Lack of clarity in community guidelines

As I was going through the language learning section, I noticed that a moderator had edited out the skype name in someone's post, but not the blaringly obvious gender specific contact and the request for a relationship.  I then went and checked the community guidelines, but they are unclear on this subject.  Is it no longer against the rules to post these things?  Thanks.

Hi welshydragon,
The Openreach Superfast Fibre Broadband rollout is still in it's early stages and the plans are always being added too. 
So your exchange may be added to the rollout plans later in the future. 
The build of the fibre broadband infrastructure isn't always easy and can be very complex, so needs a lot of planning to start with and can take some time. Go to http://superfast-openreach.co.uk/the-big-build/ for information on the build.
You can register your interest for Fibre Broadband such as BT Infinity by going to http://www.superfast-openreach.co.uk/expression-ge​n.aspx
Unfortunately BT Retail (a communication provider/ISP who operates this forum) does not have much say as to when and if you will be able to get FTTC or FTTP/H based broadband such as BT Infinity.
I also take it from your username that you live in Wales. If this is correct then see below.
If you live in Wales, then the Welsh Government has recently started to plan the development of Superfast Fibre broadband in Wales.
You may want to have a look at The Welsh Government Next Generation Broadband Wales Scheme-(Click Here To View) and Here
Also the http://superfast-cymru.com website has only just become online and will give information about the Openreach Superfast Fibre broadband rollout in Wales.
**The Fibre-Optic Broadband Rollout is being managed and done by Openreach for all communication providers/ISPs.
BT Retail (a communication provider/ISP) has nothing to do with the rollout of fibre broadband.**
Hope that helps,
Cheers

  • Guidance on reporting community guideline violatio...

    As a frequent visitor to the Language Learning Section of the community, I note that a substantial number of the postings violate one of more of the Skype Community Guidel;ines: posting Skype I.D.s, friend's requests, thinly disguised ads for paid lessons, specific ethnic requests, age postings and so on.
    For reference, I have quoted section 9 of the  Guidelines below:
    9. We need your help
    If you notice users breaching guidelines, give them guidance. If you see specific cases of abuse, rudeness or other violations of these guidelines, feel free to bring it to the attention of a moderator through “Report Inappropriate Content“. You can find that option in the “Options” dropdown menu next to any message.
    I take the reference to "guidance" to mean that you are inviting community members to (politely)  point out to transgressors the error of their ways--on the assumption that they are not already aware of it.  Please clarify.

    Yes. Please use the "Report inappropriate" functionality to flag any messages for review through the moderation team that you think are in violation of the Community Guidelines. Thanks in advance for your help.

  • ACSv5.1, lack of clarity on radius accounting logs

    Hi,
    We are using an ACS 5.1 for remote VPN customers for radius authentication and accounting purposes.
    When I check the radius accounting logs, there are certain entries that do not make sense to me.
    For instance, there are certain Accounting session ids (refer 'Acct_Session_Id') with only a STOP record. But I do not see a START record corresponding to the session id. I am able to see many such entries.
    Can anybody throw some light on this information??
    Note - The customer environment consists of remote users who try to access the central NAS using IPSec. Requests that come to the NAS get directed to the ACS for AAA purposes.
    Also provided are some sample ACS logs [refer highlighted section]
    Regards,

  • Lack of Clarity, Low Bass on Headphones S55-B5280

    I was using some Sony Pro headphones that I purchased for audio production on my new Toshiba laptop and noticed a dramatic difference in the clarity today. I ended up doing a complete recovery image and put it back to factory defaults because was working yesterday. This did not fix the problem. I don't know if it's a driver issue with the manufacturer or what. I did notice that when going into the enhancements section for the Conexant HD drivers that if I choose Loudness Equalization it would let me choose it and Enable it. However, if I go to DTS and try to make the sound better by changing any functions for the headphones, that part is checked but shows Disabled in the status below. No matter if I check it or not, it will not Enable that function. I can't get it to sound like it did yesterday so I am totally baffled. I just got this laptop on 4/12/15. Any ideas??

