Dear Moderators

Dear Moderators,
Can we make a rule for General Posting..?
For example:
If, there are general queries like:
Posting only possible in periods 2009/01 and 2008/12 in company
or,
Account xxxxx requires an assignment to a CO object'
or
What is Third Party Sales Process
and many more...
for which 100s of threads, with Solutions, are already being available in [Search Forum|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/forumsearch]
and if, User puts the similar kind of Queries (repeatedly, again and again) and he does not provide his Research-work (before posting the threads); in such case -
USER must get Blocked, from the Forum.
This will reduce the No. of Unwanted queries, in to Forum. This will also ensure the Quality of the Forum. This will restrict the Ill-Practices, in to the Forum.
No matters, what Moderators and Other Members, are gonna think up on this suggestion; This was my responsibility to Provide something Constructive-Feedback, to the Forum, which has given me alot (in SAP Knowledge sense).
Best Regards,
Amit
Note: Make User more responsible, while putting the Queries/ issues, in terms of:
1. How much efforts, have been taken by themselves?
2. Query must be meaningful, in sense, what is the requirement and why it is reqd.

Dear Amit
All these years I have been requesting members to search the forum before posting silly / basic questions and only very few members have taken my request in right spirit and some have raised objection and at times, they have commented like anything which I dont want to express here.
I am really happy that all members have the same opinion and going in right direction which is defintely an encouraging sign to this forum.
All of you are aware Moderators are also doing their best by locking the threads then and there and giving a warning to the concerned but at the sametime, it is also very difficult to keep monitoring the forum regularly as they also have to work for their employers.
Dear Mr.Amit on your comments
USER must get Blocked, from the Forum
  I dont think practically this is possible. In fact  discussions are going on among Moderators and necessary steps are being taken then and there.  Also wherever any individual holds multiple user ids and rewarding themselves, they have blocked those user ids straightaway.
This is due to the fact that many new members without knowing the rules and regulations of the forum, are posting such questions and despite the fact that they have been requested, many continue to do so.  As I always telling the forum, unless the individual have self discipline and maintain decorum, it will be hectic task to Moderators to bring controls in the forum. 
This is not only in this forum but in all other forum also, these things are still continuing and there also, the respective members have warned.
Anyway, I will take up with other Moderators about this issue and update.  But for posting repeated questions, blocking the respective user id may not be possible.
thanks
G. Lakshmipathi

    Dear All
    For the past two hrs i have been silently watching this and this thread is totally violating the rules and regulations of this forum
    This confirms Mr.Amit's comments of few days back of ,locking a thread is totally based on mood of the moderators
    Forum post in ERP - Sales and Distribution (SD) General: inter company stock transfer
    inter company stock transfer
    If everybody wants to communicate thro E mail then while registering make the Mail as mandatory in business card
    Silently all elite members  are watching this happen

    Dear Raja and Lakshmipathi,
    Though, I am little in-active within Forum (as Contributor), still I am very much Active (as Well-Wisher).
    I have few suggestions, based up on my own observations, within this Forum:
    Other Members don't get know, whether a Thread has got abused by someone or not, as a result, Un-Knowingly, Other Members keep Replying to the thread.
    My Suggestions are:
    1. If, one abuses a thread, Others must get notified, either by some Light-signal or Text Message, against that thread.
    As a result, Other Members will not reply to this thread until, final call would have been taken by Moderators (Either, Moderator will Lock the Thread or will Open the Thread for Replying - either by Remove Light-Signal or Text Message)
    Important: One, who is abusing thread, must need to give Mandatory Reason for Abusing the thread.
    In a defined Period, if a Inquirer's threads get abused, for "n" no. of times, his/ her ID must get blocked for 7 Days (first time), 15 Days (second time), Permanently Deleted (Third time).
    This will also be applicable for the one, who abuses the thread. If, Moderators don't find suitable Reason for Abusing, the same 3-time rule (first time, second time, permanent deletion of id) will also be applicable for him/ her.
    Moreover, if, one has already abused the thread, and Final-Call on to the Abused-Thread, is still pending with Moderators and Other Contributors are continuing to reply Abused Thread, same 3-time rule will be applicable for them, also.
    2. Facility: Abuse a Thread, must be publisize within Forum as Locked Thread, like Rules of Engagement and Read before Posting. This will help all the Users, to know about the Facility.
    There are few more suggestions, But, if Moderators and Other Forum-Members, find it feasible (somewhat), we can go with above-suggestion, as a Pilot.
    Best Regards,
    Amit
    Note:
    Dear Mr. Ramanathan,
    Please don't mind, but it was a little un-fair on your part:
    Dear Moderators and Mr.Lakshmipathi
    As, Mr. Lakshmipathi is also a Moderator, it was enough with Subject: Dear Moderators.
    Whereas, Addressing Mr. Lakshmipathi, personally, was something like, out of all Moderators, we are making him Most-responsible, for all this mis-happenings.

