Incredible

[quinie]

A short time ago I submitted an answer before I noticed the poster was on my "don't help" list. Thought I would check his profile and to my complete amazement he has a Quick Draw badge.How can this happen when he has only answered twice (in July2010 and nov 2011) and they weren't even proper answers. Some ABers will probably know this person Questions-570+
Answers-2.
How can the Ed justify this award?

Que?

[NOX]

You have a 'don't help list' ???

[askyourgran]

You have a don't help list???? Am I on it? Does anyone else have one?

[Prudie]

Furthermore quinie their best answer tally is 0. How does that work then?

[rockyracoon]

Lol, I would like one but I'd forget who should be on it. ;)

[dotty.]

jeez, a 'don't help list' ? that sounds like hard work, i just ignore folk i dont want to help. don't need a list.

[joeluke]

A "don't help" list?


Sad


(Immediately gets added to "don't help" list)

[quinie]

Wish now I hadn't posted anything.Some of you have made me feel a right prat.I don't literally have a list.

[quinie]

The whole point of my post was actually to get opinions about the badge award but I should have known better...

[bednobs]

i know what you mean quinie. Although i don't have a list i absolutely refuse to post in some people's Threads, even if it's to answer somone else, or to join in with banter

[tiggerblue10]

I've just had a look at my badges and I've got "Quick Draw", "Chatterboxer" and "Debator". And theres me thinking I was a crap debator!

[Prudie]

Of course you don't quinie and those who look at Q&P regularly would totally understand what you mean. I have a couple myself.

[DTCwordfan]

Thank you bednobs, that why we don't see you on threads with gness/sibton/mrs o/tony/dave etc.....Oh well, not all can be pleased, can they?

[quinie]

Thanks Prudie.As you say regular users of Q and P will understand.
No,askyourgran, you're not on my list-thought you'd know that.

[wiltsman]

I don't have an actual written 'don't help' list, but I try to remember not to get involved in some threads, because of the actions of a few ABers in the past. But then I suppose I'm probably on a few contributors black lists myself.

I hope I make an effort to be civil in my remarks, but I do get carried away with a rant every now and again.

So I'll say sorry in advance!

Very true quinie. 570+ questions, no please and no thanks. But that simply shows what kind of person they are. And as your ''don't help'' list quip clearly shows it is a note to oneself - not a physical list. Seems some don't realise that. But eh oh!

In fact there are a number who fit into the not worth helping category - but cran275 definitely is the 570+ and rising outright leader.

Quinie - as far as the badges are concerned, I believe they are computer awarded; not the Ed's fault. No further comment really necessary.

[craft1948]

I don't have a 'don't help' list as such, but I do have a few certain posters who I try and avoid (as I don't want suspending)

[askyourgran]

That answers my question then sir.prize, I wondered how I could get to be awarded anything. I didn't think I deserved anything. Thank you quinie.

that sounds like the one factor30 mentioned the other day. No answer was given but I suspect it's just the robots having a bit of fun.
