MikeW Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Many of the members try to advise when forum users seek help with problems, and I am sure it is appreciated. However, it does get confusing when answers between experts and would be helpers differ considerably. It may well help occasional users and newbies to the forum if the experts were given a special Avatar to signify that their suggestions can be trusted. Rather than some of the well meant, but doubtful solutions. Just a thought Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit - IE11 - Nod32 - Mbam pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krit86lr Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Qualified members to analyze HJT logs on this forum are Rridgely, Tarun, AndyManchesta, and DjLizard. As for other help, many people are good helpers and I can't list them all.

Tarun Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 ASAP does not mean that a user is a certified pc technician. ASAP is an online certification. That truly does not mean much. Reference... I would put more trust into actual technicians who have their A+ certification. As far as I know, only DjLizard and myself have this certification.

MikeW Posted April 26, 2006 Author Share Posted April 26, 2006 Thanks for the response, I am more convinced than ever, that some form of easily recognised symbol is desirable for this Board, to help newcomers. Perhaps the forum moderator/administrator will give this some thought. Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit - IE11 - Nod32 - Mbam pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators hazelnut Posted April 26, 2006 Moderators Share Posted April 26, 2006 I can understand some of your confusion Mike over "experts" but I think also we have to keep a bit of perspective here. In the hijackthis part of the forum only certain people are allowed to post help ( the people krit mentioned) If we get to a situation that people have to have symbols to post reliable answers on other threads, well I mean, can so few people answer all the posts? I find on this, and other forums, that a good quota of answers are supplied by people who have experienced the same or similar problem themselves. There is also a possibilty that people may not bother posting solutions if they feel they may not be accepted through lack of a symbol.

Rather than some of the well meant, but doubtful solutions. Just a thought This is a good suggestion but I don't think this should be done in the whole forum. We do only allow certain members to answer in the hijack this log section(since mistakes here could be critical) but anyone can post in the other sections. Like hazlenut mentioned maybe someone has had a problem with a program before and can help someone else fix it. I can pretty much promise that if bad advice is given another member woule shortly see it and say it was bad. So if your worried about some advice either ask another member as well(in PM or on the forum) or wait for someone else to post as well. I will write up a rules sticky for the hjt section soon and it will list all of the members here who are allowed to post in the hjt section. As far as an icon or button for these people I think its ok but we would have to make something. Maybe something like this: (that was a quick 2 min job. If someone can do better and wants to make one that would be great.) This is definitely something to consider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lokoike Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Well, I believe I am the only certified hufu expert on this here forum, so just to prevent any future confusion: Hopefully this will alleviate any worries that other members might have about whether or not they are receiving erroneous hufu information. Save a tree, eat a beaver. Save a tree, wipe with an owl. Every time a bell rings, a thread gets hijacked! ding, ding! Give Andavari lots of money and maybe even consider getting K a DVD-RW drive.

Moderators Andavari Posted April 27, 2006 Moderators Share Posted April 27, 2006 In the hijackthis part of the forum only certain people are allowed to post help ( the people krit mentioned) If we get to a situation that people have to have symbols to post reliable answers on other threads, well I mean, can so few people answer all the posts? Well currently anyone can post replies in there. I would see it as a problem if someone else has experienced something like a particular infection and knows how to deal with it, and not being allowed to participate merely because they aren't deemed an "expert."

TheFiresInTheSky Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 i think thats a good idea but are all these icons necessary? arent we honest enough to admit we dont know and give a guess? or at least dont answer if you dont know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
