| | |  You've got questions? We've got answers.
It's great to log in and find you have a PM. I love helping members out and I encourage you all to PM me with any questions you might have.
However, it is not so great to spend 30 minutes (or even 3 days) trying to help someone only to find out that they are also getting help from 5 other mods. This is beyond annoying; it is rude.
First of all, if you have a question, PM one mod or admin about it. If you want a quick answer, do not, I repeat, do NOT PM every mod on the online list and certainly NEVER EVER EVER PM every mod on the forum leaders list. This is beyond rude. There is no way for us to know who else you PMed or whether they are already helping you. It is a waste of our time for all the mods be helping one member on the same EXACT problem. At the VERY least, you should PM us back to say 'nevermind, I've got someone helping me now'.
If it is an emergency and you want the first mod or admin on to address your issue, post in the The Prefect's Office. This is a forum specifically for asking questions and getting help. There are several threads in there to choose from. General questions can be posted in the Questions Thread. For problems logging in or out, you can check out and post in the appropriate thread for that.
I've gotten at least 5 different PMs from members this week concerning problems that they had already PMed other mods about. I spent several hours trying to deal with a problem for one particular member, only to find out that they were working with another mod on the same problem at the same time!! This member never bothered to mention that someone else was helping them. Neither did they tell the other mod(s) that I was helping them. They just let us both help them at the same time, effectively wasting all of our time.
PM ONE mod if you have a problem. If they don't respond, you solve the problem, or find someone else to help you, please have the decency to PM that mod to let them know that you don't need help anymore.
Thank you.  | |

I know it can be frustrating to have to spend 3 or more days on a problem, especially when there are loads of members on the site PMing you every day. Thanks for the tips, I'm sure I'll keep them in mind  |

Hopefully, situations like this won't be happening ever in the future anymore.
Thanks for the reminder, Kris!

I've never done it and I don't plan on doing so anyway.

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |

I have to agree that it is very rude! And they are just slowing things up for other people. Be considerate!!!

Kris,
May I call you Kris?
That was poetry. Excellent instruction and I couldn't agree with you more that just a little bit of common sense and consideration on the member's part makes everyone's job easier. From the little I've seen, you've got a great thing going here!

Ya. Some people ask me questions, then when I answer them, they tell me they figured it out a long time ago. It drives me crazy when people do that, and you guys, being mods, probably have people asking questions more often then people ask me questions.

Thanks Kris...I should probably remember that. It sounds annoying when someone asking you for help with the same problem.

I can't believe some people actually pester ahlf a dozen Mods for the same thing. 
*pokes them* I hope I've never done anything to annoy you like that and if I ever have, I'm sorry.
