Re: General reason why members - including myself - have been acting like an ass:

I guess you can say that is the reason you see so many new members posting nonsence, racist, and hate threads towards the website and towards the members who treated them like trash.

Examples would be lovely.

I think KgZ said it best when he stated "If you don't like how the community is run, leave."

I started posting on the forums in the days of VxDx. Comparitively, everyone else's newbdom was a bed of roses.

Matt: this thread sounds to me like nothing more than a rambling about your inability to cope with some newb bashing that went on years ago.

We get that newbies get picked on occasionally. We do what we can to stop it, but it'll happen. If the aim of this thread is to just point that out, well, it's already been done 94375495487 times before.

I'm searching for a reason to keep this unlocked, but am coming up short.

There are a few people I wouldn't mind see fall off the earth, but I don't make threads about it so I can bitch and complain. I ignore people that act like asses, UNLESS it directly involves me.

So....you just want sympathy mirite? Well too bad, if you can't handle a few flames, then you don't deserve to be on the internet.

Re: General reason why members - including myself - have been acting like an ass:

Dude, I've been a member of atleast 5 different forums, including FFR. I had a bad start on each one, and I only left because the sites went down or just lacked quality, not because I got a few beginner's flames.

Re: General reason why members - including myself - have been acting like an ass:

I really don't think it's right to make fun of noobs. Especially since they don't know any better. If a noob posts what I think is a stupid question, Il'l try to help them. If you just flame them, they will never learn. Just be like "Yeah heres your answer, but next time make sure you read the stickies".

I might feel like telling you to move on or something, but since you pretended to be someone else, i won't waste my time.