  • FAO: Moderators...     iMac Flat Panel broken

    Dear Moderators, 
    The Forum (ID=870) "Expanding your iMac (Flat Panel)" is coming up with 'Error' in both Safari and Firefox right now (so I don't think it's me).
    This is also causing errors on the iMac Flat Panel Category page where no posts are being listed.

  • Question to Forum moderators

    Dear moderators,
    Is there any person at Creative (other than customer support) to whom I could discuss the Sound Font and Midi issues with the X-Fi card?
    I have emailed customer support on several occasions, and was even directed to Developer Support regarding my issues with the card but haven't gotten an answer.
    To be honest, I'm quite frustrated with the fact that the sound card isn't 100% compatible with Sound Fonts and MIDI the way previous models were.
    If I can't contact somebody myself, would it be possible for you do send along this information to the correct people at Creative?
    This problem has existed since the card came out and we're coming up on 2 years since I first contacted customer support and still no fix for these issues.
    These are the problems with SF and MIDI:
    1.- Effects on Sound Fonts are close to non-existent no matter if you max the levels on them.
    2.- The card no longer responds to envelope controllers.
    3.- Polyphony number is MUCH less than that on the Audigy series and previous models (MIDI files I made with the SoundBlaster32 and sounded great now have notes cut off).
    I'm sorry if this in any way inconveniences you but I've tried the contact information on the Creative site without success.
    Thank you in advance for any help.

    perihelion54, I hear you. I can't help you, other than to offer my support. I have questions about the technical spec of the soundfont engine as well, and it's difficult to know where to get answers.
    The only reason I have an X-Fi is for the 24-bit soundfont feature. I haven't gotten into the detail of programming the X-Fi yet, although I have created soundfonts for the Live! and Audigy range.
    There's a few new features in the latest (2.4?) version of Vienna, so that might be worth a try. I have been using AWave Studio 10, which SoniVox also seem to use by times.

    And after that i received a mail that the above reply was rejected.
    To my knowledge i find nothing offensive in my reply, so what could be the reason?
    Regards
    Karthik D
    P.S.: Even a Wrong answer is still there, how come only my reply is rejected

    Your Abuse Reports are definately appreciated. No doubt about that.
    In this case 3 posts came into the reports, one of them self-reported by you.
    They all tilted a bit too far into the grumpie (even horrify, or aggressive) zone, so were rejected. The system then automatically sends a nasty mail...
    Perhaps we should tone down the choice of wording a bit?
    Moving the What is BC - ABAP thread into the Coffee Corner didnt seem an option either because we have enough of those here by now as well ...
    We cannot move every interview question into the Coffee Corner. The thread is now locked.
    Hope that is okay for you now,

  • A suggestion to moderators

    Dear moderators in MM forum,
    May I made a suggestion? I have received some feedback from my colleagues who are trying their best to contribute in this forum. That some time, which is not so frequent, that their points will be unassigned.
    I've explained to them about the possible reason, and they can accept this.
    But since we can't track the reason when points are unassigned.
    Would you please try to send the author an email/message when you decided to unassign points?
    That will do great help to all users in this forum, and this will help to guide them the correct principle, so that they will not make the same mistake again.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Hongyan

    Thanks for the suggestion it's actually on our list and pretty high up there already we are hoping to see it go beyond development here soon.

  • Unproffessional Comments form moderators

    Dear Moderators,
    I am member since 2006 and I used to participate in SDN fourum activiely in 2006 and 2007. That this I was the top contributer in From Priting. That  time most of the members used to open threads and once get the answers they used to leave it as it is.
    I used to give a comments in all my threads that "Please Close this thread.. when your problem is solved andReward if Helpful"
    due to my busy work I did not participated in furums since 2 year and since few days I am posting answers. Now also I am using the same comments at the end of my answers.
    I observed that moderators are editing those messages or rejecting the postings. It seems the time has changed and all forum users are aware about how our forum is working..
    One of the moderator kishan P has edited my positng and updted unproffessional comments. like "Welcome to the 21st Century. Do not beg for points."
    I am surprised.... we all are working proffessionals and should have minimum knowldgede of respecting other proffessionals.
    If the moderator really wants to say that donot ask or inform about points I think he can remove the post or edit it.. but I think it is not a proper manner to give such a comments.
    Could you pelase give moderator status to the members who are good professionals or give some training how they have to respond to the new members... the comments should be encuraged enough to invite more professional but not to dissppoint them
    Thank you for understandig...
    /message/9732065#9732065 [original link is broken]

    Naresh and the Community,
    Firstly, my apologies for the unprofessional words used. As has already been stated, there are times when we Moderators snap. This usually happens when a full-time employee with work pressures have to spend part of his time in:
    - Moving 30-40 threads to the right subforum,
    - Lock, edit and warn 10-20 threads
    - Suggest 10-20 postors to use appropriate titles, informative questions, post questions in the right forum etc
    - Edit 5-10 ASAP and Argent requests for answers
    - Read through 10-20 Abuse Reports and act on them
    on a daily basis.
    Some people even after repeated requests and warnings just dont get it. In such cases, we propose their ID for deletion. And in between all these we get posts with a "request" for points - which as you must have found out is pretty obselete. This is where the usual snapping point comes. But yes, you are right we do need to maintain a professional approach.
    As I stated earlier, some users just do not get it after repeated requests. In such cases, we as a moderator resort to various tactics - humour being one of them. This was one such case that probably went horribly wrong for me. And I sincerely apologize. I will be more polite in the future. People who know me here, probably already know I've already sobered a lot after the Moderatoral responsibilty and trying harder at it.
    I would also like to thank you for pointing this out, as it will only make this community a better place for all of us.

