I don’t vote but it’s an ambiguous title and post body that really seems low effort.
There’s forums where low effort is accepted but they seem to be the exception rather than the norm.
It could also be that everyone is on a witch hunt for ai agents and posing as a child is a great way to get away with doing agent shit.
aw thought you didnt have to professional online thats dumb i dont want to write a 100 page essay of bloat i can say what im looking for in 2 sentences
it is what it is
Our self perception can sometimes betray us.
I believe myself to be a kind and thoughtful person who earnestly tries to help others but it doesn’t always come across that way to them, especially in text.
I’m afraid you might be experiencing the same thing I do. While it’s incredibly clear to you what you’re asking about in the post titled simply “good vr?” with two short sentences for a body that give no indication what you’re actually asking or hoping to accomplish or under what constraints, it’s basically indecipherable to other people.
People reading what you write don’t know what you know, and can’t know unless you tell them. It can be a lot of work to do that, but people use that work to judge how serious you are about getting their help and for that reason you will get more and better quality help if you take the time to write out clearly what you want.
The people who have lots of experience will also be able to understand what you want and be able to use their experience to help you instead of just ignoring your incomprehensible requests.
A long time ago when irc was the norm for linux support chat there were very explicit rules about asking for help intended to curb people logging on and asking “it doesn’t work, what do!” At the time I struggled to adapt to the extremely formal constraints placed upon me when asking for help in that medium. Now, with the ability to analyze and describe problems myself I can quickly get assistance in that medium (and still do, I used irc help to resolve an issue last week) on the off chance that my problem solving skills don’t cut the mustard.
You are able to simply blast out quick posts but you may find that taking a little more time nets you better results :)
