Any Newbie that comes in, does something in their thread or posts to help them stand out by using the different formats and you all throw the head up. I've seen quite a few newbies on here, that got flamed cause they didn't set their threads or posts out the way you wanted them to and due to that, you rarely see them post again.
Fair enough, I understand about the bright colours and how they can effect people with their epilepsy or some other kind of default in their vision but for the rest... why make such a big fuss over it??
And yes, I know you're against the text talk on here and I can see why - but theres no need to bite their heads off. Just explain to ones that aint aware of it and let it go.

But you will find some who doesn't go to introduce themselves - They come on to give or recieve advice - not to socialise or to be crictised about the way they post.
And flaming noobs is an internet tradition, one bloke isn't gonna change everyone's opinions i'm afraid. Nothing much you can do, just hope people don't take it too seriously :]

Aint part of the reason why this site was made was to help people not to argue over silly things like how you are suppose to present your post.
im confused
but i mean it about the new thread thing! the worse flaming is over threads that may show resembelence to a past one
just because this is the internet doesn't mean you can be all incoherent and hard to understand and get away with it.
It doesn't say that here: About Us
But I see your point.
Get away with what? You make it out as if it's a crime!
If you don't understand them, ask what they mean - don't flame them.
so if i jump around in front of you with a big banner that had something on it that really pissed you off you'd walk off without saying anything?!
ok, bad hypothetical situation but yeah
Bit of a difference - When someone is forcing something upon you - you push them out of the way - in this guess no one is making you read their posts if you don't like the way it is presented.. don't read it.
Bah - worst argument ever
You see a post that pisses you off for whatever reason - don't read it? You just did. Alas, the damage is already done.
:flirt:
hehe that made me laugh . I agree though; positive criticism is a good thing!
Get te fook
Get the fuck do you not mean and same to you, you pathetic newbie.
Get the fuck?
I meant get to fuck, and yes, i'm a newbie, you are my one, my only, my supreme being, my master of all and everything.
Let thyself worship thee at the checkered feet of my master's manly frame.
don't take it all so personally, those who flame will respect you a lot more if you just brush their flaming off at the end of the day you don't know anyone (well not that I know of), so don't let a bunch of pixels piss you off
i haven't read any replies to this thread ...
this happens ...it's like a roundabout ...some of us are so settled and comfortable in here that burping and farting in front of each other is just one of those things ...so when someone steps onto the roundabout ...having walked through the filthy kitchen ...fishheads on the floor ...same slobs in the same moods day after day ...we either don't notice you for a while or you do something and ...you'' get a chair by the bar soon ...

But they aint here all the time, they do have home life you know
As for your post, if Newbies continually do something that pisses people off then they things will be said, if they dont like it........tough shit !!!
Anyways whose pissed you off ?
Thank you, now fuck off.
If you post something on here you have to realise that it's an invitation for people to reply. Some people are over the top and too quick to flame but you have to be prepared for that and to be crictised - and if you can't handle that maybe you should think about whether you should be posting on a public forum at all. :rolleyes:
...and sometimes when people are arrogant enough to think that they don't have to make a little effort to 'fit in' TheSite community - they can expect to get grief.
i don't think i've ever been guilty of bshing newbies ...i'm still enjoying bashing everyone else ...
