I have a question about RGR
I have a question about a thread
I have a question about my account
I have a question about Viz

etc....

Once they select an option it will only pm the person in charge of that kind of thing. Its obvious users are not going to read this thread and follow so forcing them to select an option might be better way to go. This also means people would not be able to manually type and send people pm's, at least not for staff members. Have them select an option, based on what they select have it go to the staff members in charge of that subject.


I LOVE this idea. I think it's great. Based on certain criteria it would send the PM to the right person. And once the process was started it would stay between the people involved.

This does go back to my idea of "joint" inboxes where a pm like this is sent to a common inbox and responded to from there by the first mod that sees it. That doesn't have to happen, but I think it would make something like this a lot easier to do once the system was in place.

Yea this would go hand in hand with the joint inbox idea we were talking about I think it would work perfectly

Canned response idea is ok but its not solving any problems because david would still be getting tons of PM's while the rest of staff get none which basically makes it completely pointless. I mean we could set up canned responses for each staff rank so it makes it easier for other staff to answer the same questions. But the canned response idea alone will not fix your PM problem.

If we want to fix the system we have to force the users into into a survey. Else I don't expect any of them to send PM to the right person unless they are trusted or have been around long enough to know who is who.

Yeah, that IS a good idea.

But I still don't understand why people keep PMing David when the Help forum is a click or 2 away. That's just lazy.

they PM him because he is the owner of the board so he'll give the best and quickest answers more often than not.

It is lazy when the information is either available or obtainable very quickly through the help section or through asking in a thread.

Actually the canned responses would hugely decrease the amount of time I spend on PM's. Opening a Pm, clicking an automated response, send...that's only a few seconds. But right now, I type up a custom response each time but if I could click a button for an automated response or to let them know to PM someone else, would be quick.

Maybe you should start sending them our way until you get something like that running. If it involves something you think nobody else can handle then do what you gotta do. Otherwise, refer them to us for the easier stuff.

Lol you still havent made the buttons though. I just PM'd you yesterday, so hopefully that was still ok (it was sunday), but does it matter what the PM is about on sunday?

And I think the button idea is awesome! If you actually follow through with it, can't wait. Haha

Actually the button idea has already been implemented, only staff can see it

As for the sunday bible viz, that'll be automated next month so it's fine to continue pm'ing me for that until than.

Wait... If the button idea was created so that the USERS would get off your back, then why isnt the users the one being forced to push the buttons? Or are the staff like the beta testers for it or something?

zmasta: nope. Based on what I've understood, you can still pm David about the bible every Sunday until it becomes automated.

People find it easier to pm David rather then actually look for a solution in the forums or in the FAQ. I've had the same questions as the other "newbies" around here just before asking I actually clicked the links that said "How to get Viz" and what not. But the whole button idea with automated responses would help loads. People never change so get your button mashing fingers ready.
