begging people to at least try a single keyword search in the extensive documentation of the thing they’re always asking about

As an extension to this, when giving help please link/direct people to the help documentation rather than/as well as providing the answer.

I bet if we all had a dollar for every situation that could have been resolved by someone taking even the most basic review of a game’s documentation, we’d all be way less financially desperate.

@Roz Why would I do that when someone always answers me tho

Tempted, now, to write some passive-aggressive code snippet that looks for the words ‘how do I’ on a game’s Help or Newbie channel and just pages with “have you tried fuckin’ lookin’ it up, champ?”
ETA: I’ll be nice and make it only send for characters created 30+ days ago.

Shadowrun Denver has a great thing on the game itself: +document/find. It searches every +help or +policy file on the game, and in the past people have passive aggressively answered questions with ‘+document/find [word]’.
Sure is a shame about the other bits.

Make it even more passive aggressive and have it lock out all other commands until they type the exact command required to answer the question. So everytime they type anything, the game just responds with something like “Have you tried +help +desc yet?”.

@MisterBoring Either that or the game just produces the generic “Huh?” ‘I don’t understand’ message until you type it out.

I work somewhere that has the oddest files and search for work policies and forms they want. I stand beside the fact that I can search them and find them the quickest in the company is because of playing on games and looking for help files.

when rp relationships open up rl relationship wounds. Is this a MU peeve?
