jott Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 This is a forum created to provide some help to new users of utorrent.Not every user is a technical wizard. The FAQs are full of terms and chargons that a new user might have difficulties to understand. If a question is simply answered by 'read the FAQ' and then the post is removed from the list does not give more charitable people a chance to answer in a more meaningful way.This is the first forum I ever come across where this practice is applied. It is a pitty, because it discourages one to askquestions and leads to fumbling along with improper settings, that in the long run will affect the effectivenes of the use of torrents. (e.g slow or inadequate uploads). My own personal experience is that I read the FAQ pages, understood only less than 5% and then started usingutorrent with very limited success. Going over the FAQs again confused me even more, because some of the observationsof my GUI were in variance with what the FAQs were saying. Wouldn't it be nice to ask a question at this point to clear upsome misconceptions ? But no, this would be against the rules!! Read the fine FAQ first !!!!

Ultima Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 User manual's in progress -- slow, but in progress nevertheless. We never said it's not okay to ask questions. We say read the FAQ FIRST before asking them. If someone doesn't understand something, the forums are filled with a LOT of answers, and if keywords are unknown, a new thread won't be destroyed, as long as it's obvious someone actually tried looking around first. It's really obnoxious when someone pops onto the forum hoping to be spoonfed answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 We'll help if you can't understand the FAQ, but we won't help if you can't even be bothered to look at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
