"Ron or not"

RON a ron would be a ruler of newbies who gives them info and is nice to them. The ron would have to be a regular and as their status they would be known as ruler of newbies.

I think spider would be perfect for the job.

Exactly. Besides, we dont need a RON anyway. It would make the guy who is the RON feel big headed and embasked with power. And then we will rebel, and behead you.

I think it would be a good idea as the RON would be someone to point the Newbie in the right direction, to tell them what to do and what not, to get them ready for being a Regular. Also i think it would stop prodding. Also i'd make Newbie rules up before as this would really help.

:)

P.S. Did you know theres rules for regular, there very well done by Meka_Drago, you'll have to scroll down quite a bit though or maybe on the next page.

I don't think this is a good idea as it would just emphasise the 'gap' between newbies and regulars. I reckon it's fine as it is, the system works;

Then the weaker newbies go somewhere else whilst the others stay on and begin to understand the forums more.

I dont think Tony would agree. Although its a good idea, it doesn't really have that much point. Nothing will benefit from it. And even though you have a unique stat, it will get boring, and you will gradularly forget about being the guy newbies look up to (and newbies dont really need one of them anyway).

I think this is a great idea but there should be an election as giving just to me would be unfair.
