Private Messaging for help - Techwatch: Satellite TV forums, FTA, Cable, Hardware, & Tech forums

Whilst myself and the other Mods are willing to help, most of the questions asked in PM's are better asked in the open forums. I myself know very little about the Eurovox, but have received 20 PM's asking questions about them this week alone!

From now on, most PM's especially from new members (ie less than 5 good posts) will be ignored, so please ask your questions in the open forums and help each other - that's what the forums are for.

Just to add, if you ask in public and get a useful answer, it's available for everyone to reference - it makes it easier on you, us, and them.

If you bug staff with help PM's, not only are your questions - public or private - likely to be ignored, but staff are welcome to ban such people.

Well said Lincsat, im having the same problem, im repeating the same answer more than several times, so please ask questions in the forums, it would make things a lot more easier for everyone.

Just to repeat - if you PM Tech Watch staff for support, you're likely to get banned - that's what the forums are for, thanks.
