Attention moderators - Duplicate posts and posts without searching

Hi there
Am I the only one who feels this forum has been watered down constant posting from users who couldn't be bothered to try using the search key.
Is it possible that we can start deleting these posts so users are forced to use their search key instead of forcing other users to do the work for them?
I've heard about this happening in other forums in an attempt to stop some of the bad practices that have crept in and I'm hoping the same can be achieved here.
Regards,
Athol

What works well in the forums I activately moderate is if community members use the Abuse Reports button (see the yellow triangle in the top right task bar of each post).
This helps moderators who check the log to home in quickly on threads which are violating the forum rules or not contributing to the quality of the SDN forum discussions.
The posts are then rejected, or the threads locked. In extreme cases, repeat offender's user ID's are deleted.
I can strongly recommend reading the forum rules (see the sticky thread at the top of the forum page).
Cheers,
Julius

    I hate sites like this. There's no way to get from one
    sublevel to another
    without going to the top level.
    I suggest you not use fly-out-type menus, but instead, have
    subordinate
    sectional navigation on each page within a given section. You
    can easily do
    this with a single template using Library items in an
    editable region for
    the sectional navigation, or better, using server-side
    includes.

  • Duplicate Posting - Asset Acquisition

    Hi Gurus
    We are on 4.7 in a Production Environment.
    In fiscal year 2007 we had acquired 150 assets. During that time, we had wrongly posted acquisition twice for all the 150 assets. We have already closed the fiscal years for 2007 & 2008. Our company then went through a corporate split & we were existing as a separate legal entity from fiscal year 2008 beginning. During the beginning of the year, we uploaded the assets using transaction AS91 & also uploaded the GL balances. Now, we have found out about the duplicate posting. Our management wants to reverse the duplicate entries as on 31st March 2008 without disturbing the balances of the previous years.
    Pls advise how to achieve this. Also, what accounting entries will be passed in this case.
    Regards

    Hi
    To Reverse the Duplicate Entries posted use the Transaction ABSO - Miscellaneous and give the transaction type 160 and give one adjustment account.
    Regards
    Venkat

  • Duplicate Posts

    Occasionally, we see forum users posting duplicate posts across various sub-categories within a category. While not always helpful, this occasionally helps garner inputs from users who would not frequent the original category where the user has already posted his query once. In this sense, I believe that this practice may not always deserve to be frowned upon as the intention may be to have inputs from other set of members.
    Having said that, may I suggest an enhancement to the forum (if the underlying technology permits) that would allow a user to swap the sub-category under which his query is posted ? This would allow a user to attempt "moving" his/her post between sub-categories preventing duplicate posts while at the same time providing an option to focus the query to different set of users ?
    Would like to have the views of peers and moderators here.
    Regards,
    Rakesh

    This becomes impractical quickly.
    What if you can't/don't want to get to the other forum? (Consider that there are sites that are shunned, to the point where people don't want links to raise their google standing. Others are obscure.)
    What if you are responding to something before they link to the other forum? The Ranch post was explicit about a delay.
    What if some forums don't allow editing?
    What about people who blast doc questions to every forum they can or can't spell?
    What if some fora have different etiquette? (I remember one day I posted in similar style different questions, one on usenet and one on C$erve. One group flamed me for too little info, the other for too long of a post. Similar things have happened between usenet, lists and fora. And top versus bottom posting...)
    Eventually someone says something like "well, use good judgment and post smart questions" which is useless on this topic. The root cause intra-site is arbitrary classifications, and cross-site the capriciousness of the rules.
    We shouldn't expect questioners to put in more time than volunteers, there is quite of bit of management implicit in cross-indexing crossposting. People will just get cross :P

  • How to avoid duplicate posting of noted items for advance payment requests?

    How to avoid duplicate posting of noted items for advace payments request?

    Puttasiddappa,
    In the PS module, we allow the deletion of a component pruchase requisition allthough a purchase order exists. The system will send message CN707 "<i>A purchase order already exists for purchase requisition &</i>" as an Iinformation message by design to allow flexible project management.
    If you, however, desire the message CN707 to be of type E you have to
    modify the standard coding. Doing so, using SE91, you can invoke the
    where-used-list of message 707 in message class CN, and to change the
      i707(cn)
    to
      e707(cn)
    where desired.
    Also, user exit CNEX0039 provides the possibility to reject the
    deletion of a component according to customers needs e. g. you may
    check here whether a purchase order exists and reject the deletion.
    Hope this helps!
    Best regards

  • Duplicate posting of Payment Draft

    Hi
    We are surprised Outgoing Payment Draft is not refreshed automatically or become Closed until we manually tick or untick Open to refresh. There is high risk of mistaking it as open and post again
    yet the system does not prohibit posting of this Draft that is supposed to be closed already.
    We also shocked to know that even Payment Draft of Closed status can be added and posted as new Payment.
    This is too risky of duplicate posting when there are several drafts saved for later posting but each one is not to be repeated in posting. 
    Can we request for this system bug or limitation to be fixed. Is this likely for this problem to be fixed in version 2007B with new patch?

  • Duplicate Post

    We create lessons in Captivate that include swf demos that
    someone else records. We import the swf files onto one slide. (In
    the future we're going to do this differently, but we already have
    these lessons buildt and need them out there, like today!). We had
    the problem that if someone advanced to the next slide, the audio
    from the imported animation continued to play, so we added a flash
    stop audio file on a very short slide that the stop demo went to.
    That worked for a long time. It still works for another worker
    doing exactly the same thing with the same stop audio file, but my
    lessons have started doing really weird things.
    First, the first audio slide in some of the lessons started
    stopping after just a few words. I fixed that by creating an
    opening slide with some audio that isn't important (a car reving
    its motor). But as I continued to make changes and publish, now the
    second slide in some lessons is cutting out after a few words also.
    And then, often the audio on the slide AFTER a demo won't play at
    all. And sometimes when I publish it's different than other times.
    And sometimes it works great, then I publish it to our LMS and it
    doesn't work out there. Any ideas?
    I'm going
    crazy!!!!!!

    TransactNo, but you can hit the "edit" button on the first message in the thread and change the subject to something like "Duplicate post, please igonre". These double and triple posts are not that uncommon around here and most people understand (and have done it themselves).

  • Reverse the document  (JV) which is posted without Profit Center.

    Dear All
    I am clearing the Customer with T-code F-32 and one of the clearing document is J/V which
    was saved without Profit Center and the same is creating the problem by showing the error :-
    Balancing field "Profit Center" in line item 004 not filled
         Message no. GLT2201
    JV Document  is specific to last year and is not allowing to reverse also in the last year  as it is asking
    for cost center/ profit center.
    Earliest Help required.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    VG

    Hi Viral
    Is the Profit Center Mandatory in document splitting for your implementation ?
    If yes,
    then check the link below
    http://sapfin.blogspot.com/2009/06/issuesolution-accounting-document.html
    If pofit center is mandatory and the original document was posted without a profit center,
    You would need to contact SAP to get the original document corrected,
    and follow the steps in the above link to prevent further occurrence  of such cases.
