I read somewhere on this board that if you don't have permission to post on someone else's post you can get kicked and that "New Members" are not allowed to help other people. Is this true?

For instance:

If I were to say to get Mike Lin's Startup Control Panel or Codestuff Starter would I be in trouble?

Thanks!

I sure hope not , It would be kinda useless to be a member and not allowed to help. Just to come here and read would not benefit anyone. There is a post/statement redarding reviewing/evaluating HJT lodgs and responding to them. I am a member of SWI, and I don't respond to the logs.

Even if its not a HiJack This question?

[lamuskrat]

I guess I'm asking also. We cannot assist in any matter unless we are in the HJT classroom here? Even if we are in a HJT class elsewhere and standing members in other tech sites?

The idea is that we are trying to keep the boards as professional as possible. While you may have considerable technical skills, we don't know that. Also, it gets confusing for the victim if many people are giving contradicting suggestions. Like LD said, we are always open to new classroom members If you feel like posting help to people, but don't want to join a formal classroom, try the OTHER COMPUTER PROBLEMS section of www.castlecops.com wng Also, If you wish to help other people, and have had training at other forums, please pm one of these people: siggyx dgosling chrisrlg They will be able to assist you. wng

Let me jump in here for a second. When it comes to the hijackthis log thread we ask that only helpers respond. If you are not a helper you may get banned from the forum. That goes for "helpers" from other forums. If you want to help on this forum with HJT logs you will need to join the classroom and move up the ranks and be approved to respond. How fast you move through the training is directly related to your experience. If you do assist on other forums your time in the classroom should be limited. When it comes to the other threads please feel free to chat. If you come across a hjt log in a different thread please dont respond to it. We try and point them to the right forum. The reason we ask people not to respond to a hjt thread is that once responded too it may get passed over by a real helper. Hope that clarifies things We are always looking for new classroom members to help join the fight.

Thanks! That sound right and I'm glad it has been clarified!

[wng_z3r0]

siggyx, are you saying that others can post in the "other computer problems" forums? wng

1.) Before posting, make sure you have read the New Members post. It's there for a reason.
2.) No flames will be tolerated
3.) DO Not post help to another user's hijackthis log unless you have been given permission to do so,
not following this guideline can get you banned from this forum
4.) This is NOT the area to post your Hijackthis logs, proceed to the following link: HijackThis Forum

The rule is not to hijackthis logs. It is up to the user to determine if they want to take someoens advise.

Thats what I said, I haven't responded to any HJT logs even though I'm in training now, but to respond to other issues (not related to HJT), I shouldn't have to join a classroom. So in order to help others here you do or do not require people join the HJT cassroom, even in other areas ie; hardware, software, and general posts regarding updates, etc.? Just tryig to stay on the good side of the Mods/Admins here, don't want to start off on the wrong foot.
