... Why do everyone who is Regular and above seem to hate Newbies??

And before you say because of posts like this dont. I am doing this to get straight answers. I do not like a few because they post useless rubbish and they seem to spam like crazy.


this does not include Staffies

I (persoanlly) don't hate all Newbies, it's just an increasing amount seem to type like they just came off MSN with words like 'Whatz appinen omies' and post loads of posts about 'Hi I'm back'

Many Newbies are hated because they want to become Regulars - for less abuse - and so post more (spam)...it's a vicious cycle.

If more Newbies actually used punctuation and posted poroperly - not just spam - there'd be much less abuse

From me anyway....

I have not received a proper welcome. I demand one from the King Notable. The only welcome I got was from Truth or Tanoy or whomever. In all honesty, his words were more civil than what I've received from anyone else.

I haven't set out to offend anyone. I don't post stupid stuff. I use grammatically correct form. I'm just hated because I'm a Newbie. *sobs*

And, I give a rats...right.

I'm here to stay, figure what I need to do to win GameDay (because there is no one around who cares enough to explain this grandeur event), and profess my undying love for Grixy. Well, two out of the three atleast.

Yeah

Sorry just had to. The mainly quote loads of words to boost their word count and then become a regular quickly.

It's like FFF said most of the retards come in newbie form. but alot are banned for being flids or leave due to the abuse they get for being so stupid.

I personally only get annouyed at members 'newbie' or 'regular' when they spam alot, sure one or two spam posts are bound to happen but when people are just being plan stupid by asking someone to explain something that is obvious, or by asking about something that they could just as easily google and get a better answer with out the abuse.

Spam threads are very likely in general chat but before posting people should think 'What sort of response am i going to get for this?'.

People might say 'why should i have to think about it?' it's up to the member if they fancey a bashing for a stupid thread.


Just my views remember

Two things annoy me about Newbies. The first being their choice of thread to create. As soon as they come on, a "whats da best console" appears. Would it really hurt to do a bit of background research before posting that oh so un-original topic?

The second thing being their lack of grammatical ability. There are a few exceptions but it seems to me that the majority of newbies have a very poor grasp of the English language, or maybe they just choose to use the moronic and unnecessary text language.
