dbroada Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 I think you need 10 technical posts before you can pm or post links without them needing approval.By technical areas I mean not in the chat section. Quote
dbroada Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 this is post 10unless a mod gets in quick and deletes a few of them. Quote
ReMark Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 Alas, poor Stibreakers, we did not know him/her well. Easy come and easy go. LoL Maybe the forum Gods will have pity on you and let you live to post another day. Quote
Stibreakers Posted January 11, 2013 Author Posted January 11, 2013 Ha ok the reason I needed to PM was to get in contact with someone who had the same question as me. This way I would avoid unnecessary posting / get a quicker answer, etc. Its not like that was my first post and i wasnt spamming .. just trying to get a qs answered. O and hehe were SOLIDWORKS users ! dun dun dun.... Quote
ReMark Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 What's Solidworks? As in "do me a solid"? Never heard of it. Quote

Glen1980 Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Well if rules/problems are easily circumvented people will work around them, pretty much like working with CAD, it doesn't do quite what you want so you work around it with a LISP etc. Luckily I hadn't come back to the forum so I only got the one email with the first cheeky message, hope it didn't clutter Daves in box!

Glen1980 Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 It's just too simple to get around. You would hope that people made 10 useful posts but people do like to take the easy way! Quote

Nothing is full proof. The hard part is to find a a compromise where spammers can't PM people and the rest while trying to avoid frustration like this. While it never really affected me, this sort of situation does annoy others as it can be seen as a detterent to join. Quote
SLW210 Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 Main point being, it is more helpful to the entire CADTutor Forum Community to post questions and provide answers in the FORUM, not through PMs. OP lists his CAD platform as AutoCAD 2012, then claims to use Solidworks. Useless posts have been deleted. Quote
ReMark Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 If all useless posts are going to be deleted no one here will ever know I was a forum member. Or was I? Quote

PotGuy Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) Useless as in.... This is post # We know what you meant SLW. Edited February 26, 2013 by PotGuy Quote
PotGuy Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Just had a thought. Is there a way to leave a notice on the PM saying that any CAD questions will be put into a Thread due to the higher probability of getting the answer desired, or words to those effect? Quote
ReMark Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Just suggest that the person post to the forum. That's all it takes. Quote
