Think about what this place would be if more people would use it like OP does. Why help OP and not <random person who posted for help but never got answers>? Why not help everyone who asks for help? This isn't Stack Overflow.

- criddell 5y ago> Think about what this place would be if more people would use it like OP does. I don't really think much would change. Most submissions don't get much attention and I doubt that's going to change. Feel free to not vote for Ask HN submissions like this. I voted for this one because I was curious what the community would come up with and I'm not disappointed. > Why not help everyone who asks for help? If that's what you want to do, then do it. Patrol /newest and act quickly because most of the requests for help are going to pop up and scroll away within an hour or so.
- onecommentman 5y agoIt would probably be better if there was a posted article on “How to reclaim your online account if a soulless social media company you foolishly trusted arbitrarily and capriciously deletes said account” and the discussion ensued from that. In lieu of such a article, this is a way people would address issues on tech forums back in the days of Usenet, BBSs…back in the days we elders sometime long for. Seems charming in a way…the neighbor knocking on the back door asking for a cup of sugar. Do agree it could get out of hand, but why don’t we wait until the moderators start complaining?
