I have a question for the regulars and notables how come you make fun of all the newbies round here, I've registered at least 4 times with SR and each time they seem to keep on forgetting who I am and that is why am I not a regular. I am a newbie, I accept it and nobody reads or cares what newbies say and most of the people who win GAD are either notables or regulars. How long does it take to become a regular and why do regulars not seem to read newbies posts also whats the difference you don't paid or anything its just a word under your name and also your names in a differnet colour than newbies. It kind of just says that you have stared at the computer screen longer than us thats all. By the way I've only been here 2days, so I am a newbie but I don't really care. So if anyone does actually read this do post your opinions and try to answer my questions regulars and notables.

I know what VenomByte is talking about, if I got abuse and handled it, so can the other newbies.

Consequently, most of those who do stick around have been through a torrent of abuse on their way to achieving regular status, and therefore like an abused child growing up to become a child abuser, they will in turn rant and moan at newbies.

It's a vicious circle, and one which is very bad for the forums at that.

The majority of new members to the site are idiots who can't type and don't know what they're talking about.
The abuse is like hazing, and only the decent newbies make it through to be a regular. Sometimes it doesn't work (See Top Score) but most of the time it does.
