Is it appropriate for high-level members to handle posts in this way?

It’s not in line with the rules, but the person is enthusiastic. It’s a mixed review, I guess. I was moved by this person and decided to do something for the forum. (This does not imply an official moderator status.)

It seems this is a sensitive post; I’ll take the risk and share my thoughts too. I expect to get criticized for it. I saw this post this morning as well. But I find it difficult to comment on such matters. My personal opinion is as follows: Under normal circumstances, if someone needs information urgently, I’ll provide it myself via QQ or email. I’ve been in situations where I needed information quickly myself. As long as it’s not a repeated request, I’m willing to help with one or two urgent requests. However, I really don’t agree with the approach taken by the administrator in this post – giving points so directly, where everyone can see it, can have an impact. My only concern is that if everyone starts posting similar requests, it will be easy to award several dozen points. I’m not sure about the scoring system in other forums; in our forum, only those posts that offer highly detailed and professional analyses deserve scores of 10 or more. It seems a bit unfair in this way. Additionally, according to the person who posted the message, it is still possible to pay using money. So telling him the address for quick payment or arranging mailing might help to provide some extra funds for the site owners. I agree with what the original poster said: when one has sufficient financial resources, encouraging other members to donate is a win-win situation. I partially agree with what this senior member did; but that’s just my personal opinion. I also don’t agree with overly strict requirements. However, sometimes the actions of senior members can affect the atmosphere of the forum. We tend to overthink things and be prepared for potential problems, but maybe it’s not such a big deal after all. After all, a great dam can be destroyed by tiny holes.

Let me say a few words. At that time, the supervisor of the cleaning staff was not online, so Lao Niu offered help to that person, and it was a very good thing.   I also helped download the materials back then and was busy until 2 a.m. Do you know what others’ reviews were? “Haichuan is not only a good forum, but its members are also great. ”    In the past, people like the Beach City Watchers would also help such new members. It’s the same as how many moderators these days help new members get upgraded; therefore, such an approach is beneficial for the forum.   Also, for retired moderators like Lao Niu, it makes sense that they don’t want to take on casual advisory roles; I don’t want such trivial matters to hurt a veteran member. If the heart of a former moderator is lost, they won’t return to Haichuan. Don’t you see how many veteran members have stopped active participation?

The problem is that he uses the bonus rights granted to him by the forum, rather than his own wealth, to help others. I think it’s better to guide them to earn points through labor.            A few days ago I encountered an example: there was a member in the forum who was in the seventh grade and another who was in the fourth grade (one was online from Hebei and the other from Wuhan); they asked me to send them two sets of materials, saying it was urgent. Send it at noon. This afternoon, those two individuals received the materials I sent them. The member in the fourth grade, without telling me, distributed those materials maliciously on the forum, and wrote our company’s name in large, clear letters. Do you think such people deserve sympathy? There are also many people who constantly post “I beg...”, which is a typical example of laziness.           Now when someone asks me to post, I can invite them to the discussions in my area and give them points. I will never pass the information to him.  

Everyone gets anxious at times, and Lao Niu’s intention is to help others. Many people probably share this feeling: after receiving help from somewhere, they always try to find ways to repay that kindness. Lao Niu may seem to be breaking the rules, but I believe he is sowing seeds of friendship, and I’m sure this new member will be grateful to the forum. I also contributed some sponsorship. I have also helped some new members who were in urgent need of information; Bincheng, Romi, and many moderators have done the same as well. Of course, there are principles behind providing help: it should be used to address emergencies rather than to help the poor, and more participation should be encouraged.

        Everyone thought Old Ox’s approach was correct.         We are all involved in this forum, thanks to such a great platform. Isn’t our goal to help more people, so that you, me, and them can improve through this forum and through our HaiChuan, thereby facilitating our work and technical exchanges? I have done something like this before: for those members with a lower rank (I’m talking about those at the second grade level), if their skills are good or if they simply don’t have enough resources, I would give them extra points. I think everyone starts at a low level; who doesn’t face times of urgency or difficulties? If we can extend a hand to help them, it might be a small effort for us, but it can solve their immediate problems. As a result, you might even become good friends with them, and over time, they might really fall in love with this forum. This can also be seen as a form of guidance, thereby contributing to harmony.         I remember when I was in the third grade of elementary school, I needed some information from a forum. However, the access restrictions there were quite strict, so I turned to Sister Piaoxiang, who was in charge of the foreign language section at that time. She was more than happy to help me, and that led to a good friendship between us.         What I mean is that, as the administrators of the forum, they should do whatever is within their power to help the members, rather than lacking compassion; Lao Niu, who serves as our role model, deserves respect from everyone!

No wonder there are more and more ads on our forum; it’s easy to click on them without paying attention. That day, Piaoxiang even said that a beautiful woman appeared to play games with her. It seems that being a cleaner isn’t easy!
