Feedback for Solar Panel Talk

[peakbagger]

I realize that this is packaged software that runs the forum, but it would be great if there was a screen that popped up when someone tries to do a new post that asks "have you used the search function yet to find what you are looking for" and maybe a description of how to use search.

After awhile it does get old seeing the exact same questions posted by new posters. Sure I can spend the time to do a search and then post a link to a prior thread but it does get old.

Solar Panel Talk is Awsome

It is clear thru your obsession to keep your site updated and the content on the site itself, that this is the best forum on solar in the world. I am looking forward to participating.

look at these two threads

You look at them, I have a day job. Answering the same questions, that are plainly covered previously, and then whining about the same "it won't work, study electronics if you want to know why" answer, what's a human moderator to do?

As to the 2nd thread, I'm just letting it run its course, as long as the servers have power

second one is nothing but a political diatribe that has nothing to do with solar.

Solar is 100% political. When you go pouring in billions of dollars of tax money into a program, it is purely political, especially into programs that do not work.

This reply is for Russ!

All education and knowledge comes from what people read, are taught, and their learning experiences, not "What they Think" as you put it.

Moderator note - Never have sold any solar equipment whatsoever. Alternative medicine? Social worker? You are gone -

This reply is for Russ!

All education and knowledge comes from what people read, are taught, and their learning experiences, not "What they Think" as you put it.

The information I wanted to share came from FACT. It is not what I came up with. Many people were concerned about whether or not there were any side effects for using solar panels. I certainly am far from hiding under a rock. I am well educated, with two university degrees, two years of college, five years education in Alternative Medicine, was a Social Worker for 25 years, qualified as a personal trainer, fitness instructor and Nutritionist, and feel justified in stating that any information that I have given is accurate. I am far from naive. Where do you get off making any reference to "my little friends" etc.?

You must be some crazy, uneducated person who is in the business of selling solar panels, or perhaps have some vested interest, like working for one of the energy companies that is pushing them.

Why don't you offer some helpful, knowledgeable information to this panel if you have any rather than offensive criticism? Either that, or crawl back to where you belong.

Be pro-active - dig deeper for the right information and protect your health and the environment.

You gotta die from something.

Healthawareness - This is the typical green BS & blather that comes about when people parrot what they are told rather than think.

If you are so concerned I suggest you just hide under a rock and don't eat or drink anything - the problem will be resolved shortly.

You can search anything and come up with horror stories - posted by people like you and your little friends. Often they are posted by a concerned scientist or environmentalist - both terms are meaningless without an individuals name attached.

You're doing a good job, if they were allowed to post spam unchecked these forums would soon become frustrating to visit.

[russ]

Today there have been several that were absolute spammers - China based for the most part.

Also a few links were removed.

Just for the record - members that contribute may be allowed to post links - many in the industry have excellent and in depth knowledge that is very helpful to others.

A one line or short paragraph that says little doe not qualify.

I see the mods here must be kept busy just deleting spam, I just noticed the latest one, with 10 in 5 minutes!

Are you guys running a spam posting contest you have not told us about?

[russ]

Hi Swampwood - The guy is throwing a tantrum as he thinks he should dictate what is going on.

He has been warned for the last time.

Ask your questions - no problem.

Russ

[Swampwood]

I get the lots of neg attitude, afraid to ask questions feeling here.
