Thread: We are here to help each other, are we not?

When a person come to a forum he is mostly looking for a specific help that the forum users can provide. If the person were pleased with the help, hospitality and welcoming he eventually would became a virtual friend of this community and provide some help in return. This is a natural way for all the forums to evolve.

But if the person is forced to do something in return even before he had accustomed to the forum's community (and even if there is nobody he can help) it looks really weird like a sect or a closed high school club for self elected. The person would hardly ever be pleased with such a request and think twice is this forum really worth to join it at all.

Especially such a request looks strange from the point of established "democracy", those democracy that "killed" our beloved Оля.

I believe that our forum (as well as any forum) would be more active and positive if it will be considered as a free will community. Even more I would personally prefer if this "free will" would be rather free as "free bear" than "free speech".
