Title: dont PM me for robot questions
Post by: Admin on June 24, 2007, 08:38:31 AM
Reminder:
About 1/3rd of the private messages I get on the forum are 'how to build a robot' type questions. Please keep these to the forum. Others may have the same question :P

If you are afraid its a dumb question, search the forum and google first. If you cant find anything, its probably not a dumb question ;D

Admin,

Is there any possibility of you blocking your PMs? This would be a good way of keeping a lot of people from messaging you 'easily'

If they are really hard up for it, then they will email you. Sounds like a brilliant idea to me lol

Well I get a lot of non-robot related messages too . . . such as people pointing out errors in my tutorials ;D

I would think time management dictates that one stream of information is enough

There is a topic for tutorial mishaps, no?

Its on the mainpage and the contact page. But its not just tutorial mishaps, its other misc stuff too. Everything from spam to advice on Japanese in-laws (not kidding) :P
