Hi,

If you want to learn programming language (c, c++, python), testing related technology and earn money by reporting bugs

Book any service in topmate - https://topmate.io/don’twantrevealwhothisisyetuntiliknowifthisrightorwrong

Session price will be negotiable

Thanks"

You can report poor mentoring sessions and block mentors when you end discussions. You can always end a mentoring discussion, block the mentor and request a new mentoring session.

@iHiD for the “allowed” bits :slight_smile:

Hey. Sorry you’re having this experience. People shouldn’t be self-promoting unless I’ve OK’d it (which is very rare!)

Which track/exercise this is please? Which that info I can read the conversation in the database and go from there.

Thanks.

How do you block a mentor? i haven’t been able to find this option.
Thank you

I believe when you end a discussion, you can rate the mentor poorly which gives you the option to block the mentor.

Oh, i’ve already passed that stage, i think i gave a neutral response, maybe that’s why i didn’t see the option.
Is there no way to block them now? do i have to wait to get them again and then rate them poorly?

I think so? Out of curiosity, why the neutral response if you feel negatively enough to want to block them?

There is asking here, of course, but also on the bottom of the page:

And @iHiD or @ErikSchierboom have now been pinged to this message, and can direct you more directly as well.
