I've joined this forum recently. Many of you old timers may have noticed that I've been answering some of the questions. Lately, I have not been getting feedback points. I'm about ready to call it quits if I don't start getting a higher rate of feedback for my answers. This is a nice forum, the free advice to people in need, but I would think the least questioners can do is immediately provide points!
Thanks
;)

SolutionSome people rate the feedback, some do not. Every so often, Jan (or one of us other "old timers") places a post in one of the threads that took a lot of people's time and did not rate the answers.
Yes, it would be courteous if all questioners did award points, but that is not always the case.
Your participation is welcome. An active community benefits all.

I guess that you'd be wrong, then. The least
that people can do is nothing.
If these points were so valuable, perhaps you
could use them to buy yourself a life.

Re: Not getting feedback points in return for answers
Free advice is worth every cent. Free "points" are probably worth even less!
I tend to agree with you that it costs nothing for the questioner to leave you feedback and it's discourteous not to respond in some way. On the other hand life is too short to be bothered by other people's discourtesy.
(If it makes you feel any better, maybe you should keep a "black list" of people who haven't awarded points in the past, and not answer their questions in future?)

Re: Not getting feedback points in return for answers
I notice you are a registered member for only just over one month.
For many questions, that may be just too short to already have found out WHICH answer did provide WHAT part of the answer.
Several people only give points (for all answers at once) when they Close a thread.
I can hardly disagree with that, although it is not MY usual habit.
However, I found out that it is not extremely rare to sometimes get points with over a year of delay.
All in all, I just see the points as a funny extra to the pleasure of gaining and spreading knowledge about our beloved VMS.
(but I must admit, since I entered top-10 I added it to my professional CV, and it certainly is no negative influence!).
For completeness, I will append my template for posters with a low awarding rate.
No copyright, you are free to use it (and take some of the effort out of my hands :-)
If some unanswered threads are very old, I use to add a remark on that right after the ---/quote--
Proost.
Have one on me.

Re: Not getting feedback points in return for answers
It can take a long time to move up in the "ranks", especially if you don't have a lot of time to contribute answers.

Re: Not getting feedback points in return for answers
Life would be great if one was always rewarded for doing something "good", but it's not always a "huge loss" if your not.
Perhaps one thing you might consider is using your real name or at least signing your message with a first name? Making it a bit more personal might help your quest for points. Maybe not.
Don't take it too hard ... the points _are_ imaginary.
Cheers,
Art

Re: Not getting feedback points in return for answers
I'd feel hurt, except that I actually have a
life. Best of luck in your quest for
self-esteem, though.

the lack of feedback is a regular topic and there are no definitive answers.
It is best not to give any significance to points and to supply answers for free.
