The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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

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.

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.

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?

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