    I do not think you will see more details or different attitude from Verizon. You will see amount of data used in a time period, but no breakdown to what sites or what connected device. Verizon, as with the rest, basically says you used it, you pay for it - doesn't matter how you used it.
    What type of devices do you have connected. Do you turn off and disconnect devices when not in use? 20 GB is very little for home Internet in my experience. We go through about 20 GB every day on home Internet. 20 GB;month is only 682 MB a day which can be done in 20 to 30 minutes easily.
    Too bad you didn't get in on the double data promotions when they were available. 30 GB was for $130, and all the upper GB levels were doubled. Hopefully they will have that again.

  • Mover's Coupon Terms - Severe Lack of Clarity

    As indicated in the thread title, Best Buy's terms / conditions / and exclusions for the mover's coupon is stupefyingly vague.  Best Buy does not post on it web pages just which items are Unilateral Minimum Resale Price (UMRP) and the exlcuions list only indicates "Some" Samsung and Sony TVs... well which ones?!
    I will be buying at least two TV's from the following list: 1) UN65HU9000; 2) UN55HU9000; 3) UN65HU8700; UN65HU8550; 4) a Sony 900B; 5) a PN60F8500; and/or 6) a PN64F8500.  One for bedroom and for the family room.
    Calling a nearby big box store resulted in no useful info.  I called the national number and after being transferred to three different phone reps (two in geek squad for some unknown reason) nobody could actually give me any infoirmation.  This is the sort of aggravation that initially led me away from Best Buy when back in 2010 the local Best Buy for my old address were rather rude in refusing to price match some video cards (where I swore off shopping for myself from Best Buy) and in 2011 Black Friday when the customer service department tried to pass off as new some clearly open-box, refurb Klipsch speakers that a friend asked me to buy.  That swore me off Best Buy entirely until now.
    After three years I thought I'd give Best Buy another chance, but this has been surprisingly more opaque than the back and forth in getting the mortgage for the home I just moved to.
    So, are any of those TV's on the coupon list, and if prices drop post-Thanksgiving would I be out luck from Best Buy's price matching?  
    I intend on buying at least two of these mid-upper tier TVs in the immediate future, it's just a question of where.

    Hi Aggroed_Buyer,
    The terms of these coupons shouldn’t be vague at all, and I really am sorry if we were not able to get the answers you deserve in a timely manner. I just read through the terms of this coupon and it seems pretty straight-forward to me what is accepted and what is not.
    It is correct that we don’t list ever specific model TV that is accepted or not as that would be a very long list given the sheer number of TVs we carry. Any store could have told you if a specific model is accepted or not. I look at all the models you listed and the only model that this coupon could be used on is model UN65HU8700.
    I hope this helps,

  • Lack of data detail

    I am frustrated by Sprint's approach to (a) charging fees for exceeding data caps while (b) not delivering more detail on the data being tracked (and charged for). We are using a MiFi hotspot for our rural home internet, and we continually run up against our monthly cap of 20GB.
    We use multiple devices (desktop computers and tablets) but never stream movies and rarely stream videos or music. Our only usage is typical low-volume internet and online gaming (Minecraft) that is restricted typically to less than two hours a day. And yet we still break 20GB nearly every month, many times due to large chunks of unexplained data that could be auto updates downloading, though we don't know because of the lack of clarity on what device is using bandwidth in what manner. We have, by the way, turned off every single auto update function we can find, and we still get hit.
    Our wifi network is password protected, so we are reasonably sure no one else is using our data. But again, we can't be sure because there's no detail in the data reporting.
    What is Verizon's plan to help users who are otherwise very satisfied with their service to have better visibility as to what they are being charged for? Right now, there is little or no accountability on Sprint in regards to data reporting, at least not that I can tell. We're simply told "you used this much" and "you're over so pay more."
    This has become frustrating enough that we are considering dropping Sprint for alternative services.

    I do not think you will see more details or different attitude from Verizon. You will see amount of data used in a time period, but no breakdown to what sites or what connected device. Verizon, as with the rest, basically says you used it, you pay for it - doesn't matter how you used it.
    What type of devices do you have connected. Do you turn off and disconnect devices when not in use? 20 GB is very little for home Internet in my experience. We go through about 20 GB every day on home Internet. 20 GB;month is only 682 MB a day which can be done in 20 to 30 minutes easily.
    Too bad you didn't get in on the double data promotions when they were available. 30 GB was for $130, and all the upper GB levels were doubled. Hopefully they will have that again.

