Hey everyone,
I've been around these forums for many years now (long before I was registered), and the same challenges come up time and time again around giving advice.
Carl made a very good point yesterday about not giving advice to someone until you've seen them play, but unfortunately, with a tiny percentage of people looking for help actually posting any photos/videos, those threads would remain empty and unwelcoming.
Whilst I have always championed people posting videos of themselves before asking for help, I appreciate it's always going to be a challenge.
So, why do we think this is? Is it the "instagram effect", where the beginners looking for help think that everyone else is semi pro (because, they really aren't!)
The second point would be, can we get some sort of verification system in place for people where we know their level, and we know the advice is coming from a place of ability?
There are tons of people offering advice all over the place, but if that advice is coming from a relative beginner who is just trying to justify their own equipment..... It's not really the same.
I can probably count on one hand how many people I've seen play on this forum.
I personally think it would make for a better experience all around, where people know the advice they are getting is coming from a "verified" player, and not just an internet expert.
Thoughts?
