Ok, For noobs, regulars, the golden oldies and just arrived


I just wanted to say a little something.

I look around the forums of late and ALOT of new users are coming on the forums. Which is good - new generations and new people can be a great benefit for the SR community. New ideas, humour and aspects are introduced and I enjoy it.

But, We seem to have a conflict. Between old and new. The New users come on and as silly as it may seem they do not know of the SR world. How to act and post the way we do. They come in and use their txt language, make two sentence posts relating to nothing in block capitals. Obviously this will ennoy the regular users and they all join in group force abusing and generally being nasty singling these noobs out - or in some cases to retalliate and destroy it for the rest of us. Spamming the joint and getting themselves banned.

I just think - if some users when newer members start. If we just explained what we like and don't like so they are stopped in their tracks and eazed into the way we work gently things would run alot smoother for us, staff and the newer users. If we just cain immediatly and the same old thing happens, they spam wildly they'll get banned. If we maybe let them know first they wont do so. If they have been warned politely but are immature nerds which get there thrills from destroying everyone elses fun...they will be banned im sure by sir smuggly.

Come on guys. Im sure it will make it better for all of us?

Just a thought

Love ginge :)

Another words, just post a "sticky" topic that explains the rules and requirements of the forum so that newbies can click and see it.

awww, trust lil ginge to step in and induce a little maturity between us...

anyway - this is almost what i've been trying to say. Poeple forget that they were once newbies, and now that they're purple, they think they should be pampered with velvet of the same colour. did that just make sense? god knows, but my point still stands. I hear so many regulars go "newbies spam the forums and talk crap". Well, did they think they were spamming and talking crap when THEY joined? of course not. everyone's different. Some are just like any of us, but in a different dress - brown. some are obviously intending on acting moronic, and so on.

i just can't be bothered to argue anymore.
