It's all very well telling newbies what to do, but I think something also needs to be said to some of the regulars.

When a newbie arrives, and they start a thread that has been discussed before, don't just say we've already done this! Read it. Everyones point of view is valid, they might have something new to add to the issue.

Don't immediatley jump on newbies for their spelling and grammar. If it's just lazines, fair enough, but not everyone can spell very well. Remember some people that use these forums may be quite young.

Attack netspeak by all means though!

Don't turn threads on the FOG (Prime) to idle banter, that's what this forums for.

Feel free to respond to this however you feel. Just because I have the 'mark of the notable' doesn't put me above these rules, so expect me to follow them too.

Meka i think this is a very good note you have made, I annoyed a few people today, and they were all regulars, thats because they started on me. I think you as a notable should pick up on people that dont follow these rules and warn tony and others. Also can you pplease make a forum for Rules For Newbies!

Thanks

p.s. I've also stopped net-talk and left it for the chat rooms

I agree with you Meka Dragon but one thing that annoys me is the way people whip newbies, when i was a newbie and i was talking on msn people (NOT MENTIONING NAMES) would just put when i would try to start a convorsation WN WN WN it is really annoying and gets you down.

I'll try not to Grix :0)

Try to add a story line to the story while i'm gone will you? I know it may be difficult, but someone has to do it....

I'll probably be popping on every now and again for a couple of weeks, but i won't be as regular as i used to be (no dodgy jokes please Goatboy :-)).

Hopefully i should be back properly in a month or so.

Oh, bye Your Honour... err... enjoy yourself.

(Just don't make an egotistic re-entrance like Ant did. It disgusted me.)

Goatboy, it's Cheese.

Anyhoo, i'm off now for a little while. I'm moving back home tomorrow, then off to Surrey a couple of weeks after that.

See everyone soon.

YH puts the cheesey log back in the fridge and gets out a protion of Armenian String which he attempts to insert into Goatboy.
