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......

You have to say though is it really that bad of a problem? Yes, alot of people take these forums seriously and should as there a great place, but many are starting to turn the colour of there names into very big problem.
If you were newbie who came here, posted some good stuff, but then got abused by a regular, you should just show you were mature enough to ignore that and keep working to become a regular.

Why was it used to start with then Edgy? It is just a small case of discrimination if you want to put it in a serious manner. Ok so it's only reading posts, and I suppose actually it's prejudice. Because of there tag saying 'Newbie' makes them a worse person then a 'Regular'.
I don't care what the difference is but I think it would have been better if they never got it. Then no one would be better then the next and we'd be living in a communist world.

I knew this was going to happen as soon as the system was first used on here.
No one listened though, did they?

Yes I'll have to agree with you on that one. The title will intrest people if I set up a thread saying 'Fiddlesticks' it isn't going to attract many people although your curiosity might make it so you must enter. As for the names, I read everything that happens on FOG whether it be by FFF or Ant, I ain't bothered as long as there is something to comment on and it isn't complete SPAM.

I thought that this topic meant the forum had been classified by some sort of governing body, and that each forum was now graded or something!
