[wp-forums] Anyone want a go with 'None'?

[Les Bessant]

It's people like that who stop me spending as much time in the forums as I used to. I wouldn't tolerate that attitude from the people I'm paid to support in my actual job.

Finally he asked how much it'd cost to get help, and he was told where to go. Then he came back, 5 days later, posting 'modlook' multiple times. Which I deleted and told him not to do that (it's a tag, not a post). Finally he said he wanted his original post deleted, because people were finding it on search and it was unprofessional.

Is there anyone out there who uses this site to assist people or I am going to have to deal with someone who simply wants to - for some unknown reason - make a new wordpress user consider leaving the whole lot behind and going elseware?

The only suggestion you seem to be able to offer is to HIRE HELP! I am pretty sure that it not the aim of the forum so as for "coming out with comments like that" you may want to look into taking up your own advice. As a forum and a free service, you must also learn to appreciate that some, if not many, wordpress users are not experienced in certain aspects of the service and thus require help from time to time, not pedantic, unhelpful and pretty pointless comments like yours.
