Difference between CP/CN/IP/DP... and the rest "un"professional racket?

You have GOT to be kidding me.

I don't know what you were doing with searching, but I was able to find at least 102 threads about it in one search in 2 seconds.

http://www.badmintonforum.com/vb/search.php?searchid=87343

You need to learn how to search. Type in KEYWORDS only!!
I only typed in "CN CP" for the above search.

If you can't find the stuff you want, then you probably want to try different combinations.

For example, When searching for MP-100's threads, people can type in:

"MP100"
"MP-100"
"Muscle Power 100"
"MP 100"
"Yonex MP-100"

and so on.....this is just an example to show that, searching is something that people need to think about the phrasing

 

I think Pecheur better hurry up and write that FAQ article about searching..... ........ or did u decide to write it bluejeff?

1. Racket selection is like everything else in the world, there are always believers and non-believers. Which one is right? Mostly, it's down to yourself to make the judgement.

2. Most racket breakages are NOT due to regular usage. Other factors usually play major roles, such as racket clash, bump floor, bad string job, bad storage conditions, etc. If falling under the above issues, then any rackets could break, regardless what brand or model.

 

Well, before we update the Q&A article, we need something in addition to that.

I suggest Kwun that, when every time a new member join BC, upon his/her registration, we kind of "force" the user to read the article of Q&A, so that, people would be aware of there are things called "search" and "old threads" and "Q&A".

 

good idea, im for it

 

I wonder how many times people will read the license agreement before pressing the "OK" button when installing software. There is no way Kwan can find out if the new users really read the Q&A. Another solution is to give the new users a short quiz about the Q&A section. Only the ones who pass can continue.

 

That could be very effeciant, a short quizz so ppl are obliged to read the faqs

 

I remember a new member was asking who is the admin for BC.
(So, here goes Question#1, Who is the Administrator in BC? )

As long as we can make people read and understand, there should be less trouble.

 

These new guys are also required to take a test of 100 multiple chioce with another 100 fill in the blank plus a psychological test. Scores will determine the membership status:
1 90-100% correct, Royal Member
2 70-89% correct, Member
3 50-68% correct Associate Member
4 below 50%-please go somewhere else and don't ask who is the admin for BC.

 

And we will see the following happen
...no new members
...potential members will go tell everyone they know what a miserable site/forum BC/BF was and to steer clear
...membership numbers decreases...other 'fringe' members began to drift away
...Kwun will shut down BC/BC due to declining and 'snobbish' attitude of existing members...

 

So you meant that:
We should not be harsh to new member.
We should not be annoyed when people with 3 "posts" don't know how to search or don't know threads or theats
We should not laugh at people asking for adm

 

There are always a "learning progress" for everyone. Someone might take just 1 min to understand, well others might take several more trials.

Why we need to be harsh to brother and sisters? Overall, they want to be part of our community, part of our family. We should help them, at least be nice to them.

There are difference with "make a mistake once a while" vs "make mistakes every single time and ignore the advice". Think about this, if u r in a hurry to find an answer, but others kept making fun on u, w/o any real help, what u will feel?

Be helpful, be patient, or, at least, be nice...

 

can't forgot also, prior experience to the general idea of online-communities and the such.

those who have been members to dozens of other boards, perhaps some moderation and administration experience on one, will not even have to read the FAQ/read-me to understand proper etiquette and usage.

those who always steered clear from posting, but maybe creeped for a while, will have less trouble, than perhaps those who took their first few steps into the deep end of the web...

 

I don't know there is culture difference between Chinese and other countries, in fact, I find that some replies to new members with duplicated question are quite impolite and it should be what Rekingjoe feels.

I agree with LazyBuddy that we must teach our new member to best use the forum, but I think the presentation method can be more postive.

 

I don't mind to answer new members' newbish questions. such as "what is the most powerful racquet?!?", "what are U's and G's???"... hahaha

 

what is the most powerful racquet?!?
what are U's and G's???

pls help me i'm new thx.
