A new technique to teach people to be ethical

Hello All,
I have been reading a lot about people point hunters and mongers who spoil the forum...and almost every time I come to CC, i see one or the other one in the pool...
So i just thought of this idea....something like a Death Penalty...!
The method is very simple....
If any one is caught doing anything on the forum, which is forbidden, then simply delete the user id...One mistake(which gets caught) and down you go.....!
Let them come up with another ID, and obviously...sooner or later they will get caught...and again...delete them....
No Mercy at all....atleast someday they will realize that being ethical is the only thing that they can do to be on this forum...!!
What say ppl ??
Cheers,
Tatvagna.
P.S : There are many other things that can go with this...like the moderators being able to delete the ID's and some junior moderators, helping them....and so on...!

Sometimes I think too many people just have no job or a job which does not take too much energy. So they waste energy here.
Please more tolerance!
In every system you have signal and noise. In a system available to everybody the ratio signal to noise will get worse. Points or not - this won't change too much - the more as the t-shirts are hard to be called attractive gifts.
When I get angry about the posters we are talking about I know later that it was my fault to get angry.
spammers come spammers go.
But: I'd agree to some kind of a 'soft' penalty system; i.e. lock user 1 month after 3 warnings. Ok let them register again with new name - some 5 to 10 % will do and it's getting better.
Regards,
Clemens

  • Learning new Techniques: The best way to pick stuff up - ideas please!

    I am a keen illustrator user, and have been for years. It would be fair to say that I'm not n00b any more (although working with some of the people i do, they might say i am!)
    In my experience, my personal artwork and enthusiasm levels setup when I have learnt a new technique (do you know what I mean? trying out your new skill can lead to you creating some amazing art)
    I just wanted to hear about the experiences of other people when learning... do you prefer video tutorials? (and is free or purchased best?) Magazines, d you read the actual manual?? (I have to confess I never have read the Illustrator Manual!)or just pure experimentation....

    I learned a ton just by lurking here. There are some smart people posting on this forum.
    Also, all the sample brushes and patterns and symbols, etc... that come with Illy are meant to show you what it can do. Pick them apart and in doing so, learn how the appearance pallet (panel?) works, as well as many of the effects...

  • New technique to place multiple anchored objects in InDesign story

    Hello,
    For a while I have been trying to figure out how to insert multiple anchored objects into an Indesign story. As far as I can tell, you cannot copy multiple objects that have already been placed in a document (such as a multi-page pdf) into an InDesign story, but must copy and paste them one-by-one into the story. This is a problem for a project I am working on where I want to have a large number of 340x52 pt pdfs to flow throughout a document in a master text frame interspersed with text.
    I have now found a solution for this issue that I thought I would share in case it would be helpful for anyone. It utilizes Automator actions for Mac OS X and Microsoft Word 2011 [2008 may work also, but I don't have a copy of that to test]; I am not good with scripting but perhaps similar solutions could be found for other systems and programs.
    1. If you want to place a multipage pdf within a text frame, first it into individual files for each page (with Acrobat Pro or pdftk or something similiar).
    2. Create an Automator service or program with the action "Create New Word Document". You can also use another automator action to save the document, or save it manually (to change the filename). In the finder, select the items you want, then run the service or drag them into the Automator program you have created.
    3. Place the word document into your InDesign story. Your items will now be anchored objects ordered in your text frame as they were in the finder.
    Please let me know if this is helpful or if anyone has suggestions for doing this process is a more efficient way. I am not sure, but it may be the case that this approach would only work on Macs, as I gather from this thread.

    I might note that I am using InDesign CS 5, and importing from a document stored in docx format.

  • Are there discounts for our students? We are launching a new kids program teaching video production. We currently have Adobe premier elements.

    These kids will be the tech crew for our popular Rock School program now in its 12th year. The crew kids will learn to run sound, live recording, lighting, stage set up, video production, culminating in the big concert every 3 months where they will run the show. They will shoot the video, record the sound, and after, edit the video with the audio track recorded and mixed from 24 track recorder. We are a bit new to video and need help with the best way to go about this......software.....curriculum. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    Besides your contact with Adobe Customer Service as SG is suggesting, have you check out Adobe Education
    Educational software, academic software | Adobe
    and the following Contact link within the above link might provide some telephone number for inquiry specific to your program choice.
    At first glance, the above looks like it targets the higher end products. But, there may be Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements opportunities in there also.

