PO Community Service and why YOU should do it

Lets just start by saying that the point of this post is aimed at the veterans of this site, the ones who know where things are, all the functionality and how to earn points here in the quickest way possible in an effort to educate the new people who are coming in droves recently.

Here is our hero's story - 6 days ago I helped someone who wanted some pointers on how to make more PO points in a quicker time period without really spending money. To his amazement, I pointed out two areas of the site that had surveys for 900-2200 pts, and we ran through one. Took about 10 minutes, but in that time span, he earned 2200 pts - I declined to take any of the points as I think it would have defeated the purpose of actually helping someone...

Well that night, I took my whopping 3 bucks in my BCP account and made a crazy bet that hit...and 6 days later, the heater is still going at an insane rate.

So why did this happen? Did I all of a sudden become a good poker player and expert sports bettor (NOOOO)? The answer is karma - by helping someone with nothing to gain here, somehow I have been blessed with crazy degen stupid luck.

Still with me? Here is where you, the reader, comes in. We have a lot of new people that ask a lot of questions, but we have a mod staff that is answering the same thing 50-60 times a day without the help of the older members (save a few). I am asking the vets here to do their part in helping a new member FOR FREE (for the cost of a cup of coffee, you can feed a small PO child for a month) - whether it's answering questions, showing someone some trick you know, explaining a promotion, anything.

Stop reading and go do it now. Thanks.

Gee Rooster thanks for shitting all over the message and missing the point completely. Well done.

Been there, done that, but karma ignores me most of the time.

I won't stop though :)

what are the requirements to be a OG Veterans here on PO?

what a cok! Well done Riv. MORE TRIVDEEA .!.

It's the way it should work, WITHOUT the swearing or distain for a new member who asks simple question. (I know it's hard with some, they make your blood pressure skyrocket in 2 seconds flat.) BUT - You will find the members who don't or WON'T take any type of payment for helping because if you help out others everyone benefits from it in a small way - whether it be seeing completed offers in the ticker or having someone else to donk in a free roll.

ive done tons of things for free for members here. what i have learned over the last couple years is if you help someone for free they come to expect the behavior daily. they do not try n take the time to do things on their own. alas i still help people daily and get kicked in the head eventually

This part made me lol,
Nicely said riv.

i always try to help, but far as karma, lol that shit dont apply to me...good read though

u selling bcp?

I'm sorry, but I don't have the patience to help all of the dumb, ignorant people that filter through this site, refuse to read any of the shit laid out for them, and then disappear in a week. However, for those that do have some semblance of intelligence and respect that are just confused, I'll lend a helping hand. Although, I'm not the person to turn to for earning points since my methods aren't suitable for n00bs. I can help with some CF questions and that's about it!

I cant speak for anyone but myself, Being a "NOOB" =), was a little confused on how to convert and earn pts.......... It was a simple task that someone did to help me out, and yes to a seasoned Vet of PO I'm sure it was" dumb/ ignorant" questions that needed answered at the time. And I can't imagine there was any member new or old that joined and just knew what they were doing without a little guidance. It was eye opening to me since I have just joined ..... recently finding a site with members that, for the most part, only wanted to see their cohorts do well, as long as it wasn't against them, all whom I have chatted or played with here almost........ I would like to see do well. And all advice I have had the pleasure of getting I am more then willing to pass on to anyone that needs it. It's cheesy I know but I applaud all that are willing to give just a few minutes of time to someone just because you can. Like a GREAT man once said DAYTIKDERJIRBBBBBBBBBBB thanks again RIVDEE for no more then a cup of coffee

your a good guy do what you feel is right inner peace is bliss

I lasted longer in this mornings tournament than the oppenent for last the longest and have still not received my points.. Any help would be great
