→Create a summary thread if users post their problem across multiple threads
| Line 68: | Line 68: | ||
* Lots of times, desperate users post fragments or all of their problems as replies to multiple (let's call it 'n') threads. This would be great if their problems were 100% identical to the problems in the multiple threads and if the threads were active. Unfortunately 99% of the time the problem is not the same and more than 50% of the time the thread is inactive or hopelessly muddled and confusing with several users asking for help with multiple similar but not identical problems. | * Lots of times, desperate users post fragments or all of their problems as replies to multiple (let's call it 'n') threads.

In their desperation, they don't realize that this makes it more difficult to help them. They figure that this will maximize the exposure and likelihood of getting a response. Recommendation: Create a new "summary" support topic for them with a relevant title and with content paraphrasing all of their problem across all the threads. And then post a reply (using the "use one topic, not multiple topics boilerplate") on all 'n' (or at least 2 of n) of their threads linking to the summary support topic and unsubscribe from the other threads in Get Satisfaction. | * In their desperation, they don't realize that this makes it more difficult to help them.
