It might sound easy - all you do is ask, right?
But especially when we get new staff members, it seems difficult! Let& #39;s explore... (1/7)

This is the first mistake! I see this one all the time.
Two problems:
1) The person you& #39;re trying to ask your question to is going to get pinged more than once.
2) If the person you& #39;re pinging is afk, they can& #39;t answer your Q when back, by which time you might be afk!

Here& #39;s the next mistake. Just ask your question!

It& #39;s not like a phone call, or face-to-face meeting where it would be rude to just ask without greeting.
And please, if it& #39;s not important, try not to ask overly needy questions directly to people you barely know. :3 (3/7)

Next... Use proper grammar and spelling!
Even if I want to help you, and want to answer your question, it& #39;s really hard to do that if what you ask just doesn& #39;t make sense.
No one is psychic. Please help us help you by being precise and clear. (4/7)

Please keep it chill.
If you asked a question to someone and they didn& #39;t reply yet, please respect their time and the fact that they might be busy (or just not want to talk).
Especially if they literally told you that they& #39;re busy!

It is not a valid competition attempting to send as many individual direct messages to someone as possible in order to ask a single question.
... this guy never got there!

Thus concludes our adventure!
- Ask immediately, don& #39;t ask to ask.
- Don& #39;t waste time with pointless small talk when you need help.
- Use proper grammar and spelling; make it easier to help you!
- Respect the time of the person your asking.
You& #39;ve got this! Go forth and ask!
