After numerous tries at good patches and still failing , I am listening to what you guys stated about my patches check it applies, grammar and build checks. I am still unable to get a good patch and would really appreciate it if someone walks me through one good patch as I will learn this will a tutor and the tutor can help be my router to the community for now in order to start helping me learn how to be involved correctly and follow the community rules. I am willing to work on my patches if someone is willing to do this for me and help me improve my taste in the communities mouth.
Pretty much everybody who's written you an email from these mailing lists in the last two months has been trying to help you in this way. You've consistently ignored (or at least not followed) the advice, which makes the people who gave it feel like it's not worth the effort. Therefore, as it stands, anyone considering helping you will probably think it's a complete waste of time.
Phrases such as you've used to date: "I must check things more carefully", "I'm willing to work on my patches", "I will learn this" are no longer good enough: You've used wording like this before, and failed to show that you've learned anything as a result.
So, unless you can explain in detail *why* you ignored all the previous advice, *and* you can explain in detail *how* you are modifying your behaviour and working practices so that you can learn from future advice, nobody is likely to want to help you.
Go back and read my mail from yesterday. Engage with it -- write your thoughts and explanations on a point-by-point basis. A single three-line response at the end of the mail is not sufficient. If you can't engage with that mail in detail, follow the advice I gave and seek formal assistance for your learning difficulties.
Hugo.
