Quoted from Tomass:I also notice techs giving good advice only to get a shitty response from the one asking.
The one asking may get fewer or no responses next time.

Quoted from DCFAN:I think the biggest problem with helping people is that the people asking questions often don't provide a enough information
Or inaccurate information. Then blast you for not knowing what in heck they really mean or are looking for.

Quoted from Tomass:Perhaps pinside should have a way to tip the techs?
Robin brought up an idea like this some years back. Asking for input on things Pinside could add or do.
My response was no. ( at least for me )
The only thing I ever asked for was that as people learn, then in the future they help others. So pinball keeps moving forward. Just trying to make my little corner of pinball better and keep the ball rolling.

Quoted from OLDPINGUY:I received 3 emails this week for Bulb help.
I respectfully took the time to be of help, but 1, did not even reply with a Thank you,
A friend asked me about that once. He'd helped 2 people and never got a response. He asked me if it didn't bother me when you don't hear back. I told him no. Their game is going. I don't need my email doubled.
Though on Pinside I would like them to post what fixed it, to help others.

Quoted from EdHess:everything you probably need is here if you just look and search. But you have to take the time and THINK!
It helps.
Remember a person new to pinball and not much experience fixing things may go into full blown panic mode over their first issue.
Walk them through and help them learn and get more familiar with their game so next time it's easier. And they'll learn to search and study.

Quoted from timab2000:But sometime I find that help offered goes over my head somewhat.
That is the hardest part, trying to figure out the persons skill level or abilities.
Sometimes you have to go back and forth a bit to get them on a path that helps.
