Post proposal

Support the original poster. I've had this idea for a long time. For those of us in engineering, the most basic requirement is that problems must be described clearly, so that others can fully understand what you mean; this is essential. Other things such as using professional terminology and posing well-structured questions are also important. I think this is also the most basic requirement. Suggestion: In the future, for issues that are not clearly stated, the moderators should directly remind the user to clarify them before displaying the content; otherwise, it should be deleted outright to improve the quality of forum posts.

It’s a great suggestion; I hope it will catch the attention of the moderators! It’s better to be strict; points can be deducted from those who post just to meet the quota.

Let’s take an example: In the Oil Refining Technologies section, under the topic of “Emergency Shutdown Due to DCS Blackout”, what should be done when the DCS screens of a catalytic cracking unit go black? Please explain the procedure for an emergency shutdown of the catalytic unit? We should look at issues based on the facts rather than targeting individuals. I don’t even know who posted this question (Liu Liu); such a problem simply shouldn’t arise in the first place. Besides, if there are such issues with your equipment, then don’t you in your workshop or company have any emergency response plans in place? Don’t your operators have the ability to handle emergency situations?

Describe the problem clearly; search first before posting – this is something everyone should follow. As for the issue of the level of the questions, it is debatable. Firstly, due to differences in everyone’s level, the depth of perspective on issues varies, and there are many newcomers on the forum ； Secondly, there is a big gap between people; sometimes the members who ask questions are not necessarily from this industry. If the restrictions are too strict, it will create fear among members. Does the original poster agree with my view?

6# chengkang: It’s difficult to determine the level of the problem; I agree with the view expressed on floor 6!

The poster fails to explain things clearly and posts in an improper manner; the section moderator can remind them to pay attention when posting. For posts that are requests for help, the moderator should be cautious before deleting them. New members have just arrived and have only just learned how to post messages; yet the next day their posts were deleted, which greatly affects their mood, and HaiChuan might lose one of its members as a result. As long as it’s not meant as a prank, the moderators will patiently teach beginners how to post and how to search.

A great ocean can hold many rivers; only by being inclusive can one achieve greatness. Don’t we have systems and measures such as ratings and elite member programs? Make good use of it; by distributing rewards in a similar manner based on effort, it can boost everyone’s enthusiasm. As long as members are enthusiastic, we should accept them; this is one of the meanings behind the phrase \"Embrace all rivers; only by being inclusive can one be great.\" ； Only in this way can our forum become stronger. If the quality of posts made by members is poor, we can gradually train and bring in some elites to serve us all – that is indeed the original purpose of our forum. Each of us has grown from 0 to 100, and it is our responsibility to help them grow faster and better. We are an elite forum, a grassroots forum, and also a forum for the general public. As the official moderators, we sincerely welcome everyone to speak up and share your valuable opinions. Truly benefit from our forum by \"learning together and making progress together\".

Some people agree with the original poster’s suggestion while others are not so convinced. Indeed, for request posts, it’s best for everyone to describe the problem clearly, so that we can understand it better and provide answers that are more relevant to the actual situation. However, whether the question is simple or not isn’t important; after all, some questions raised by forum members may fall outside their area of expertise, and it’s normal not to be familiar with them.

Replying to floor 6: It’s entirely possible for the DCS to go black; you may just not have encountered this situation before. Moreover, it can be quite dangerous when it goes black