  • Who runs this community?

    I post a questions, the first reply start off with "You are wasting your time" and clearly does NOT answer my questions. I reply to that saying I have higher expectations for Apple than other cheaper products.
    My post gets deleted for not meeting community guidelines, and the above post which INSULTED my initial question, is marked as 'Answered my question'
    So my question for this post is - who runs this? Apple or some volunteers? Marking a post as 'Solved Problem' on my behalf that tells me "You are wasting your time" is not usefull!
    At this point I'd like to delete the original posit since clearly "I'm wasting my time" on here.
    Sheesh!
    Mac owner from MacPlus to MBP Retina since 1988

    "You are wasting your time" and clearly does NOT answer my questions.
    Actually, it does answer your question. Maybe not all that politely, but it is correct. Like virtually any other such device (iPad, Blackberry, Samsung), Apple does not make their own batteries. They get them from the same very few suppliers as everyone else. And like all such "performance" claims by manufacturers, they are based on absolute best circumstances and use. Typical use will not yield those results.
    who runs this? Apple or some volunteers?
    Apple owns and operates these boards. Other users handle almost 100% of the questions. Rarely will you see an Apple employee posting an answer. Of those, it is almost always one of the hosts explaining something related to the use of these boards, not an answer to a technical question.
    Marking a post as 'Solved Problem' on my behalf that tells me "You are wasting your time" is not useful!
    Well, only you can do that. No one else, not even the hosts can in any way mark a post Solved or Helpful. Only the person who started a topic can. So in the case of the only other topic under your name, you awarded the Solved and Helpful points. Therefore, your claim of someone else doing so "on your behalf" isn't possible.

  • Introducing the Skype Community

    Welcome to the Skype Community
    After being in the air since early 2004 as Skype's Forum, since April 2008 as Skype's Community and now as the Skype Community it is about time to introduce the people with badges and those without who you see posting regularly. But first a little explanation of what this community does.
    The Skype Community is a place where Skype users can go for their Skype related question which they can discuss with other users. It can be any question from “How do I answer a Skype Call” to more technical ones. The purpose of this is to unite users in their Skype interests, to give users a chance to help others where they have a bigger knowledge and / or experience with Skype.
    Every day thousands of users sign on to Skype for the very first time. Although there is a comprehensive, ever growing Knowledgebase there will be questions left which can be discussed in the Skype Community with users who have a huge experience in using Skype as their communication tool.
    The variety of users browsing and replying to topics is enormous. From private users who only use Skype to keep in touch with friends and loved ones to Business users and beta testers. Especially beta testers are valuable. They seem to be born (or programmed over time ) to find and report bugs to help them getting resolved.
    Other experienced users are those with a Community Amassador and Moderator badges and then the Skype Staff with the Skype logo next to their name. Next to the Skype related areas we also have a more casual and relaxed area called “Skype Lounge” where you are invited to talk about every day’s life, hobbies and interests and where you can chat with likeminded users who might even become good friends!
    So, who is who in this Skype Community?
    I start with the valuable user. Every user logged on for the very first time and most likely to find help. No doubt the user came to the right place because help is available here in large quantities. Because the Moderators monitor all topics, active users become visible and not seldom we agree that by the consistent help given, such a user deserves the Community Ambassador badge. This is a little award for life and will always express our appreciation. Our Community Ambassadors are involved in a Skype group chat with Moderators for questions, discussions and help. They are not left on their own but have our and each other's full support. 
    Sometimes Community Ambassadors are asked to join the Moderator team. Moderators receive the tools to moderate (work with) the community. This means they can edit, move and if necessary, delete posts (like spam). They guide users, advise them to submit a Support Ticket when necessary and help them to maintain the Community Guidelines. They also reply to posts.
    Because the Skype Community is not an official support channel like Skype Customer Service Ticket System (who would like to see their account / payment details exposed on a public forum? The ticket system guarantees total privacy) Moderators can help the users who, for what ever reason, did not receive the right help via tickets. The preferable help tool is public posts so others with similar issues can find a solution. More private information is exchanged via PM (Private Message).
    Moderators signed an NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement) with Skype and have access to Skype staff to report and discuss specific problems. This way you are in safe hands.
    Both Community Ambassadors and Moderators are although experienced Skype users, people like you and me. Some have full time jobs, others part time or are retired. All have in common that they like to use Skype, like to help out and are volunteers. They are present in the Skype Community in their spare time. Therefore some can spend more time helping out than others. They are located in different parts of the world, speak different languages. This way they cover 24 hours. Moderators participate in a group chat with the Admins to discuss what is going on in the community, support each other and get help when necessary. 
    Our admins are staff members. They handle the more advanced community tools. Together they are responsible for the whole community. The main community administration is done by yours truly as Community Manager. One of my pleasant tasks is to weekly report to my colleagues to keep them updated about what is going on in the Skype Community: what keeps users busy, their feature requests, problems and positive feedback for all platforms, subscriptions, payments and about all soft- and hardware.
     We do not just operate in the background. We participate actively by reading and posting. We feel a huge responsibility for users, Community Ambassadors and Moderators for whom we also feel a great respect and pride.
    Non Admin Staff members work behind the scenes and in any department within Skype. Their main goal is to improve Skype for the users. Not to maintain or develop the Skype Community. They are real and very nice people who do not hesitate to post in the Skype Community where a reply from staff is appreciated. 
    Not seldom community members grow from User, to Community Ambassadors, to Moderator/Beta Tester to Staff Member. (Maybe here is a little career for you )
    I hope that above helps you to understand the Skype Community and to value the special and dedicated help of the volunteers. They deserve a thumbs up

