The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
I hate to bring this up again but, like MJswerve said "Newbies need a second chance" some of your attitudes towards certain newbies and in some cases even regualrs, it's just horrific. Like for instants if a newbie posts a topic to try and win GAD you always manage to find something wrong with the topic like spellling mistakes and things like that then you let 'em have it.
Or if someone posted a review in the topics forums because they couldn't find it anywhare in the database you do the same thing. Even spammers have to have a second chance. I admit I was a spammer when I first joined and I regret it, but I was given a second chance by two certain members of this site you could say they were my role models. and I learned that if I posted completely useles topics they would get ingored and if I osted good topics I got some decent replies.
That's the way you need to treat spammers not by being horrible or unfair. If you ingore them they might come up with something decent if they learn the way I did.
Some poeple may even be special needs so how do you think they feel when you are mean to them.
So what I'm saying is stop this attitude you have towards newbies and spammers and give them a second chance.

People learn by either receiving priase or punishment.
You do something stupid, you get punsihed. You do something good, you get praised.
Simple.

yes the punishment being getting ingored. Not by nasty remarks.

But then if they are ignored, they post even more to try and get some attention.
It's best to tell them straight, then they know and can change.
You did it, why can't others?

Things like reviews I can accept, Even though they should go in the reviews section, it's not always possible.
I more or less reviewed Burnout in the PS2 forum yesterday, but there were two reasons for that. The first was that someone actually asked about the game, and the second was that I couldn't fit all that I wanted to say in the 4000 character limit imposed on reviews. Sure I could shorten it, but then I wouldn't be able to give enough detail to make it worthwhile.
As for the rest of it... I'll always give Newbies a chance; I only snap if they keep posting crap or spam.
There have been some very good Newbies recently - sadly they seem to go unnoticed. As with the news on TV, it's only the bad stuff that really gets noticed.

Like Who?
I agree that some Newbies fill the site up with crap but so do some of the regulars. So if we all get together so we can stop the people that post rubbish and this site would be a lot better.

Well I'm just here to talk about games not make fun of anyone or get made fun of. I don't care if you make fun of me I can take it and if you guys don't like what I have to say then just don't look at it. Same goes for the people who think video games cause violence, they are wrong video games help release violence in a good productive way like stealing a car and cramming it into a police head quarters and blowing it up.
Man you gotta love that game (GTA3)

I personally haven't had any problems as a newbie, but I think that there is to much emphasis on number of posts and peolpes stats.
I come here quite regular like, but I'll only post when I think I have something worth saying, I notice there aer others that post, as it would seem just for the hell of it, and to bump up there stats.
Generally I find most I have good interesting comments to make, some of the debates being my favs.

Think of it from a readers point of view.
They see a certain newbie posting something stupid.
Are they going want to spend their time reading thi newbies spam, or are they going to search elsewhere for interesting discussion.
If newbies do some thing stupid then they have to earn respect. If they post something good then they get respect for it.
Being ignored is not a deliberate punishment, it's just if you lose a readers trust, do they want to waste more time on your posts?
