I wholeheartedly agree that not every noob should be dissed and not all of them do get that treatment. We've had a stack of quality new members in the time I've been here but just lately we seem to be going through yet another of those phases where some proper tools are signing up who have absolutely no intention of hanging around or contributing once they've got the information they require. Sometimes that is very apparent from their very first post. I don't know how but there has to be a way to discourage the knobbers who've just watched The Firm and gone out and spunked £££'s on some fake Forest Hills without doing their homework from joining up. If I had it my way the forum would be locked off and you'd have to apply and pass some competency exam to become a member

I think what Mr SS is saying is that some noobs come on here but they are quick to show us their collection some have loads of soops and fit right in and some have only a few pairs (like I did) and yet fit right in, or maybe take a wee while but fit in eventually.
Then you get the cocks who come on and demand answers to their question(s) before they'll do anything in return (ie - introduce themselves)
I've been on some running and MINI forums recently and the same happens on them. Some people just invite a ban.
Only their moderators let you get away with stuff and are not mini Hitlers like on here.

I joined because I was looking for info on the Toy2Rs. Another admission that would have had me buried in a second.
It's how you handle it though. The noobs who've taken it on the chin, responded accordingly and started having a crack with us are all still here. Knowing you as well as it's possible to on here, I reckon you'd do just that too Z. No disrespect guys but I don't really give a fuck about upsetting cry-baby noobs but if the recent atmosphere is causing some of our more long-standing and well respected members to stay away from the place then yes, we do need to change things up.

I dunno, maybe the mods should establish some additional rules on the front page then or something. If older members aren't happy with the direction the forum has taken then it's only fair to them (and also to us newer members) to make it a bit clearer what is and isn't acceptable.
