I guess you guys hate newbies

[achilles]

I don't understand this. I am down to one point before being banned. I have gotten several nasty and rude emails as well as being scolded.

I'm sorry Chipper, Wheel, and SteelDS if I offended you. The board was dead last night and I was trying to stir conversation.

A friend recommended this board to me, but this is the most unfriendly board I've ever seen. I guess you guys can go ahead and take away my last point so that when the board owners come into work tommorrow morning they can go ahead and ban me.

I did get one friendly PM from someone and I really appreciate it. But frankly, the rest of you are pretty rude.

hey now we all aint that rude we just dont' agree with you on some of ur stand on particular topic that doesnt mean we dont like you

I suspect that the above emailers were attempting constructive criticism. Too much posting displaces earlier posts to the second and third page, and thus to obscurity.

I wouldn't sweat it too much. Just post quality instead of quantity and you'll find yourself more welcome than on any other board in the biz. Take my word for it.

Thanks traderumor for getting me banned. You've proved my point.

[wheels]

You're not banned.

You're at negative rep points, but you're not banned.

People are just trying to tell you to cool it on the bumping up of older threads for no real reason.

[captainmorgan07]

your right falls city beer that's the key to this thread

Now Chip is editing the word jerk out of my posts.. thanks Chip.. I want to make sure I post up to your lofty standards.

[wheels]

Oaky, so now it's time for everyone to post what everyone is saying to them when they are repped/negged.

That's great.

achilles, name calling will not be tolerated here. Consider this a warning. Next time you will be banned. I haven't banned anyone for a while so I got an itchy trigger finger.

[Falls City Beer]

Dude, look--take this for constructive criticism, then: just post responsibly, thoughtfully, or at the very least, humorously, and you'll have no problems.

[achilles]

But it's ok for you to call me Beavis. Ok. whatever man.

[achilles]

Thanks Falls city.. let me get that in while I can.

[achilles]

Is name calling allowed in PMs? I just got this from wheels:

Don't upset the "board leaders". They are always right.