  • Unofficial Forum Rules and Guidelines

    I realize there is an official Community Guidelines thread, but I feel it should cover more topics than it does.  So here is my attempt to have a thread I can point new users to, if they are unsure how forum etiquette works.
    Before Posting a Question
    Many posts have been made on the forums over the years and many topics have been covered.  You are likely not the first person to attempt something, or having difficulty.  Search the forums first for the question you would like to ask.  NI's forum search works well but feel free to use Google to search the forums.  Try searching with alternate terms, like "System Tray" instead of "Icon Tray".
    Posting a Question
    When posting a question you should first follow the guidelines linked earlier.  In addition to those points I'd like to mention a few more:
    Not everyone on the forums speaks English.  If English is not your native language feel free to post questions in your first language, but be aware that there are several non-English speaking sub-forums.  If you post a non-English question in the English forum, you may or may not get people who speak your language.  Stick to forum for that language to ensure you get the help you need.
    Post in the right sub-forum.  Language is the first sub-forum to consider, but topic is another.  If you are asking a question about LabVIEW exams, it is better to post in the Certification board, rather than the LabVIEW board.  If you posted in the wrong forum ask a moderator to move it to the appropriate section.
    Have a useful title.  The title of your question should never be "labview" for "fpga".  Your title should also not be a paragraph.  It should be a quick summary of the topics your post is going to discuss.
    Do not use caps lock unless you are really yelling.  It would be rude for me to ask a question by yelling and the same goes for the forums.  This goes for the title and the post.
    Do not beg for help using words like URGENT, or LIFE AND DEATH.  This is again rude, we are largely volunteers that like to help, but not when we are being yelled at.
    Use words not letters "NEED hlp Plz R U labview xpert?"  Use full English sentences.  If you have trouble with this please refer back to speaking in your native language, or go back and take English class.
    There is rarely a need to change the font size, color or style from the default settings.  You are wasting your time, and likely making your post harder to read.  Stick with the default font styles.
    Try giving as much information about the conditions of your question.  Things like: What version of LabVIEW are you using? What operating system are you using?  What hardware are you using? and What sensors are you using? are a few common ones.
    If you want to ask the same question on another LabVIEW board like LAVA, feel free to do so.  One thing that helps collaborate efforts is to provide a link in your post back to the other place where the question was asked.  This way someone on the NI forums can see what has already been said on another forum.
    When posting code post the actual code not a screenshot.  You wouldn't take a screenshot of a text file and post it on a text language forum.  Upload the actual VI, or zip several files and upload the zip.  The exception to this rule is when uploading a VI Snippet.  This is an image with the VI embedded in it, so the source is still intact.
    When you don't get the help you want
    If you posted a question and didn't get any response, or didn't understand the responses you got, do not make a new thread on the same topic.  Doing this will fragment the conversation and you will have two groups of people working on the same problem.
    Don't simply BUMP a thread with a new post without more information.  This is a sign that you don't want to put in any effort and are simply nagging others to help you.  If a thread goes dry and you want more help, try getting more information on the subject, or try something and reply to the thread with this new information.  This shows you are willing to work towards your goal, and aren't just looking for others to do your work for you.
    When you get the help you want
    Volunteers put in effort to help you and they want to know they are appreciated.  The forums have several ways to say "Thank You" to those that have helped.  Here are the preferred methods.
    Kudos
    You can thanks a person on the forum by giving them a Kudo.  A user on the forums can Kudo a post by another user once, but multiple users can Kudo the same post which can highlight posts that a collection of users find useful.
    Here is a thread discussion when users choose to give Kudos.
    Marking Solutions
    Any reply to a post can be marked as a solution to the post, if the sub-forum supports marking solutions.  This is helpful because the thread will get a green check mark showing a solution to the question has been found.  Threads can have multiple posts marked as a solution, but it is best to limit the number of posts that are the solution.  Mark the posts that answer the question, not just helpful posts.  A helpful post can be Kudo'd, but doesn't need to be marked as a solution.
    Things Not To Do
    Do not send private messages to a user asking a question.  Forums exist so we can work to solve a problem as a group.  Contacting someone privately causes that to not work.
    Do not post personal information.  This includes Email, or phone contact information.  Spam bots crawl forums like this looking for your information.  This also means don't make your user name an email address.
    Do not have huge signatures.  They waste space on the forum and can clutter the conversation.  Signatures are okay, but large ones are discouraged.
    Do not post homework assignments.  We are not going to do your homework for you.  You are welcome to ask specific questions about things you don't understand.  But don't post your homework and expect someone to do it for you.  You won't learn this way. 
    Do not resurrect old threads that have nothing to do with the new question.  A post from 2002 about how to setup a DAQ task will likely not be related to your question about reading a serial port.  Make a new thread asking your new question.

