> sir does this make sense:

Referring to the whole of a community as “sir” is not only too formal,
it also betrays a different error: you seem to think you're in a
one-on-one dialogue devoted to your issues.

Please, instead of trying to make your messages more polite (your
phrasing is already plenty polite enough), do us the respect of spending
time on the *content* of your message.

As has been asked of you many times now: When you have a question,
please make it specific and answerable.

Describe what *specifically* is confusing or concerning you; describe
*specifically* what you did, what you expected to happen, and what
happened instead.

Putting effort into making your messages easiler to comprehend will be
far more polite than merely calling us collectively “sir”. It will have
the added benefit of getting you more useful answers.
