"Newbies...seriously"

For some reason, why is it, that the majority of newbies on this site are retards?

I swear to god, I bet not one of them has any realistic amount of intelligence between them.

IDEA FOR SR: Have 1 week were they are not allowed on the site; just see how that one works out.

Nope, but anyway, i think that the newbie forum idea is good, mainly vause i suggested it, also i agree with pb, the newbies are getting treated badly. Someone should post a topic to tell them the rules.

About the colour of peoples names, on my page, all of the names are blue, some are slightly darker, and the banned peoples names are black. I realise I must have changed something somewhere, but I'm not sure where.

They all used to be the right colours, newbie red, regular purple, notable gold, but now its odd. Any ideas how to change it back?

Explain to me how criticism and insulting can be a much better solution, and I'll believe you.

After all I've said, I've now changed my opinion.

There should be a "Retard retardent" level, where if you go below spasdicated, you aren't allowed to type for a few days.

This would certainly eliminate most newbies, some regulars, and a certain notable who I think we all know I'm on about.

Now...take everything I say with a pinch of salt; I'm drunk. Sorry Miss.

That will confuse the little newbies, *looks at colour of name*.... *walks off*

Hmm, ythey should (yeah, it's been suggested before) n00b forum, where you post the first 100 there, then you can move to FOG chat as well, then after 200, you can go to the others (minus FOG prime) at the 300, you are evaluated by the regualars in ONE CERTAIN forum, if the number of SURE he can votes is equal to or more than the NO HE CAN'T votes, then he becomes regualar, oh, and it should be a proper Poll, which is automatically created at the 300th post, he stays a n00b until the YES he can votes, are more than the NO HE CAN'T votes at midnight of the day. Yes, I'm talking crap now.

As is Top Score.
