Guest ACTOR Posted August 23, 2000 Share Posted August 23, 2000 Hey Shatter, just what are you waiting for? Most of the folks here are pretty cool. We were all newbies at one point. Come ahead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Von Brizee Posted August 23, 2000 Share Posted August 23, 2000 What bugs me is when people complain about newbie questions, and spend more time telling them to Search for the answer than just telling him the damn thing. When someone asks "IS THERE A CM2?" or something liek that, just give him a generic response. CM2 will be the Eastern Front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Shatter50 Posted August 23, 2000 Share Posted August 23, 2000 Everytime I post something or ask a question I am basically called stupid by a few of the members and told to use search newbie. This Gestapo guy is the worst of them. Besides the search is bull it is like viewing a bunch mindless nonsense I prefer feed back from the members. Not some member saying garbage about newbies and use the search. I am not refering to the entire member group as a whole. Sorry if I offended anyone it wasn't intended for.

Hamstersss Posted August 23, 2000 Share Posted August 23, 2000 Shut up, stupid. Oh, and please use the search function to look up the number of times you've been called stupid so people don't have to waste their time doing so in the future.

The alleged abuse of newbies has not been much of a problem here, but provides endless fuel for those seeking responses. When I was a newbie, I made stupid suggestions that any ignoramus could see would have been made 1000 times before. Now I try to make really new stupid suggestions, which is harder than it looks (sure, I make it look easy). Mostly I just play the game, anymore. Representing idiots since 1999 (Idiot-California).

Guest KwazyDog Posted August 23, 2000 Share Posted August 23, 2000 Shatter, I agree there are a few people whom need to chill out a little, I mean if you havnt anything nice to say, why bother to say anything at all. I think its a case of at least trying the search eninge now you know its there and if you cant make sense of it just ask and bear with the responses from those whom would rather not help (personally I cant really understand the need to type a response if your not interested in helping, hehe). I think a few out there are a little weary of the 'Ive been playing the demo and I want this changed becuase I know best' sort of mentality that pops up from time to time so thus have become a little intolerent. There are a lot of nice guys here whom are more than will to help though, so hang in there .

Hamstersss Posted August 23, 2000 Share Posted August 23, 2000 I think, in all fairness, it was pretty obvious I was just having fun. If you look at his first post, you can see what set me off. I mean, kiddie pornographers because someone told him to use the search engine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KwazyDog Posted August 23, 2000 Share Posted August 23, 2000 Meeks, I wasnt refering to you to be honest, just to a few posts Ive noticed in the past. To be honest I think the 'kiddie pornographers' comment was in rather poor taste too and was totally unnecessary, but thats a personal point of view that dosnt belong on this forum (along with such comments as those I guess).

guachi Posted August 23, 2000 Share Posted August 23, 2000 The problem is newbies who come in and obviously haven't read ANYTHING before posting. If they would take the time to read a couple days worth of messages they would likely get most of their questions answered without even asking them in the first place. If you don't feel it is worth your time to try and find the answer on your own, I see no reason to spend my time answering your question. Given that there are over 90,000 messages, shouldn't newbies think it likely that somewhere, sometime ther question wsa asked and answered already? Or perhaps newbies could come in and write. "I'm new here and really like CM. I have a few questions and was wondering if there is a FAQ?" Answer: Yes, although it is kind of in a rough state right now. It DOES answer the question of what CM2, CM3, CM4, etc. will be about. ALL newbies should spend at a minimum a few days and preferably a week getting the feel of a new board before posting.

It was totally and completely bleedin' obvious. In fact you could have not made it more obvious unless you inserted some javascript so that a hand grasping a damp trout emerged from the moniter and smacked the reader around as they read your post. Several disabled smilies tried to enter this post but I cunningly failed to build a wheelchair ramp to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big Time Software Posted August 23, 2000 Share Posted August 23, 2000 OK, I'm closing this one up. Although I agree with Jason (i.e. assume it has been answered if it is basic or broad based) people should just not post a response instead of insulting. Or at least keep it to a gentle reminder that there is a Search feature and it does (generally) work. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
