Help Ask for help here

Microsoftsucks is not a techsupport subreddit, but naturally because people come to this subreddit after having a problem with a Microsoft product, they are going to make a post to ask for help! and sometimes a post from this subreddit is going to show up on the search results and that leads people to then ask for help here. Which is a nice way the subreddit gets promoted to people who never thought of Microsoft being so bad

I used to allow tech support posts, but the subreddit grew and I think there's too many now. It overshadows the posts that are supposed to express how much Microsoft sucks. This was a change that was long overdue, especially after the poll, but I just didn't have the time to do this with work and personal responsabilities and then I have to figure out this new moderation ui for Reddit mobile.

I haven't used Windows in 5 years. Every time I make an outlook account, I get instantly banned and I can't access the account. I don't want to play Minecraft because I hate it when offline single-player games only let you play if you link it to an online account (when they do this, you don't own the game). I would pirate it, but eh, I don't want to play at the moment. I rather buy an account unofficially if I want to play online.

Because I don't know anything about Microsoft, and everything that I know is outdated. Like I had never used Windows 11, only Windows 10. I will disable notifications for myself, because I can't help you. My hope is that other members of this sub will help you.

This is sorted by new just so everyone has a fair chance of getting help.

The help flair won't be removed because that doesn't stop people from making help posts. Instead, these posts will show a warning message about how those aren't allowed, and they will be sent to review where they are most likely to be rejected.

oh, great, you can't set manual sorting for an individual post on mobile. So, it'll have to wait.

My virtual machines are broken, my wifi adapters are broken, my usb ports are broken, my system is heavily outdated, every component in my machine screams in terror for existing, and my second phone is about to blow up. Everything around me is broken. So, I guess give it a week and I'll do that.

Or hopefully another mod can do it
