The community is almost like a competetion of who can answer those questions the quickest and most effiecienlty which is a good thing. Key word, competetion. 

[Chuck Uebele]

Yea, it is, but hopefully it works out for the people asking questions. 

[Kuji Fox]

Not wrong

[Nancy OShea]

This isn't a contest.  I couldn't care less about points and badges.  That's not why I participate here. 

[Kuji Fox]

It's all about the success you help people bring. I'm not dissing at all, I totally respect those like and among you. Sorry if I was offensive u~u

[Nancy OShea]

No offense taken.  The point is we're all here to help one another.  That's the reward.

I get more satisfaction from a post giving thanks for a solution or workaround.

[Chuck Uebele]

I'm with Nacy and Bob. I enjoy helping people, but as I mentioned my first post, i can see what the OP mentioned. 

[Kuji Fox]

Mhm. So when someone faces bugs that aren't fixable how do you feel? Incompetent? I'm not attacking you just wondering.

[Nancy OShea]

Users frequently ask for the impossible.  Our job is to let them know what IS possible.  If it can't be done with one tool, maybe another tool or workaround will help.

That's kind of a silly question in my opinion.

Nobody here knows everything.  Most of us here don't expect to be able to find a solution for all issues.

If a real bug exists, we refer them to the appropriate place to report bugs.

[Kuji Fox]

Of course it was silly, this dedication you show to helping others is in a way inspirational, for real.

No, it is absolutely not about that. There is no value in being the fastest or having more right answers than others. I suppose it affects you, as you seem to like the word competition.

I despise the mere idea, my approach is simply collaborative. If this was a competitive filed, I would not be here. 

There are a lot of questions, and people do their best to answer. In a large community you will find people motivated by competition, or that have time enough to fulfill their pleasure by being first at whatever. Possibly it happens here too, that some people take it as a competition.

It does not mean it is.

In my point of view this is just a forum where people discuss issues on their apps, and share ideas.

I managed all my life to stay out of every competitive environment, I promise I would drop the community in a second if this was what this is all about.
