5. How is What The Tech different from other support forums?
We pride ourselves on offering a welcoming, family friendly site. If you see something inappropriate, or have ideas to improve the site, please contact us. We are also a teaching site, helping others to better help you. The Classroom is our malware removal school. More information can be found here.
6. Why is support only offered via the forums?
- More efficient. Instead of waiting for a specific person to respond to a request, many people have the opportunity.
- Better support. We all have different strengths. Presenting a problem to everyone allows the person best able, a chance to respond.
- Help others. A question posted and answered in the forums allows others with the same issue a chance to read and resolve it.
- It's free. We ONLY offer free help. We do NOT offer on-site, toll-free or remote assistance. We're often confused with other 'geeks'.
There are primarily two ways:
- Provide consistent, quality replies. We are much more concerned with quality than quantity. If you consistently offer quality replies, you will be contacted by a moderator or admin.
- Graduate from the Classroom. Due to the difficulty, and possibility of causing harm, only staff members are allowed to reply to topics in the malware forum. The Classroom is a training course that will provide you with the knowledge needed to answer malware topics. It's not easy, and will require a time commitment of a few weeks or months.
