Welcome! You may have been rude once to a newcomer asking a simple question, well here is where you can know how to handle a situation like this again!
I will display examples of how to answer, and i will put in *you* as the OP's username to indicate that it's supposed to be your username. Let's continue...
---===Part 1: Overused Questions===---
On a forum, some newcomers to the forum might ask a question that is already been answered a whole bunch of times. I'm going to show you how you shouldn't respond.
*you* : Hello, i have a question. I was using SampleProgram and found that a button wasn't working...
BruhMan1268 : Dude you are soo stupid, look at the stickys you fucking dummy.
This is a BAD way to respond. If you really want to link the newcomer to a sticky, please be like this...
*you* : Hello, i have a question. I was using SampleProgram and found that a button wasn't working...
AngelFromAbove : That is a common problem, i sadly cannot answer in this very post but i may link you to a answer. www.sampleprogram.com/forum/post/sticky/answer/1256
See? Much more better...
But sometimes newcomers don't wanna read all of it. So it's also good to let them know where to look.
Now for when you do know the answer for something and you're not lazy to type it in.
BAD example...
*you* : Hello, i have a question. I was using SampleProgram and found that a button wasn't working...
FukU555 : dude ur so stupid u got 2 go and click on settings and do some stuff you moron how about you google stuff you idiot
This is a bad answer, it doesn't even give enough information.
Here is a good answer.
*you* : Hello, i have a question. I was using SampleProgram and found that a button wasn't working...
AngelFromAbove : This is a common problem, i'm not sure what button you are talking about but i may have luck guessing what button it is... If it is in the SampleGame window and the play button isn't working simply go into the start screen of SampleProgram and disable "Keyboard Nope" it should work... Have fun!
This is perfect! The comment is being nice and giving correct and informative info to the newcomer...
It doesn't matter if it was asked a million times, in fact these would be good to practice being nice to answer...
Just be nice and act like you are trying to teach a baby to grab a cube.
---===End===---
Now this is going to be updated with more stuff so don't worry! This isn't just it!
If you have some more stuff to teach, comment below and i might even include it!
If you ever see someone being rude to a newcomer, PM them this thread.
Anyways, have fun!
Buh-Bye!
