Duck Call/Signal: Emergencies that Need Help!

[robbyvg]

I would suggest that we in this forum have a sticky thread that serves as a digital ER - at least the best we can. It should be a sticky because I have seen too many emergency threads not get the attention they need simply because, in their distress, folks can't verbalize and be descriptive. Their threads are rarely seen. Instead. ER. Duck Call. Sticky thread for all emergencies as they happen!

This is our signal

That's what making a thread in the emergency forum is for, having one thread for all pressing issues will get confusing and slow down getting help to the right people. This forum also has archival qualities, being able to search the forums for titles with similar issues described is helpful for members with similar issues, just in case the issue was solved by a member that's no longer active, the info is easy to fine. A well meaning idea but not practical for the long term, unfortunately.

I know I'm pretty new to the forum but I agree with @nuthatched. There are usually several ER type posts a day & having them in one thread I think would get very confusing quickly, especially it the person is new to the forum.

My preference would be for a Duck specific emergency sub-forum.
