A much better idea is not letting anyone start new threads for six months or not even post for 90 days. Read, learn, drink it in. Then ease in.

 

It is always the guys who come out guns blazin' who have problems. If you get invited to a block party and show up drunk, pop three Viagra and try to bone the neighbors daughter, do you think you are going to be well liked?

 

Are vets dooshers sometimes? Absolutely. But coming in and making yourself at home without getting the lay of the land is just as rude. Take responsibility for your actions, n00bs.

 

Unlike the participation trophy in little league softball, you have to earn it here.

Life sucks. Earn it.

I want to go on record as saying that I've been here for 10 years and there has never, ever been a bigger batch of whiny noobs as there has been in the last year. :cry:

 

 

And I've been here 2 years and there's never ever been a bigger batch of old-time DBs as there has been in the last 10 years

 

You should have been here around 8 years ago. This place was brutal.

It's a cake walk around here now. You really have no idea how subdued it is now.

 

 

This really is a much gentler place than it was several years ago, yet the butthurt has never been stronger.

 

It's the new euphoric sense of entitlement. Today's noobs wouldn't have lasted 3 posts five to ten years ago.

This place was vicious with noobs.

Hell, even I felt sorry for them.

I know that's the way it is. Still don't like it. So just like you speak your mind, so do I. Maybe one day I'll let it go, accept it, whatev...but that day ain't today!

Not true. New members who simply ASK A QUESTION get blasted. You're twisting reality to justify your actions

 

Most of the time they get made fun of, get told to use the search function and have to read tree-fiddy about ten times.

It's not the asking of the questions. It's the content. You know ask a stupid question get the old DB smart arse answer.

Heck, no starting threads for a week would probably do the trick.

Nope. Wrong too. Content is fine most of the time. It's an extremely low tipping point. Just admit it - you'll feel better!

What is wrong with a time frame for acclimating n00bs? One month before starting threads.

I was answering the other dude.

 

But Sean, my plan allows for fellow collectors to actually GET ANSWERS to their questions when they want answers. Yours shuts that down. C'mon Sean, my plan really is pretty good isn't it? And you'd never EVER have to go into that "noob" forum!

Because that doesn't get you an immediate audience to blather on about the bad ebay deals or retirement fund strategies that your wife isn't interested in.

N00bs shouldn't be allowed to post ideas on how to change this forum for 5 years.