  • I want to buy an ipad to teach others how to use ipads.  I would like to also teach people how to use Mac Air.  would i be able to do cross train others based on the ipad ?

    As a trainer i would like to train others how to work with either of these tools - the ipad or the Mac Air.
    Starting out in the world of Mac as i embark on this journey i want to ensure the path i choose will work.
    in other words, based on the experience i gain with the Ipad, can i transfer this knowledge to helping others manage a Mac Air - essentially the operating system, managing files, the desktop, multitasking with apps
    i do not want to buy both the ipad and the Mac Air.
    thank you for any advice

    The iPad and Mac computers use different operating systems : iOS for iPads (and iPhones and iPod Touches) and OS X for Mac computers. They operate in different ways - Macs have a desktop and a file system, iPads (with the sandboxed iOS) have apps with content stored within the apps (and no file system).

    No they won't.
    However if you use the same ID and change the password, they won't be able to see them either.

  • If i buy new ram, will the people at the mac store install it for me?

    if i buy a mac mini at the mac store and buy some RAM later, will they install it for me?

    Hello,
    if i buy a mac mini at the mac store and buy some RAM
    later, will they install it for me?
    I have had my local Apple dealer (authorized service provider) install memory for me that I supplied. They didn't even charge me (I had them do it while it was in for a different repair).
    The difference is this:
    An Apple Authorized Service Provider makes their money from performing services that you pay them for, and also from Apple re-imbursing them for warranty repair work. They will do just about anything if you pay them to do it.
    An Apple-owned store is going to only install items and upgrades that your purchased directly from them (or directly from Apple - which is the same thing). So, they will not install parts that you supply them with.
    The independent service provider (the previously mentioned Apple Authorized Service Provider) doesn't care where you buy the part. Naturally, they prefer you buy it from them. But, they'll happily charge you to perform service work. And, they'll install parts you supply them with. Naturally, it is understood that they will only warrant their work, and not the part that you supplied.
    I hope this helps.

    Hi  SDGNOM,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to export  list to Excel with all columns in your SharePoint.
    For the SharePoint RPC protocol method, SharePoint export to excel will take the list id as well as the view id. So we cannot export list to Excel with all the columns without having to depend on the fields
    chosen in the default view.
    Reference:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms478653.aspx
    For a workaround, you can achieve your demand via PowerShell. Here is a  template you can refer to:
    Param(
    [Parameter(Mandatory=$True)]
    [string]$webUrl,
    [Parameter(Mandatory=$True)]
    [string]$outPath
    $web = Get-SPWeb $webUrl
    write-host ("Path: " + $outPath)
    foreach($list in $web.Lists)
    $exportlist = $null
    $exportlist = @()
    $list.Items | foreach {
    $hash = $null
    $hash = @{}
    foreach($fld in $_.Fields ){
    Try {
    $hash.add($fld.Title, $_[$fld.Title])
    Catch [System.Management.Automation.MethodInvocationException]
    # Eating an error caused by duplicate column names.
    Finally
    #"End"
    write-host ("Exported: " + $_.Title)
    $obj = New-Object PSObject -Property $hash #@{
    $exportlist += $obj
    $expath = $outPath + '\' + $list.Title + '.csv'
    $exportlist | Export-Csv -path $expath #$oPath

  • How to Reconcile Photoshop Elements 12 Organizer's New People with Previous Versions.

    On updating earlier version catalog (Photoshop Elements 10) to Version 12, the older version's "People" tags were not converted to new People (Faces) tags. Images with People tags but not tagged faces were also not converted. Now I have a mess of Family Tags and Group Tages representing people. Nearly all of the new (ver. 12) People groups, when clicked, respond that no media exist. Hours on telephone with Adobe Technicians has been useless. They cannot seem to relate to problem. It must not be in the manual from which they are reciting. At this point, number of crashes and quirks in Photoshop Elements 12 are making me rethink whether I want to stay with Adobe Products at all.

    You simply need to create your stills with Photoshop Elements, save them in a suitable format (.jpg, .png, .tiff are all acceptable) then drag and drop them into your iMovie timeline.  You don't have to use iPhoto.

