For all you Support Leaders out there, I'd like to let you know that you're disappointing me. I know that this question has been asked through this forum's history and I'm partly to blame but what can we as a community do to increase support?

I don't know... I feel SO bad about it, but I usually try to do at least one a day.  I've been busy recently, and I've been a long term helping session with one person... :(.

We were doing so good a couple of weeks ago... was everyone on spring break or something?  Because it seems like we fell apart...

I've really been trying to help. I feel bad for the ones that I couldn't do. I know, I'm trying yet I can't over excel.

I just have issues answering the relationship ones. I really don't have anything to say. But if no one else is going to/can, I might as well offer SOMETHING.

Not everyone can deal with eHelp.

I absolute despise these threads.

The site isn't just about eHelp.

I've found that one way to cut the number flashing is to delete the spam ones telling us all to go pony-trekking in Oregon or whatever it is.

I know what we can do to increase the level of support.

Ban everyone, except for two members. They can support each other.

No, but seriously, it just involves making people sit down and offering their support. But how can we do that without driving them away from LiveWire, because they're fed up at not being able to do anything but their support functions.

I'd recommend that people cracked down on none-con in the support forums for a start. It might give you a little more shit, but people would soon learn that guidelines actually mean something.

Thank you. Completely agreed.

As for the number of eHelps flashing... you know, I really don't like it when other SLs tell us to get a move on and answer them. We all see them flashing, and if we could, we would answer them. Otherwise we wouldn't be support leaders, right? If we can answer them, we will. There's no use in making us feel bad for them sitting there. This is ALWAYS going to be an issue (and it's always going to piss me off).

Yeah, I'm sorry. I guess this is kind of hypocritical of me, too..

I answered two this morning, but I feel like a hypocrite right now when I give advice. Alot of the eHelps coming in, I'm having troubles like that. And I feel that I can't actually answer. I know what I should put, but I feel so contradicting because I don't do that in my situation.

I feel guilty because I know I'm slacking, but I'm trying my best. Personal issues of mine are just conflicting.

We can un-mod you, David has a habit of making support leaders who are really good with ehelps moderators, what is he thinking? How is that a good idea?

A lot of the ehelps I see really don't need to be ehelps. They're not urgent and could so easily be answered on the forums. I've answered a LOT of e-helps this past week, but it's nowhere near as popular with SL's as it used to be.

It might have something to do with the ridiculous amount of coffee I've drunk, but I found that fucking hilarious.
