The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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.
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.

Not all newbies are treated badly, once you have earned respect of the others. I have no problem with how Im treated by the other forum users. As long as you don’t spam or do anything to put any others down you will be fine. As for spellings on these forums, some of them are bad. I have dyslexia (why do they make that such a hard word to spell) but my spelling isn’t as bad as some on these forums. Newbies shouldn’t be treated so bad by some, just because they didn’t like other newbies. But also some of the newbies need to learn how these forums are supposed to work! So a little work is required by both parties (not everyone does it)!

Unfortunately to some of them, nothing!
