No seriously now.
Yes i know i am new to this site so please do not criticise me because of it ok.
I have had a similar thread on Bombsquadgolf.com some time ago.
Like i said on there: Unless i can contribute to the topic i dont make a reply.
I mean..most things i want to know can be found by making a simple search.
Second: YES new members must pay their respects to the "older"members in that they should not start fights out of nothing and act like a bunch of arrogant *****.
At the same time the older members should know to have some patience with certain new members

I for one think that especialy on a forum like this you ought to act as a gentleman and be respectfull to each other. The members i have talked to know that i am polite and show my respect, and if i do say something that does not go well with everyone than most will know that it was not meant that way.

We are this community and only together we can make this work.

Just my €0.02 ...... Now lets continue the ranting!!!

My compliments for your wise words dear sir! Honestly I think the underlying premise of this thread is rather facile and intellectually shoddy. There's no evidence anecdotal or otherwise that newer members are more or less polite/respectful/whatever than anyone else on this forum. A few random quotes does not an argument make. Furthermore I actually noticed far more incivility amongst many of the senior members on this forum. Also, a person should not be judged solely by their number of postings. Perhaps a smaller number of postings could be construed as having a more vibrant life in the real world.

Actually, it was the smart idea to put PMs as a sub-sub category under "Super control" where no one could find it that killed Superfuture. The search function has also become impossible to locate. VBulletin is fairly well designed. Why they decided to mess around with that part of the site, I have no insight on. The rest of the site could have been redesigned, and they could have left the interface for Supertalk pretty much intact, and everything would probably have been hunky dory. Instead, they now have Super-Vista. Congratulations.

I don't know who you are, but if half the people on the planet thought more like you the world would be a better place. ~ H

Maybe, just maybe NOOBs first 100 posts should be confined to just one area for the first 100 posts - the introduction thread or some FAQ/Noob control area or just DT??

I mean lets face it, the majority of their 100 first posts ARE dumb posts.

nah, a lot of new guys show up with urgent legitimate questions. Every year around prom time there is a newb surge for example. Now sure, you can make a point that the correct answer is "search function", but really this sort of stuff is the lifeblood of boards like this. A lot of those guys stick around and become Respected Members, most fall by the wayside....but at the same time, they have real questions for the board, and discussion follows from this.
