If you are talking about that woman who sold on computer equipment before paying for it, then she didnt commit online suicide, thats impossible, she left a trail hinting that she had jumped of a cliff and was washed away.

I'm a newbie, and i will be for a while to come yet. I dont want to write a loada rubbish up just so i can be a regular so no one moans at me. When i first arrived i posted few stupid topics which had done before, but i got moaned at a bit, so since then i haven't posted anything up (except 2 posts in Pc forum when i needed help) But i think i'll just continue to reply to the posts which i choose and then over time i will learn what makes a good post etc so then when im a regular i actually post some decent posts up.
I think that way of not writing much up and reading topics mostly is better, because then you learn about the forums and will have more of an idea later when you become a regular. Some people think they can arrive, spam to become a regular then automatically get some respect . But isn't posting better stuff up after reading a load of topics a better way to get respect and make freinds than just becoming a regular ?
Does any one agree that it's better to have an idea of what's a good post and whats not, and write some decent posts, rather than just havin a purple name ?

I didn't whine, I didn't say anything, I just listened ;) I don't see why a Newbie would be ridiculed if he was good enough, unless some of the Regulars or Notable either thought he was annoying or something, or were just fed-up and wanted to poke fun at him.

When did the stereotype suddenly appear that when you are a newbie, everybody complains about you? When I was one, and it wasn't long ago, nobody complained to me about posting newbie trash etc, if I wrote genuinely crappy stuff, they would tell me. This was fair enough, because crap posts of any king should be condemned. However, no-one does, or should, complain about newbies posts, only if they are terrible and desreve the hate-relies that they deserve. If their was a newbie who did entierly good posts and threads, he would be praised by regulares and notables alike.
In short, stop complaining that you are geting treated unfairly (to the newbies), and stop whinging to them if they do a bad posts, they are still learning (to the regulars).
