Relationship questions are left up because eHelp is the medium through which members can speak to a large number of Support Leaders exclusively about their problems. And because 99% of SLs dont bother their arses to reply on the support forums where these questions ideally would be located, who can blame them?

I don't mind the relationship ones too much.  It's frustrating sometimes, but I know that for some people their relationship problems are an emergancy in their life.


And they might have wanted to be anonymous.

You know, I don't tend to reply to relationships.  It's not because I cant be "arsed", but because I have only ever had ONE boyfriend, and I hardly ever see him anyway.  I have absolutely NO IDEA what the heck I am supposed to be doing, so how can offer advice?

That wouldn't be very responsible.  It's like a Sparrow teaching a fish to swim.

I don't appreciate the "where can I find..." eHelps, when they could have made a topic, or just saved everyone some time and googled it.  Gees.

I wish that we could get feedback about our feedback. Like it the eHelp poster who rates us could say why they rated us the way they did, but chances are they'd only let us know if it was positive probably, plus who really wants to bother to fill stuff out for why they voted a certain way.

I would love to hear how I, personally, could improve when I got get superb ratings, but unless the person leaves their name then there's really nothing to be done.

We all understand how painful, annoying, and frustrating it is to see your hard work thrown back in your face, but hence is the life of a hormone-ridden teen.

Ok.  I accept that.  We try, sometimes we succeed, sometimes the desperate grasp the strength we give them, just enough to throw a punch our way.  Metaphorically speaking.

I would like them to realise the crap feelings they give us though.  And that to steal our time like that SHOULD be a crime.  But then again, they are teenagers, and they (I would say "we" but I just stopped being a teenager) have a reputation for a reason.

Alright.  Thank you for the posts, it helps to know what people are thinking/feeling.

It shouldn't be about the ratings you receive, it should be about always trying your hardest to help someone, regardless of the time it takes or the manner in which they receive your advice.

I agree with you that its not about the ratings one receives but when someone spends a great amount of time writing a response when they could be doing something better for themselves.

But I feel as if some people do it out of spite and just because you tell them the truth which they really don't want to hear.

At the end of the day its just a rating on an Internet forum.
