nosupport | Modmail is not for tech support. We can only handle moderation queries here. If you need help, describe your problem in #tech-support and someone may try their best to help you. See #server-information for more information about support channels. |
betterhelp | Whilst we do have #tech-support, we aren't a support-first server. People help as and when they can, and you can always ping the Community Tech Support role to see if any of our Technical Query Slayers are available, but we still ask that you exercise some patience here. |
patience | Nobody is answering my question or helping me! What should I do? Firstly, be patient, no one is obligated to help you. It might take a while for someone to be able to help you. Furthermore, be sure you’ve provided as much detail as possible to make it easy for us to help you. If you’ve done this, and you still need help and it’s been around a day or so and you’ve not had any help, then consider asking again. If you need official support, go to https://support.microsoft.com/contactus |
