Over the past few months that i have been here i have noticed this.
Newbies-just a little bit on the side to toy with.
Regular-Newbies listen to us or we will toy with you.
Notable-We rule lick our feet
Tony-You talkin' to me.

Apart from the classification of these people above there are others. Everyone is classified, if you see ant has replied to a post and it is on the top of the board you reply, if it is me you look at it and think i'll have a look later. Maybe because they are Notables but nevertheless. The regulars are there own little community, with lots of suffiecient people who get the job done and the people who come on 3-4 times a week who are treated like a newbie. I am not saying that newbies are inferior or anything like that but the tags don't show what they meen and i am getting woried that we won't be classified by this way properly ever again as the system isn't being monitered enough.

There are Regulars who have feuds with Newbies, there are newbies who try to hold out there own battles and do this until they are regulars(spamming). I don't know if anyone else has noticed this but I have......

The regulars don't diss for the sake of it.

Sometime they're a little intolerant with people who aren't experienced in writing but they only normally complain if you do something irrelavent or spam.

I agree, although some newbies do mess up this "clean" image. To be honest, I think the only reason newbies are given a hard time is becasue of this - after all, most of the troublemakers (okay, all) usually don't stay on the forums for more than 2 minutes.

I dont like this classification thing, when you first arrive you have regulars giving you a hard time! Even if you post something that is relivent (new topic or not) if you are a 'newbie' you quite often get a regular changing the subject into an argument abbout them being right about something else unrelated! Because a regular has bbut a negitive comment on the forum, less people are willing to post so it sinks to the bottom! And because Im a 'newbie' Im being told to stop 'spaming', Im not spaming to put my stats up aat all, I really couldnt care less about the stats! All I want to do is use the forums for wot they are subposed to be used for. Just because I post on different topics doesnt mean Im spamming, aren't I allowed to have a view/intrest on many different topics!
I think the system is very unfair to new comers, and even puuts some of them off!

He is at the top for words.

And also why:

They judge on posts instead.