  • New People Report

    So we're looking in to running some new SQL reports against people and want to ideally break this down by department (so we can send department managers their staff's ticket stats).We changed email addresses over a year ago and this then created duplicate people. The 'old' email address people have their old tickets associated to them and all of their correct AD information whereas the new email address people have their new tickets but is missing some AD information (like department).Example: [email protected] has 122 tickets and their correct AD stuff but [email protected] has 98 tickets but no department information etc. and Spiceworks doesn't see this as the same person.
    As a test, from the database, we've attempted setting any tickets from [email protected] to move to [email protected] which appeared to work. Then I...

  • Suggestion for a new OCA / OCE exam

    I have noticed that there are a lot of candidates who learn for an exam. There seems to be a lot of incentive to studying for the exam and "learning" the material.
    However, there are also a lot of candidates who do not understand the 'certification', 'learning', 'followup' processes. It also seems that if there is no reward, such as a certificate, skills and processes are overlooked or misunderstood.
    I suggest an OCA (or perhaps an OCE) level exam that tests the candidate for "How to find information on Education.oracle.com, Certification.oracle.com, Certview.oracle.com, Tahiti.oracle.com, OTN.oracle.com"; "What happens after you write the exam and how long do I have to wait"; "Why I should have only one testing ID"; "What is a FAQ"; "Ability to use internet search engines and how to formulate questions"; "Why do forum administrators bother with Forum Stickies", and the like.
    While somewhat tongue-in-cheek (or at least cheeky), I encourage thinking about this. We are churning out people who supposedly are professionals, and yet some have no idea what that 'professional' icon means or where to find out more information about it.

    Well not an OCA or an OCE certificate but perhaps an OCS, and that could be useful for partners as well. The problem is if offered online it would be abused.
    I get concerned when a candidate newly registered for OTN has just passed the high stakes exam for an OCA wonders where their certificate is. It is a concern they don't seem to have researched the certification process much. The lack of familiarity with the certification process seems slightly concerning ... and there is probably a lack of familiarity with the Oracle websites as well, which is not what one would expect from a certified person.
    The new OTN registration isn't a definite indicator of a problem here, but it is a strong indicator there may be something unsatisfactory.
    Indeed the absolute worse case is an SQL exam online by proxy taker followed by braindump use or a proxy take of the high stakes exams.
    In practice I would suspect that an unbalanced delivery of the WDP training or third party training or university training may be a culprit. (and I may be wrong here). (Note there seems to be an increasing tendency for some universities to focus on education by certification study ... ).
    I really think it would be useful if a candidate was required to register with Oracle (by means of an SSO/OTN account) before being able to book a certification examination rather than being simply able to goto Pearson VUE/Prometric (This is the case with a lot of other Testing programmes, and was the case with Sun until recently). IMHO This would encourage a good 'first contact' with Oracle and would encourage the following benefits:
    - A relationship with Oracle would be established sooner during the exam preparation process.
    - There would be an opportunity to point the candidate at useful processes, authorized learning methods and resources via email.
    - An earlier point in the learning process to discourage bad learning technique
    - The sales people would love the opportunity to sell oracle training.
    I think there is an argument for requiring OTN registration at least a month before a certification exam can be booked ... exceptions being if an Oracle University Course has been attended. However the logistics would probably fail on this and it could hurt people who have just left an employment.
    Edited by: bigdelboy on 07-Apr-2010 00:57 PS: - Hans - You also didnt great job with one of the sticky announcements. I really think however now that Prometric / Pearson Transition has happened and merge with Sun is stable all the sticky posts should be reviewed and rolled into one entitled something eyecatching like only silly people should not read this FAQ first

  • New Update broke Itunes

    The MSI file was corrupted somehow, and now I can't install a new Itunes version or uninstall the old one. I don't know where to go from here.

    I'm really starting to think the apple updater software has a bug or something. Far too many itunes.msi problems every day.
    Yeah, there's a bunch of them. But i'm still not convinced it's anything new.
    We used to get the "feature is on a network resource that is unavailable" flavor of this in the 6.0.x days (it came with a 1316 error message number on the InstallShield-based installers). A number of them also correspond to the [application name].msi/1714/1603 error message combo from those days.
    Those were among the commonest problem reports i treated then, too.
    On the other hand, i don't like the sheer number of the things we're getting. I've tried making submissions/feedback on the main troubleshooting document:
    Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime software in Windows
    ... along the lines of "what precisely to do" when you get one of the missing .msi messages. But no joy on that front.
    ... So you and I end up having to (very regularly) teach people instead how and when to use Installer CleanUp against a missing .msi when people post here ...
