Nexus: what to write The wording of the messages a buyer has to compose

A reference site. Not the market, not connected to it, and it cannot pass a message to anybody.

Asking in public

A question posted in public is read by people who want to help and by people who are looking for exactly the state you are in. Both audiences see the same words, so the wording has to work for one and be useless to the other.

What the second audience is looking for

  • Somebody locked out. The most valuable state to find, because the offer of help is welcome.
  • Somebody whose money has not appeared. Same reason.
  • Somebody who names their market and their problem in one line. That is the whole search.
  • Somebody who replies. Any reply proves the account is live and attended.

How to ask anyway

Ask about the mechanism rather than about your situation. A question about how something works in general gets the same useful answer and tells nobody that you personally are currently stuck with money in the air.

Weak versionexample written for this site
Quoting: the version most people send

my nexus deposit still hasnt credited after 6 hours and im starting to panic, its a lot of money, has anyone had this and what do i do, please help

Strong versionexample written for this site
Quoting: the version that works better

How long do deposits normally take to credit on markets like this one, and what usually causes a slow one. Asking generally, not stuck on anything right now.

The weak one is an advertisement: a market, a state, an amount and a mood, which is everything somebody needs to write you a convincing private message within the hour. The strong one gets the identical answer without telling anybody that you are the person who needs it.

What follows a public post

Private messages, sometimes within minutes, and they will be helpful, patient and knowledgeable. That is not evidence of anything. Support lives inside the market behind a login and nowhere else, so the channel settles it before you read a word. See answering fake support.

The handle

Do not use the same handle here that you use on the market. A question in public tied to a name that exists inside a market joins the two permanently, and that cannot be undone by deleting the post.

What a public post gives away

What you writeWhat it tells the wrong reader
The market nameWhich script to use
The state you are inThat help will be welcome right now
An amountHow much effort is worth spending
A tone of panicThat the usual checks will not be applied
Any reply at allThat the account is live and read

Asking generally still works

The answer to how long deposits normally take is the same answer whether or not you say yours is late. That is true of nearly every question people ask in public about this, which means the identifying half of the message was never buying anything.