    Many times new users of NI hardware or software just don't know where to start.  They will ask a question but without knowing the terms, or the intended purpose, they will not be able to form a proper question.  Here are some free training tools primarily focused on LabVIEW and NI hardware.

    Unofficial Forum Rules and Guidelines - Hooovahh - LabVIEW Overlord
    If 10 out of 10 experts in any field say something is bad, you should probably take their opinion seriously.

    When attaching code:
    Include all subVIs, typedefs, and global variables, etc.
    Remove all passwords from password protected VIs.
    Do NOT include anything from vi.lib or that is part of a standard LabVIEW installation.
    Do NOT include libraries from commercial third party drivers unless you suspect them to be the cause of the problem.
    If it is an entire project, zip everything up. (A "*.lvproj" file does NOT contain anything useful. All code referenced in the project needs to be included).
    If you attach more than one VI, tell us the name of the toplevel VI.
    Set all controls to typical values, then make them default before saving. Do not set indicators to new default values, especially e.g. graphs containing huge amounst of data.
    Ideally, all we should need to do is open and run the VI to see the problem.
    The default data should be typical and not biased in any way. If an input is a matrix, don't make it square or symmetric unless that is guranteed to always be the case.
    Tell us how to demonstrate the bug (e.g. Run A, set control B to X, Indicator C is now Y while I expect it to be be Z instead, etc.). Include these instruction as diagram comment on the toplevel VI.
    If the problems is with reading a file, include a sample file that demonstrates the problem.
    If you run the newest LabVIEW version, you might want to downconvert to a lower version before attaching (file...save for previous...). This way there are more people that can potentially help. (Of course if the suspected bug depends on the version, you should attach the version that demonstrates the bug.)
    If you make claims about speed or benchmarking:
    Tell us what you consider fast or slow. "Seconds" could be fast for one problem while "microseconds" could be considered slow for another.
    Include your benchmarking code.
    Make sure the speed test is sound and not polluted by debugging settings. Keep the front panels of subVIs closed, watch for code running in parallel, and avoid front panel updates.
    Make a distinction between slow code and slugginsh FP responsiveness.

