starburst1980 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Hey Sites such as Mess.be give credit when a problem is reported or something similar. Maybe Neowin should also do this.

James123 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Why should you get credit? Firstly, you don't even know if they already knew about it before you even mentioned anything, and just hadn't had time to correct it. Second, as you said you and many others reported the problem, if they give credit to one person the other people who reported the same problem may complain. I come to this site to see news, I don't need to see a list of peoples names who noticed an incorrect digit in an article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-Gonzales Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 When you report a thread in IPB, a PM (personal message) gets sent to all the staff with a link to the thread in question, along with your personal note. (by default. it can be changed though) All the staff can do is just say a simple "thank you" You don't really need credit. The Simple "thank you" is good enough.

dead.cell Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 If it's credit you're after, then I'd probably suggest you just... not 'Report a Problem' anymore. Edit - Oh, if you decide not to report anymore problems, could you please credit me each time you choose not to report? Thaaaanks!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not how it works here, we have a custom reporting system, so it's not as simple as pressing reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