  • Ipad warranty and aftercare

    Dear moderators- please note that this is a genuine question, it is not a non-constructive rant or complaint, it is not off topic.
    A 15 year old member of my party purchased an ipad2 in LA last month. She was told that as she lived in the UK she would need to purchase the Applecare premium. Later I returned to the store with her to question the necessity of the extra purchase. I was told that in the event of hardware failures she would be able to return the ipad to a UK Apple store for a free repair (within the initial 12 month period).  Armed with this knowledge she asked for (and received) a refund.
    Given that the initial advice was incorrect, I am not 100% confident that the latter is correct. Can anyone clarify the situation?
    Additionally after the 12month period does the Applecare only cover hardware failure? Surely the likelihood of hardware failures in this period is miniscule.
    Thanks in advance.
    BTW MODS if I have posted in the wrong place then please move rather than delete my post, tnx

    sorry guys...
    I guess I phrased the first part of my question badly.
    She was told that she HAD to take the AppleCare if she wanted any cover outside of the USA, ie she was led to believe that 12 month warranty was limited to the USA only, and that only by buying AppleCare she would end up with cover in the UK (with the added benefit of an extra 12 months plus phone support).
    Later when I pushed the salesman on the subject he then said that the standard 12 month warranty would be honoured in the UK.
    I assume that statement 1 is false, what about statement 2?

  • Separate ABAP sub-forum for ABAP HR developments?

    Dear Moderators
    Can we have a separate category under ABAP for ABAP-HR developments? 
    This would be helpful for many ABAP-HR issues to be addressed at the earliest and also search a solution in the relevent forums only.
    Please give it a thought.
    Regards,
    Rupesh Mhatre
    Edited by: Thomas Zloch on Mar 2, 2011 9:28 AM - subject enhanced

    Moved to suggestions & comments.
    This request has some history:
    Separate ABAP-HR Forum?
    Moderators cannot decide that, it's up to SCN administrators. I believe they want to see enough demand for a sub forum before creating it, and no good arguments against.
    Personally I'm undecided. We don't have sub-forums for all other SAP modules. I know HR/HCM is technically different in some ways, but don't know enough about it to really make a call.

  • How to trigger an existing thread to be placed in another forum?

    Dear Moderators, dear forum users,
    I just found two (old) threads that are unanswered and placed in a totally wrong forum:
              [Output tray in Format  SPAD transaction currently in SolManForum|/thread/901566 [original link is broken];
              [Printing to a Specific Output Bin currently in NWAdministrator Forum|Printing to a Specific Output Bin;     
              and even this one is a bit better, but does not fit to the ABAP-forum either:
              [Re: Select output tray in laser printer|Re: Select output tray in laser printer]
    Now i would like to trigger them to be placed to the correct or at least a better forum:
              [SAP NetWeaver Platform|SAP NetWeaver Technology Platform;
    Should I write a reply and asking the initiator to please place it into the right forum?
    It think, that this is to complicated, because I like to give a reply regarding the issue itself that maybe helps answering.
        ( I was looking for the answer myself, thatu2019s why I found the threads by using the search.)
    Waiting for the guy to place the/new thread in the right forum, would be not a good solution.
    I tried to find out in a WIKI or FAQ how to handle this, but didnu2019t find an answer.
    I got lost when looking for the Forum-FAQ to find an answer to my question:
    [https://forums.sdn.sap.com/index.jspa?categoryID=1|https://forums.sdn.sap.com/index.jspa?categoryID=1]
         "Please see our Wiki for FAQ & use the search before posting."
            But there seems to be no FAQ  ....  and nowhere else a linked FAQ that covers my questionu2026.
    My question is very basic and there is for sure somewhere a related answer, but it seems not be easy to find or at least not in the FAQ.
    Can you please give me a hint.
    Best regards
    Christian

    Yes, we had several discussions about these categories in the past, probably some defaults by the forum software vendor,  they don't reflect the reality in the forums.
    98% of the time "general abuse" is being chosen, occasionally "spam", luckily we had no cases of "racial" or "religious abuse" yet, as far as I remember. "failed to search properly" has been added as of late.
    Idea place is the right place for your suggestion.
    I also think that "report abuse" is a bit harsh in some cases, "inform moderator" or so would be better. You can add this as well, if you want.
