Sunday Surprise - One Week Offer: Reply here to become an MSDN/TechNet Forum Answerer

  • Статья

IMPORTANT UPDATE: This offer is now expired! You can leave requests in the Forum Issues forum (start a new thread) or wait until we have a new similar offer on this blog, in the future. Thanks!

 

 

I'm trying something new. For one week, you are invited to reply to this blog post to sign up to become a forum Answerer for any TechNet or MSDN forum. This excludes the Microsoft Community/Answers forums and the ASP.NET forums.

Here are the basic requirements:

  • You have to have been active in that forum for at least 6 months.
  • You have at least 100 Forum Answers.
  • You have at least 1,000 Recognition Points.
  • You'll need to agree to follow the moderation guidelines, paying close attention to how the largest value is to propose questions and then mark them 7 days later (after waiting for the OP to unpropose them or directly mark them).
  • No major complaints or reported issues about your behavior (as far as following the TechNet/MSDN terms of use).

And then just reply with...

  1. A link to the forum(s) you want to become an Answerer in!
  2. Whether you agree to the Forum Moderation Guidelines

Note that each forum has a different group of owners, so there's no guarantee the owners will want to add any more Answerers. But it usually works out well.

After one week, the offer expires! Let's try this and see what happens.

 

Thank you for all  your community contributions!

    That would be nice but I don't qualify for the numbers. Nice initiative, though.

    NOTE: I added the fact that if you've been breaking the terms of use, then obviously the request won't go through. Also added the fact that each forum is owned by a different group of folks, and so the requests simply might not go through for unknown reasons. But it usually does. Thanks!

    Hi Ed,I have little different request, I want to be moderator in Below forums. I am sorry but I do not mark answer, I will definitely propose it. I want to be moderator to keep threads clean and make sure they are on correct forum and other such things, which I won't be able to do if I am answerer. https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/home?forum=sqldisasterrecoveryhttps://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/home?forum=sqlexpressIts totally OK with me if you think otherwise.

      Done. Yes, please at least propose answers. Spam is very important too, but proposing and marking answers is what keeps forums from drying up where we still keep people motivated to answer questions.Thanks!

            No. I just usually favorite them so they show up on this page: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/user/forumsBut you can submit that as a feature request to "fissues".

            This is great question :-)Once you start manage lot of forums it become an issue.My solution is to keep a list of forums in simple word document.It can be very useful feature to see list of forums you moderate and serve as answerer, in the profile (for public as well as for our personal use). I love this idea :-)

            I can vouch for Thomas LeBlank. I know he is a great SQL Server expert and used to be an MVP. I think he just recently started to use the forums.

    I'd like to help but just want to ask first, is there a way we can get a list of forum that lacks answerer? I see that lots of major forums have a few answerers already.I think some of the forums (especially the localized ones) may be in short of people to help.

      Well, I see it as supply and demand. If there are a lot of forum posts that go by without an Answerer or Mod to check them and propose the right answer... then the current supply of Answerers hasn't met the demand (the need).There could be 300 Answerers, but it means they either aren't doing the tasks or there is a ton more traffic than the existing Answerers can handle.

      I totally agree!!! As much as I understand from other people and my experience lot of the Local forums need help* In the forums in Hebrew language, I feel like I am the only active moderator, and above all! no one from Microsoft comes to help. I don't think that I saw any of Microsoft representative in the forums for several years :-(. There is no one to close threads for example, since I cannot (ethic issue) mark my own response as answers.
