Firstly, not ALL n00bs post rubbish, just some. Yes, those quadrouple figures do attract some silly people to spamming up the forums with utter crap.

So, you're main goal as a Regular is to shout at innocent (or not so) Newbies because they make mistakes or even if they don't? You are incredibly sad. You are clearly "superior" to the Newbies? Pah! Notables are no better than Newbies in my eyes. Yes - it means they have put in that little bit more effort, but it dare means they are smatter or wiser than any newbie. I will agree to disagree that if a newbie posts a "wierd" topic, people label it with spam, but if a Notable does the same, it's suddenly gold dust. No offence intended, but Ant posted a seemingly pointless topic the other day and nobody took notice that it was spam, except moi, of course.

Please do not become a Regular! It will be the worst pain I ever have to suffer!
"Yep i know...was just saying how they helped me understand what not too do on here , and why people get annoyed at newbies etc (like me). I did speak in txt speak a bit when i first arrived but have learnt not too since then."
Considering the intelligence of people in our area of London/Essex, I think that you have matured quite quickly and I'm proud of you for winning that GAD! Well done mate!
And One Eyed Snake - don't quit your day job!

I'm a newbie...have been on for a few days , and i admit i posted some crap topics up when i first joined , regulars moaned , and i learnt not too do certain things , and i learnt more about the forums. The regulars and notables kinda helped me to understand what annoyed them and what not too do , them moaning about what i was doing helped me stoppit , and write bit better things.
But anyway arent you still a newbie...why are u writing about this ?
Im havent been on here long but the time i have been on has taught me what not too do, and to respect the people on here as they have been on here much longer than me and know much more. And few days ago was delighted to find i had won a Gad :). Still lots to learn though , and many more people to meet , just dont moan about all newbies becasue not all are bad , and dont just come on here to spam up the forums and post stupid topics in the chance of winning GAD...

I agree that Pocket Rocket, after being advised, carried on admittently ignoring advice. But that's an isolated case.
It's when all Newbies are classed as spammers that gets on my nerves.
As does classing all Notables as those who are the best posters on the forums (ha!)
And classing regulars as the experienced ones on here. Some are only regulars cos they spammed to much and have been here for more than the time it takes to become a regular.
