"Attitude towards newbies"

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.

well I haven't seen you much so it's to early to judge you.
wait till you've been a newbie for a while then we'll find out.

What category do I fall in I think that I have been very open minded about the whole thing and have come up with some pretty good topics. Although I did go a little to far on the Metal Gear Solid 2 details.

you mean they acussed you of being me?

They must've been pretty paranoid back then.

I regret being what I was but as I said and will say again poeple can change if they put thier minds to it! I did, it paid of as well.

From not having any respect at all to having most of the members respecting me that's quite an achievement and I am proud of it.

Damn Dirty Hippie, you'll learn not to mess with me and my bagpipes.............

:D

See now I just made fun of bonus and there was no call for it.

It was a sarcastic joke..........

I remember how I was treated when I arrived, they all accused me of being a guy called Cheatguru, I just laughed right back at them though.

But I've changed a lot since then haven't I.?

I only post one or two topics a day now. and they are usually decent or half decent.

True I still post some usless topics now and again but, nobody's perfect.

Besides i'm sure we all post usless topics now and again.

That's what I am saying they need to know but they don't need to be made fun of. Maybe I'm just being to serious about this maybe they should be burned at the stake.
