If you want to get timely help from someone...

• Don't ask to ask, just ask. Also Please Don't Say Just Hello In Chat.
  • If you say everything you need in one line when you first contact me, I will be able to read what is wrong, what needs to be done, and can do it right away when I read them.
  • If you don't do ^, I will need to wait for your response on missing parts, and I might be doing something else (with much higher priority), or even sleeping when you respond.
  • In short, try to explain "what went wrong, what needs to be done, and why" in one line. This will guarantee the fastest response time.
    • Exception: If you need to contact me with private information but you don't know where to contact me, email me and say "I emailed you", or you can PM revi on LiberaChat.
• If you asked something, be patient.
  • I am not on call and waiting for your questions 24/7. I have things to do in life, I might be driving, I have to sleep.
  • If you send more messages, I will need to read more messages, that means you will get delayed response.
• To Be Written...
