Hello SteBo yes, you may miss out on some good user based advice and discussions that take place in the German forum (and there is certainly an awful lot of LOGO stuff happening there if that is your cup of tea). If Siemens were to close down their German forum though, what you'll find is that a fair amount of users would possibly simply join a different German PLC forum instead of starting to post in the English Siemens forum (being able to use your mothertongue for reading and postingis a powerful thing). Putting aside that closing the German Siemens forum would not impress Siemens's German customers, you (and all others here who don't speak German) would be worse off too by that move. The reason for that is that Siemens Service & Support employees are active in the Siemens forum too. They also keep an eye out for interesting and/orfrequently posted questions and answers and may choose to convertthese into a new offical Siemens FAQ. These are now translated into all the otherlanguages and everyone can as such benefit from the German Siemens forum (hint, if you find a post worthy of becoming a FAQ, you can use the "Inform Moderator" button to let them know). @ all others who "complain" about the unfair advantage that users who speak German as well asEnglish have during the Premium Campaign,I wonder if we are perhaps taking the Campaign a tiny bit too serious? Sure, having seperate Campaigns for the German and International version of the forum would be fairer, but allow me to suggest you do your homework and check which of theGerman and English speaking users a.) actually posted in both forums and b.) are represented inthe ranking list (be it top 10 or 20 or whatever). You can find this out quite easily by going to the Ranking list, click on the users name and look at his threads, followed by changing the Forum to "Deutsch" click on "Rangliste", select the user anddisplay his German contributions by clicking on"Themen dieses Benutzers anzeigen". It seems also abit hypocriticalto methat none of the Experts here have also "complained" about the unfair advantage that us Experts have during the Premium Campaign (e.g. wecan post in the "Expert only" conference, have additional post monitor features, open threads lists etc.). On that note @UMENCHO: I'm pleased to see you had a change of mindand now find it unfair that there is only one combined German/English Campaign (if memory serves me right, you had no problem making use of the German forum during last years Campaign until you decided to gracefully exit from it) Truth be told, the message I'm getting here is thatsome begrudge IBN-Servicefor his number 1 placing in the ranking list and believe that it is simply due to him being active in the German as well as in the English forum. The way I see it,he is at that place because he simply does what the Campaign brief says to do, which is"be an active participant'. From what I can gather, he also achieves this without resorting to the "You scratch my back and I scratch your back Buddy rating" that tends to surface during Campaigns. Enough said, that's my two cents worth anyhow. |

Hello fritz I think you are right. I dont know about others but I took this campaign stuff too seriously and thought too much about that Anyways, that was just openion from my side for having added advantage but thats not much proved valid as you explained Another thing is, I already mentioned that I didnot wrote this thing because IBN is at first because i know him very well and I know he deserve to be first. He was there at the TOP from last 3 campaign so there is no doubt about that. I also know that he is very much active member during and apart campaign time and he published so many good posts that even any day he dont publish single one, then also he will get max points due to stars by the users who got Help from him I am once again saying, whatever I said was my point of view in direction of some user who are far behind not for me Again Sorry for all Misunderstandings Thanks for your nice explanation Regards Devesh Vithani |
