Please note the following are examples of content or activities that are prohibited on the Site, site mods / admin decision is final:
3.1 engaging in post count inflation by posting excessive amounts of short replies for the sole purpose of inflating your post count. This includes the infamous “thanks for the share.” . (If you'd like to say “Like” to someone for their effort/contribution, make use of the Like button).
While it's understandable that not every post might meet everyone's standards or expectations, it's essential to remember that public forums are made up of diverse individuals from different backgrounds and levels of expertise. Instead of focusing on the negatives, let's aim to uplift each other and create a more constructive environment. If you feel there's a knowledge gap, I'd encourage you to lead by example. Share your insights, provide accurate information, and help guide those who might be less informed. It's easy to criticize from the sidelines, but true leadership comes from stepping up and making a positive impact. Let's work together to enhance the quality of the discussions here.
Quite often the people who post here asking for advice (e.g., "where to incorporate", "what are the tax implications of x") provide very minimal information, which makes it impossible to come up with anything that is not generic and would actually add significant value in the specific case.
The second factor affecting the quality of responses is that we all have limited knowledge (nobody knows the up-to-date legislation of 190 jurisdictions), which creates a bias further amplified by business interests.
What could be helpful is drafting some guidelines for posting in certain cases.
My main point is that
THE QUALITY OF THE ORIGINAL POST DETERMINES THE FAITH OF THE THREAD, as it's a common courtesy that we should aim to stay on topic or at least somewhat relevant to the original post(er) when posting in a thread.
OffshoreCorpTalk is a wonderful place. There is plenty of great information here and a lot of entertainment. There is always more room for great information, but why would anyone want to come here and spend their time sharing something valuable for free? Based on my experience, great legal and tax experts are usually very occupied and don't need to chase clients.
