The image used in this post is a cartoonised image of mine of two athletes helping each other in an tough obstacle race. Watching two people help each other is always a wonderful experience for the person outside the conversation, it is even more rewarding both for the person needing help and the person who is giving. Local Guides is all about giving and supporting each other.
Do you like helping people? Do you often reply to posts here on Connect? It is awesome to try and help people and I absolutely encourage every single Local Guide to do so, do it every day.
Here are a few guidelines that you might find helpful.
I hope people find this helpful. If you find someone who is not living the core values in their replies, feel free to give them a friendly nudge to read this post.

Hi @PaulPavlinovich,
This is a very helpful post and I think every Local Guide should go through it. Thank you for putting the important tips together!
Cheers!

Wonderful post @PaulPavlinovich!
I know @FaridTDF @ErmesT @YK1001 will wholeheartedly agree to your tips.
My personal tip is to re-read the original post and if there are existing responses read those too. If a fellow Local Guide has already responded with your answer there is no point to repeat the same answer.
This shows the poster (and the person who took the time to resply) that you have read thoroughly.
Cheers,
Karen

Thank you for tagging me for another nice post from @PaulPavlinovich, @KarenVChin!
It is very important to restate the question from the Original Poster (OP). As the conversation is here open to everyone to see, and might be helping people with similar issue for a long time to come, to make sure the question is clear and understandable to everyone is very important.
When LGs dedicated to answering question for enough time, it can be very easy to see the actual message the OP wanted to say and ask. And it will be quick to just provide a answer. However, and answer in this way will not help others.
Our aim should be: to help people solve their issues on hand. At the same time, make people visit Connect more, not only when having issues on hand to be resolved.

Thanks @PaulPavlinovich and @KarenVChin, the sum of the two sounds simply perfect to me.
Read all the replies is a basic rules, that avoid to repeat the same answer many times.
Very helpful, Paul
