I recently had to delete the account from someone who was upset by the response his thread received, or I should say, lack of response.
Instead of receiving help, his post was responded with sarcasm and memes.
In review of his thread, I could see why. The post lacked any detail whatsoever, and made it impossible to respond intelligently.
You see, if you want good answers to your problems, you need to ask good questions surrounded by good detail.
How do I scale my business? is not a good question by itself.
What business do I start? is not a good question by itself.
Better questions? Better answers.
Better details? Better answers.
Furthermore, on a scale of 1 to 10, if the effort you put into your thread/post is a 1 or 2, how on earth can you expect a 10 response?
Hopefully I can use this as a teaching moment. This was my response to the individual:

Sorry for the reception you received.
However, the response you received was due to the low-effort / low-value thread you posted - it had nothing to do with grammar or spelling errors. (Quite common in forum communications)
In your post, I didn’t read anything substantive. There is no information about your business or details about your challenges or problems.
Absolutely nothing.
These are things that would help people help you. Not even I could respond, especially with something helpful.
The response you received is because you expected people to be mind-readers, and in some aspects, people wonder if this is the effort you put into your post; why should they put an effort into a response? A response that will definitely miss the mark?
In effect, you went to a health forum and asked, “I think I have a disease; help me find the cure”
Oh really? What disease? What symptoms? When did it start? This? That?
Better questions get better answers. If you want people to be professionals, you have to start professional.
Oddly, your email below is well detailed — thank you — however, if your original post spoke to such detail, the outcome might have been different and to your liking.
Sorry, your post (or the forum) didn’t meet your expectations.
Your account has been deleted.
Good luck on your journey and much success to you,
MJ
