Right, I've had enough!

All of you who are classified as newbie please shut up!

I will respect you a lot more if you post sensibly and have 'newbie' after your name, than if you post loads of crap and have 'regular' after your name.

Im sick to death already of people saying "How come im not a regular, i've been here 3 months" or what ever.

STOP IT!

I feel i speak for most of the FoG here, but if i don't, please speak up.

Something’s wrong with the SR clock thing.

I am posting this at *glances at watch* 9:55.

The purple things under everyone’s name.

If you are a NewComer to the SR boards do you think they will be slightly confused what a newbie/notable tag is?

It’s just an idea, but what about if you make the tag a link to see page where it gives the definition of the tags.
Just an idea…

What some people have to do is get rid of the idea that all newbies are a pain. Some actually post good gaming topics and often put up a good debate in other topics.

It’s just the minority that gives “newbies” a bad name. If you are a newbie, don’t worry about anything because I can guarantee you that people with a higher rank will not frown upon you just because you’re classed as a newbie.

Instead, many people will encourage you to post more gaming posts and help you with improving your grammar (if you need it that is)

Although I voted no, the tage are starting to grow on me.

Well done SR team.
