Yes some people do ask very pointless questions sometimes and some people have mentioned about how annoying it is that new geeks ask questions..... If no new geeks joined this site it just wouldn't go anywhere would it??
Agreed lots of questions have been asked before... But everyone should know the beauty industry changes ALL the time. So something that got posted last month might get a different response this month.
I'm certainly not here to sit and watch people baffle on about how much experience they have, how msny jobs they have had etc which makes them far better than anyone else.
I do t think this site should be here to try and drag others down. If you don't like a post. Don't read it, it's really quite simple. There's no reason to be nasty about it
Nice post. I have found most members are happy to answer all sorts of questions, even those who have been members for years and are likely weary of the same topics but recognise as you have said that people might post to get different advice from different sources or because previous threads didn't apply to them, maybe they needed more answers for whatever reason or previous info was out of date.
As for questions that seem ridiculous to some ie. basic business management skills, what one person finds easy another struggles with.
Whilst some questions have been answered countless times I agree that there is no need to be rude, sometimes I see that some members will post a link for previous threads to help out and generally it seems most of us are supportive when we can be and appreciative when we need questions answering.
For example this very thread you could argue involves a subject covered before, yet there are quite a few of us it seems prepared to offer our opinion on it.
Unfortunately I realise that you will always get a few that feel the need to be rude, as much as you will get those whose only interest is to baffle :-D on about what they have done in life or to patronise and make others feel small as this makes them feel better...that's just the way it is.
I like to help if I can, I figure I might have some bit of knowledge or a past experience at times that helps someone else, I hope so. I have received help also since joining this site.
The thing that gets me down is when the person asking gets unpleasant because the answers aren't what they want to hear.
Also blaggers, they get me down aswell. :-D
