BatMUD Forums > Flame > Re: HOW TO REACT TO THE ANSWERS
If you ask somebody for something, such as 'could you implement this',
'could you help me make some exp', etc. Favour of any kind.
If we assume that you got past the previous flame and actually asked
the question. And lets face it, if you didn't, you don't have an
answer either, right?
If the answer is no, it pretty much always, invariably means 'no'.
If you ask the same question again, the answer will still be 'no'.
If you ask it 20 times more, it won't change, so just please shut
the fuck up already.
And if the answer wasn't no, you don't need to read this, right?
-Era of the idling
PS: As an addendum to previous post, and somewhat to this. Be
polite. It gets much farther than whining and crying.
PPS: I wasn't planning on this, but upon request I added this
second part, partly about the request and partly my own flames.

Be polite.
your superiors and ask some (possibly) stupid questions about how segmented
pouches work as they dont have any help files.
Also, from my own experience, sending that 3-6 line long question does not
generate answers if the person is not in the \"tune\" to listen you. Hell,
neither do i answer to my superiors if they don\'t first snap me out from what
ever im doing and turn my atettion to them.
This is not aimed to be \"pilkun nussintaa\" but friendly reminder that those
that ask \"you got a minute for a Q?\" are trying to be polite AND to get
answer to their possible question if the person in the other end has time to
listen them.

"Sorry can I bother you" - is polite, yet annoying.
"Sorry, can I bother you? I was wondering if you knew <insert question here>"
- is just as polite as above, but much less annoying
"You got a minute for a Q?" is also annoying. "You got a minute for <quest
name or levelquest #>" is much less so.
