i think we all know what the OP was hinting, do you really need to ask if you were planning to acquire legitimately? first place anyone would look is the software vendors website

Sometimes some of the replies on this forum puts off newbies like me from asking questions. I intended to ask today for a suitable photo stacking software for beginers and where I can download a safe copy, I am quite prepaired to pay for it but I don't think I would have mentioned that in the question, so, would that have made me "unbelievable" after all, this is the Talk Basic section where the heading says " Absolutely no question is too silly or basic for us in here ".

I see what you are saying Neil but the forum doesn't and can't be seen to condone piracy / illegal software etc.
And yes, quite possibly if you'd posted your question and asked for a "safe copy" then there may well have been assumptions that you were after a dodgy copy of software.
However if you'd asked if there was any free photo stacking software for beginners it puts a completely different perspective on it.
So, I don't think its about being friendly or not, it's simply about using common sense when posing a question, and sometimes it takes a while too to get the hang of a forum community and their personality and likely reaction to certain topics, though to be fair, it's pretty clear if you use the FAQ's etc.

Disagree with this. Common sense doesn't apply in the talk basics section. I am new and had a few posts answered that now I think about it are really simple, but only simple IF YOU KNOW.
And there's a few too many people who patrol the forums looking for an opportunity to exercise their knowledge with the intent of putting someone down or just making them feel like a big man.
Rather than just allow people to turn these forums into a joke where you have to be a qualified and experienced lecturer in the use of dslrs just to post in the basic section, why not make it unacceptable to bully or demean those who are just starting out?
If someone posts 'where is the best place to buy a canon 7D?' Do we assume they want one that's fallen off the back of a lorry? No

I have no problem with you disagreeing Kris, but the IF YOU KNOW is nothing to do with the Talk Basics section at all, or being a newbie for that matter I'm afraid.
The simple fact is that the way the original post was worded gave the implication of someone after a dodgy copy of software.
Thats nothing to do with the Talk Basics section, nothing to do with being "in the know" it's a simple matter of the use of language and it's application.
Im not sure I agree with common sense not applying in this section either
Additionally, if you think someone is bullying someone on the forum you should hit the report to moderator button which is right there with every post on this whole forum.

Thanks for the tip. This is something I'm more than aware of and have used a few times.
Also dont forget the option to ignore people. Click on their user name and "ignore" there are a few on here worth ignoring.
