Special fees

Living Room
#1

A lot of times I have started a rant on people who were too lazy to use the search and made me do their work for them. At some times I am nicer than on others, I am only human too and have my mood swings. So at one time you will only receive a blunt reply as ‘Use the search, it is there for a reason’ and sometimes you will receive an answer, but I will include a sarcastic comment referring to the wonders of the search.

Some people have complained this was unfriendly of me and I showed very little concern for those with little experience with etiquette that applies to this forum. Sometimes those people are perhaps correct, but generally speaking you do know, deep inside perhaps, that I am correct. It is easy to give the answer sometimes, but you will learn so much more when you put in a little effort of your own (heck, with the search you do get your answer so much quicker at least 95 out of a 100 times).

But, for those poeple who just don’t seem to learn I have incorporated a new policy. The policy is based on the Sysadmin Price List. I have slightly modified the list so that it applies to this forum, but all other items found on this list do also apply still.

[ul]
[li]Questions received via PM or E-mail without first trying the search - € 20.00
[/li][li]Questions posted on the forum without first trying the search and making me do it for you - € 85/hr
[/li][li]If you interrupt me while I was trying to actually fix somebody else’s problem - € 45/hr
[/li][li]Dealing with tech support requests for obviously pirated software - € 100
[/li][li]Dealing with “How can I get another copy of [obviously pirated software]? Mine just died.” requests - € 45
[/li][li]Actually needing to explain copyright law to you after you failed to get the hint in the previous response - € 95
[/li][li]Not telling all of your co-workers about it - € 850.00 [/ul]
[/li]And of course:
Questioning the other prices … € 50

Please note that for hourly rates I will be forced to always charge the first hour in full, all time spent afterwards will be rounded up to quarters of the hour.

All transactions can be handled through [our Paypal](https://www.paypal.com/xclick/business=Donate%40cdfreaks.com&item_name=
CD+Freaks+Research+Department&no_shipping=1) account (and thus fund our new server).

I trust to have informed you all sufficiently. However, should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me, but keep above-mentioned rates in mind when you do.

Sincerely,

Da_Taxman

LOL

If it helps, who knows, might be worth paying for to get Tax banned for a day… :bigsmile:

No, I think Tax is absolutely right about this. I know that it is sometimes annoying that he keeps complaining of people NOT using the search.

But I see in the Dutch: General hardware and software section alot of posts that have been made within 2 weeks or so that apply for the same question and/or problem.

So people try the search, it’s easy (i’ve been @ a few forums and this one works really good) and you make Tax a happy man.

Think you got me wrong here, the money mentioned above is not intended for me personally, but it is for CD Freaks.
This I think is also a good cause, but I think Tax will win something here cause here in holland we have to pay 19% BTW (VAT).

But knowing Tax he will donate that 19% then to cdfreaks :wink:
