The Ask for help button opens the form: what the job is, how someone can help, and how many points you are offering.
Specific wording gets taken up: "watch the kids for two hours on Saturday afternoon" beats "need help".

The points come out of your own love points, so you can only offer what you hold. That rule is what keeps the number on the honour board meaning anything.
Anyone can take a job, and several people can take the same one. When it is done, the person who asked confirms it — only then do the points move.
The asker is also the one who presses Mark as finished or Cancel it. A helper cannot award themselves points.
Each request has its own thread — what time, which address, who brings what. Tidier than private messages where everyone forgets what was agreed.
Stuck on anything, however small, just write. Nothing is a silly question the first time you use something.
Calling during Vietnamese office hours is quickest; outside those hours write instead and you will hear back the next working day.
For a bug, please say: which page you were on, what you clicked when it broke, and whether you are on a computer or a phone. A screenshot helps. Never send your password — we will never ask for it.
