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.

No I doubt they'll pay any attention to li'l' ol' me.

Look, I wasn't referring to everyone, hence the word 'some'. There are a select few out there who won't listen.

I am sorry if I offended you, it wasn't my intention.

Ignorant I can accept... but they clearly aren't bone idle as they've typed enough to become regulars... more than you, in fact! ;-)

Meka Dragon, I must say, that your post is well put. But I am curious, do you really think the a lot of the regulars will listen, as some of them can be ignorant and bone idle.

No, I refuse to be hostile to Newbies.

Except for Guru but come on...who didn't want to grab handfuls of his hair and drive their knee into his forehead?

Exactly.

No, I take Newbies under my flank, show them the way, talk to them about porno movies and we both walk away with a DVD.

The Goat-way is the only way.

hehehe

We need an elite team of Newbie Stomper's, I reckon. :-)

My size 12's should make me a valuable asset to the squad.

Goaty can be squad leader.
