Last night I went on a rampage on the fog, attacking some newbies because I expected more from their writings, a few minutes later, I flipped the coin, and started to help one newbie how to write decent topics.

So here is my suggestion.

In the period of time that a person is a newbie, this person is expected to LEARN how to write correctly, to make interesting topics, and not to bore us to death with console wars topics.

However. Once this person reaches the regular status, if they still continue to make useless topics and bad posts, I have nothing against attacking them. We should not expect newbies to learn so quickly, but we should not expect regulars to get away with rubbish topics.

I am, including notables in when I say regulars.

I would also like to suggest that anyone who does attack newbies instead of helping them from now on is banned from the forums. Yes, this goes for everyone too.

So, all in all:

Newbies shall be helped to reach the correct path of writing, by giving them constructive critism, and trying to help them become better writers.

Only when they reach regular status will they be expected to make good topics. THIS GOES FOR ALL REGULARS/NOTABLES WHO ARE ALREADY SO AS WELL.

If regulars/notables are found to be bullying newbies they shall be banned.

I hope that these rules can be enforced. If you believe these rules should be enforced, please state so below. If not, state, and give reasons.

I don't like the sound of not being able to insult newbies, but if everyone else can conform I suppose I can too.

*mumble mumble only an idea mumble mumble* :D

Points raised:

Game thinks that if I can enforce laws, then all notables will start behaving like they own the place. I'm only suggesting laws that could and have been discussed by the group, and the general outcome is no, which I'm fine with.

Tarrant suggests not banning but rules to stop people from typing in net speak, I think this is a good idea.

I think Ant said something about me not being boring but I didn't read all of it. Thanks anyway. :0)

Grix doesn't bore you. Nothing of his is boring.

Unless it's a witty insult. I don't like those at all, becuase he directs them at me sometimes.