  • Re lack of vibrancy ?/punch in photos

    Hi all I have asked this question a while back but got no replies so am hoping for better luck this time .My printed photoslack vibrancy it is as if their is a VERY THIN veil in front of them I do stress this is slight but it seems to stop the photos having any punch/ vibrancy . My set up is as folowsCannon MX925.useing adobe elements 13  software.Windows 7 home premiumI am useing a refillable ink system supplied by "City ink express" and their foto-rite inks .Paper is & day shop .com glossy paper. I have had a ICC profile done useing the above inks and paper . Things I have already triedall sorts of different settings in photoshop elements 13 and also elements 6Differnt papers ie Epson , HP, Tdk etc etcthe only slight improvement I can get is with the printer set to matt paper when actually useing Gloss. I have also tried downloading test photos which while reasonable they still have a slight veil / lack of clarity /punch What am I missing ?What more can I try ?HELP PLEASE.Mike

  • How to get help and help others on the Spotify Community!

    So I thought I would make this informal, light-hearted post about how to help other and get help on the community :)
    A Community is About Mutual Relations
    This means that people help you, so that you help them. You share your newly gained knowledge, so others can benefit. You get help, and then you help others by replying to their topics.
    It Always Pays to be Polite
    People will want to help you more if you are polite, with no swearing or hate speech. We all get annoyed from time to time, and some get annoyed more than others. We understand that the product you're paying for isn't working, but screaming, shouting and swearing about it won't help. Be polite, and help will come.
    Always Pack as Much Information in as Possible
    Often I am trying to help others, and there is just not enough info posted for me to help them well. This slows down the support they can get, which makes them further annoyed. To solve this issue post as much info as you possibly can:
    Any error messages
    A description of what is happening
    What have you tried to do to fix it
    What happened when you tried to fix it
    Oh, a screenshot always helps ;)
    Don't Post Personal Info
    Almost every day I have to report a post for containing an email address, telephone number and sometimes even the users home address. Apart from being against the community guidelines, this is rather stupid. These forums are public, and any person, bot, stalker or alien entity can see it. So just don't post them - it would save everyone's time ;)
    Payment Issue? Don't come to us ;)
    Payment issues cannot be dealt with on the community, unfortunately, as we don't have access to your Spotify account or details. You should use the Support Form to contact the customer services team, and they will get back to you (eventually).
    Post in the correct section!
    I am forever moving posts over to the correct sections. Please - post in the correct section to begin with. If you need help, post in the help forums, and post in the relevant help forum. You will get a quicker response if you post in the right section ;)
    Post in the Correct Thread
    Most common issues already have a thread, but people don't seem to be able to see them. If you have deleted a playlist post in the deleted playlist thread!
    Make Sure you Accept a Solution!
    I don't really like having to accept a solution for others, as I don't know for sure whether or not it was actually the solution, but the OP of the thread doesn't do it - so who is?
    Give Kudos!
    Kudos is like a pat on the back. Everyone gets a nice feeling when they gain a kudo. Please kudo regularly - they cost nothing and mean everything ;)
    I think that's it...
    If I have forgotten anything don't be afraid to send me a private message about it!

THANKS   CLUELESSJOE !!
    Hey! Welcome to the community :) 
    If you have 11,000 songs in a Spotify playlist (not as local files you own) you won't be able to mark them all to be available offline, since Spotify limits each device to 3,333 offline stored tracks due to licensing restrictions.

    Hi kstrid ,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community.
    Just to add to Hoov's explanation:
     Lenovo Community Forum is for members to post questions and receive help from volunteers and other Lenovo customers who may have had a similar question or may be able to answer your question.
     Lenovo Community Knowledgebase is a resource composed of articles written by Lenovo Staff, Moderators, Gurus, and other volunteers such as Microsoft MVP's.
    I hope we have helped you to understand the difference. The Community Guidelines are HERE. Feel free to let us know if you have any questions.
