don't believe a voting system would be the solution...
The person posting the question should always pay a little gratitude with a small "thank you" note, if someone else have taken time to reply with an answer...
Or... Treat others like you expect them to treat you...

Hi Paul,
I totally understand your not typing the 'Good Job' or 'Well Done' etc after reading a post. I am talking about members that post questions, then get comprehensive answers, often with time taking models etc and then saying nothing.
I realise that some of these members may well PM the helping member and thank them and that is good but I think a simple 'thanks' or
on the topic would not go amiss and set a good example.Mike

Also, if you ask a question, then work it out yourself, it'd be very nice that the person posted the solution so that others that come across the post with similar problem can benefit.

That makes sense Thomas

It's truth. Thanks to reminding. Even a small smile encourages !
MALAISE

Even though I changed from second to third person during a sentence..?
Good. -

Only a little thing but it bugs the hell out of me;
Somebody posts a topic that says "Help urgently needed!!!".
Plenty of people respond with possible solutions but we never hear from the original poster again. What happened to them? Did everything go well or did they die with worry? -
Come on, Jon, we all learn a lot from these posts and have fun in the mean time! Who loses anything if not the poster?
But yes, sometimes I also wonder what may have happened...

-
Yeah, maybe the poor sods got the sack
-
LOL. Sacked, shot, ran away, whatever. They could at least let us know.
-
i think people that ask questions should have to post their address. that way if they don't respond when answered we could go visit
them and explain the error of there ways. 
maybe even model them a fish to sleep with. 
or a horse head for their pillow. WAIT, i forgot SU dosn't do organic very well. never mind.
-
Right xrok1 your the ideal candidate, that's going to be YOUR job so you better get busy modelling fish and horse heads
-
Thank you, Mr. Lucey.
The thing that helped me show (sort of) good manners here in the SCF was remembering that behind all those curious avatars are real people. And a good resource to understand this were the old issues of CatchUp, which contained interviews with moderators, ruby writers and others. I can't find the link to these old issues right now, but I think they are priceless for newcomers.
EDIT------- Here's the link:
http://www.sketchucation.com/old/forums/scf/catchup/
I wish there was a link to these issues in a more visible place, as they also contain the single best tutorial on using Subdivide&Smooth and Free Form Deformator. -
You are right - the CatchUp issues should be put into a more accessible place. We'll definitely let people find it easier.

I hate these headers anyway
the title of a topic is supposed to tell you in a few words what to find in the thread (although I have to admit that my titles are sometimes a whole novel ).
most topics on this forum need help. of course you could put an 'Urgent!!!' behind the description and remove it, once the problem is solved or help no longer needed. but state what you need help about in the first place.with the star idea: maybe we could add a little flashing star-icon to the smiley list, that would be cool
