And the inspirational quote of the month is:

Heroes represent the best of ourselves, respecting that we are human beings. A hero can be anyone from Gandhi to your classroom teacher, anyone who can show courage when faced with a problem. A hero is someone who is willing to help others in his or her best capacity.

― Ricky Martin

Hello,

I would like to add something here. This community is an environment where Bitdefender users, enthusiasts and fans can engage, exchange ideas, support each other and share their knowledge and solutions. It is also a place of ideation and provides valuable feedback to the product development teams. The forum is filled with useful information, articles and guidelines, however, in the event a solution is not found in the community, usually more details are required for troubleshooting, such as logs coming from the affected devices and in some cases, remote interventions must be scheduled. This will help the engineers obtain a better understanding of the context and the circumstances involved. Such specific operations cannot be carried out on the public forum, thus it is recommended to contact the Bitdefender Support Teams, for a more detailed investigation in these scenarios.

There are indeed some limitations in the support we can provide here. On the forum, help comes from users such as yourself, some may be more experienced in the field, while others are just getting started. But together we can come up with solutions and workarounds and we do our best to share insightful information that would benefit all those who enter this community.

It's true that some questions may not find their answers here, but this doesn't mean that we shouldn't give recognition to our most active members. Some contribute almost everyday on their own time, trying to help fellow peers voluntarily. We encourage ideation and contribution and our goal is to further develop a knowledge base where users may find answers and guidance. We aim to create a true connection with our members. You are encouraged to participate and know that your opinion and input are respected and valued, regardless of your level of experience in the cybersecurity field. This is an essential component of an inclusive community and no matter if you give a solution or you are seeking one, you are welcome here and we will always value your participation.

Yes, it would be nice if everyone closed the loop and gave us feedback on each solution or suggestion we post, but that doesn't always happen and there are times when we don't really know if what we wrote helped the ones who reached out, because we don't always get a thumbs up/down or a follow up message. So it's difficult to quantify exactly how helpful we were in some cases..

Regards 🙂

Thank you @garioch7

Well, being featured in that leaderboard earns you a free 1-month extension of your antivirus, so you can call it a token of appreciation from us. Yes, I don't use names because it's best to tag the usernames that made it in the chart, this way everyone will be notified. 😁 Oh, and you will also notice the 'Defender of the month' title next to your username. Pretty cool, right? 😊

Speaking of validity extensions, I better start adding them 'cause it's Friday 😅

It's a pleasure having you here.

Have a great weekend!
