re: Neoseeker Presidential Elections 2008

The site doesn't have a problem with members discriminating others because of how long they've been around. This "belittling" of members only occurs when people refuse to listen to others when they offer them advice and snap back like they're hot shit or something.

quote Tainted
While I agree with you in a sense Sphinx, I was thinking of all the members who are forced away by members who belittle the newbies because of their lack of experience or whatever. I know it isn't the greatest idea, but it's the first thing that came to my mind.

I should probably retract it, since Final Blade agrees.


It is only the idea that new members would be forced to stay there until "experienced" enough that I take exception to. I, for example am almost 21. I can type coherently, respond to threads intelligently and generally conduct myself fairly well. If I came to a forum and was told that I was not allowed to discuss a game that I wanted to, or ask a question because I had to pass some kind of quality control test, I would click back on my browser and find a different forum.

You can't let the irritating habits of a few newer members determine the way that all new members are treated, as the vast majority of new members are going to fit in just fine.

There would also be the whole issue with what to do about guests.

quote Final Blade
So by that logic you support old members being harsh and belittling Newbies right DP?

Sorry but i don't like the sounds of that, and i support the idea that Hawkeye stated.

Wow. I love how I said absolutly nothing along those lines. Try making sense next time. There is no need to baby anybody. Besides, the "harassment" you are talking about hardly ever happens. If morons flame new people, action should be taken against the flamers. Besides, people are considered "new" for about a year. Are we supposed to tuck new members away for an entire year? I think not.

re: Neoseeker Presidential Elections 2008

Wow i don't recall saying that either. My point was have a forum where the newbies can chat while have more mature mods looking after the place and make sure they get comfortable with a better atmosphere. Than having the way it is now, and going into a forum where theres members who lash out at the newbies for whatever reason. I've seen it so many times over the course of 6 months that this would be better.

Like i said if this was available when i first joined here, i wouldn't have had my pasts from the likes of Moonrise here, and many others who contributed to it.

re: Neoseeker Presidential Elections 2008

The criticism of the idea is pretty dumb. I don't exactly know what Tainted had in idea, but what Hawkeye was saying is that new members aren't forced to post there, but they have the option and can see the forum since it will be put in their favorite threads immediately. That would allow new members to still get the help from a forum for starters and still be able to post in the game forums and around Neo.

re: Neoseeker Presidential Elections 2008

I didn't "contribute" to your past; that was all your doing. Don't forget that you are the one that started any conflict between us because you couldn't accept the fact that you type as if English is your second or third language.

Yugio, there's no reason to physically create a new forum for that. The Site/Forums Help and QA forum already does exactly that. I'm all for making it a default in my.neoforum, but that's it.

You mean some sort of neo creche? Jesus, if someone insults you on the internet them insult them back or rise above it. Don't sit there moaning about how you need protection from such dispicable human beings.

And generally here "more mature" is translated to "more likely to treat their position like a job" in the moderator community.

re: Neoseeker Presidential Elections 2008

Really cause i know plenty of mods who aren't like that Shape.
Also Newbies don't know how to handle a place that they just signed up. Especially young ones.

Moonrise you did in fact contribute to it, anything less of admitting it is a lie.
People like you need to thinking its your right and job to pick apart people posts, that you deem ignorant.

The only thing i admit doing was arguing with people like you and supporting the PS3 in its early days a little too much. Other than that, it wasn't much on my end as much as the people PMing me and starting problems like you did with your Smoke account.

re: Neoseeker Presidential Elections 2008

That's how you learn, Final Blade. If no one told you how stupid some of the crap you say is, then you'd find nothing wrong with it and would continue to be a total moron for the rest of your life. Really, you will get absolutely nowhere in the real world if you can't even accept your issues and do something to fix them.

Listen, I didn't do shit to "contribute" to anything. All you needed to do was listen for a second and you wouldn't have to deal with people bothering you all the time when you make stupid posts.
