Arch/Mods - I propose a forum specifically for new members. I think that as soon as a new member signs up, he/she gets a message saying it is recommended that new members post only in the New Member forum (say, for 6 months).

 

You see, we go through this caustic cycle ad infinitum: new member commits the heinous crime of asking a question that has been asked before, older members pounce on him/her for their unconscionable laziness and startling idiocy, new member - shocked and aghast at being attacked for (GASP!) asking for help - swings back at the blood-thirsty gang that is seeking revenge for unsettled injuries inflicted long ago, the mob sets on the new member like vultures at a carcass. Repeat.

 

So...can we start a New Member forum area? It would help. I know it would.

I think we have a case of latent butthurt here, surfacing only after an unknown gestation period

How about we just be civil to one another and try to remember what it was like to be new ?

 

I like this.

 

It's the way I try to treat noobs.

 

noobs rhymes with boobs, perhaps we could find a name for new people that rhymes with something more palatable hm

 

More palatable that boobs? OMG, does such a thing exist?
