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've got a GBA and a few games. The essential purchase is definatly Tony Hawk PS2. Games like Mario advance are very good but i've completed the original and couldn't be bothered doin it again. THPS2 will last you a long time (if you don't cheat), buy it.

Yeah. I just posted a topic. It seemed really good as it was about RPGs. Yet I do seem the point in blocking some of them or switching it over to chat if they seem weird, y'know.
