You can't force moderators to answer your question quickly because the response time is tied to the number of requests ahead of you. Unfortunately, having a bit of patience is required as a customer at PM.

Honestly, I don't like undefined things. there are more queries then they need more workers. I am about to switch from them due to this. I have asked something yesterday and they replied immediately to validate me. I have done and still waiting...

Usually turnaround time is 48 - 72 hours. You can submit a ticket by clicking on the question mark on the bottom right.

Yes that is one of the biggest drawback with PM unfortunately. Hearing back shouldn't take as long as it sometimes does.

Since they have already responded and you have validated yourself, your assigned Moderator will get back to you soon.

Admitedly, I'm not aware of the circumstances behind your need for a moderaror's help. In many cases, that verification/validation step could have been skipped if it was done during the ticket openning process. The most common way to to do that is by using your self serve account credentials or by text messaging.

Moderators will get back to you when they can. All that can be asked of the customer is to provide the information needed to minimize the amount of back-and-forth communication needed.

What type service issues are you having?

Hi @tigranh , I'm glad to see that your question was responded to just now by a Moderator. For future requests, I recommend using the form via SIMon as those are prioritized above regular private messaging.

Just don't spam them with more messages, it just slows down the process for everyone.

Thanks for clarifying @Alan_K I had been wondering if there was a difference in getting a response between sumitting a ticket via SIMon or using the private message.

Yep! I mentioned it in one of my developer blogs, but I don't blame anyone if it slipped under the radar (they're quite lengthy and I know not everyone likes the nitty gritty stuff).

Basically, not only is it faster because you are authenticating upfront and cutting out a mandatory authentication message that Mods need to send to you, but from the backend, I have introduced rules that will bump anything coming from the forms ahead of regular private messaging 100% of the time. This is to encourage more usage of the forms and help our response times.

Hope that helps,

Alan

Yes I admit I haven't followed all of the posts from the developer's blog and may have forgotten some of the details too. But I do have another quesion, is the direct link to SIMon working without it going to the 403 error code now?

Re: How to force moderator team to answer messages quickly?

tigranh — Fri, 20 Sep 2019 18:27:05 GMT

Thanks for advice.

@dabr I've heard of this 403 error but have had a hard time getting examples to investigate. The form is definitely working for the majority of customers as we are getting a good number of tickets, but it seems to affect a handful of customers. My advice would be to clear cache + cookies, try a different browser, or try opening SIMon from a different webpage.

It would help me if I could gather what browser the customer was using and which page did he/she access the chatbot from.

You can also send a private message to the moderators with the following link.

From my experience (test) clicking directly on the SIMon ? bubble allows for the the ticket to proceed properly. However, I have in some earlier posts linked to SIMon: https://publicmobile.ca.ada.support/chat/ and had users responding about the getting the error. So I tried a couple times myself using that link and also ended up getting the error code. But I didn't clear cache or use another browser and I know that was one of the suggestions also offered by @GinYVR . From my end I have been using the Firefox browser.

@Alan_K , it could be a caching issue, but I have done testing where going to SIMon results in a private message directly to the moderator team. It doesn't seem to be repeatable though. This is with firefox. It is the reason why my macro includes SIMon and direct link to the smartform.

I am somewhat disappointed to hear that customers who write private messages directly without going through smartforms are being punished. These customers are not going to like experiencing huge delays and it will reflect back on the brand. What goes around will come around.

@will13am I have to agree with you about the policy of a different response time for customers who opt to private message vs SIMon. Until there is only one option for users to message the moderators there really shouldn't be any disadvantage for anyone from choosing the private messaging instead.

@dabr Direct links to ticket sumissions are still not dependable. Sometimes it's a 404 error. If PM ever dains to provide direct links I will be pleased to support such. Until then I think something like geopublic's image is the best option for providing directions to posters needing moderator support.

This entire thread is about how to get a faster response and much of it is also about discouraging sending a private mesaages in that manner.
