N00bs: They are so annoying!

[Singergirl0911]

I don't mean to be mean but seriously noobs don't read the rules and they cause a fights between the people who know the rules and who don't. You'd hope that they would read the rules but they don't. And then when you correct them, they talk back because they think your being rude. I HATE NOOB'S! What are your opinions?

There's a difference between different newbies. There are newbs, who are just ignorant of how to use forums; once they're gently corrected and placed on the right road, they can become useful forum members. Then there are noobs, who act like you said. Newbs I don't mind, noobs are irritating.

As a 'newbie" to the forums I OBJECT!!! Hehe. Nah, I must say I lurked the forums as a guest for awhile today and read up on quite alot. I'm pretty paranoid with what people think of me so I do tend to read things before I make a comment on something =)

But, I do however understand where you're coming from. I've been to another forum and having new people come there and post silly things that are only repeated questions or comments.

I mean....

Polkasaur, you have a point. Thank-you for reading the rules. The newbie's I'm talking about are the noobs. My bad. I didn't know the correct term for them and like Miranda_ said. Not all newbie's cause problems. You, for insantance, probably won't cause too many problems because you have read the rules and know what is ok and not ok. Thank you, again. I didn't mean that all newbie's cause problems, but at least half do.

Well ive been on TDP forums long before most people that have like a TRILLION more posts then me. But they call me a newb. So, New members with a lot of posts are the real newbs. Not people with less posts. So I think newbies are just fine. Well....most of them...if you know what i mean..... *Smirk*

I hate noobs, but newbies can be okay. If they READ THE RULES.

I abandoned my old account. It had like..what...700 posts on it? And I've been on this bored for quit a while. Not sure how long, really.

This is all I say some can be a biggo pain in the butt. I agree with Hayleydoll though if they read the rules they are ok!

Polkasaur, I believe I am about to worship you. Then again, there are plenty of members on here who started out the same way. Heck, I remember when Miranda was a little lurker that refused to join and posted as a guest all the time Man, I sound like a grandmother or something.

Anyways, being one of the oldest forum members here(yes, I know, I'm like a forum fossil), I've seen my share of noobs and must say the current ones are not as bad as the older ones when the forum was less organized and the moderators were basically dead. Then we frequently had bots, trolls, plenty of obscene posts being put up all the time. Now its only the occassional rude member who we all despise(which I can relate to right now because I'm completely infuriated with one right now).
