I’ve been doing Internet forums of various types since the early 1990s..they are all prone to the same dynamics, both good n bad...the actors change but the story remains largely the same...
It’s upsetting / frustrating sometimes but people can help themselves...
A good example is the lack of location identifier and a nom de plume that tends to make people assume things...
Another is where people post short requests without any contextual info so people either assume it’s for someone else / they are a bit of a plonker / it’s TFD to respond..
Once people have posted a few times others get the measure and tend to be more helpful..
