The Same Old Song and Dance

We were all newbies once but when in your first few posts you start laying down the law and insulting senior members.

If you post decent stuff and don't antagonize anyone, then people won't even notice you're a newbie.

Doing the opposite then people will look at your post count and conclude you're just hear to cause trouble.

By the way, I am the village idiot.

I appreciate your comment.

We were all noobs once but when in your first few posts you start laying down the law and criticising other members theu you're in for a hard time, respect has to be earned. If you post decent stuff and don't antagonise anyone then people won't even notice you're a noob, doing the opposite then people will look at your post count and conclude you're just hear to cause trouble. This isn't just aimed at the OP but general advice for new members.

qft.

I never had a problem when I was new,because I shut the fuck up and read more than I posted. I wanted to get a feel for the board,and the people on it, before I started shooting my mouth off.


Now; I don't shoot my mouth off at all....unless I'm drunk.:D

Maybe it's because I am not a frequent poster but I've not been treated like a noob, at least not yet. I've not really seen any others treated like a noob either.

Unless....


I am being treated well because I know a guy who knows a guy who knows a third cousin who knows a guy via the internet who once had sex...with a girl!

:In my hushed TV announcer voice:
What flamebroiled doesn't realize is that we don't pick on him because he's new. We pick on him because we don't like him.

Seriously, if we were to look back at all these other websites that he has visited, we'd probably see the same pattern: Everything going fine......until he shows up and starts complaining.

Pffft...you do realize that the guy who knows a guy who knows a third cousin who knows a guy via the internet who once had sex...with a girl...is nothing but an urban legend. Right?

So I had a Sasquatch moment?

Well, I guess it is a bonus that he's not pretending to be a woman and writing stories about incest this time. Certainly an improvement.

Stop trying so fucking hard.
Seriously.
Come in here guns a blazing and trying real hard to belong without even testing the waters for a fraction of a second will get a lot more than your toe burned. Lurk for a while. Get to know the personalities. Be prepared to create your own. And step into a thread, gently, as if you are a visitor.
And for fucks sake, this is not a race. Quality, not quantity. There are some with thousands of posts - and whose first language is English - but because their posts are grammatical mine fields, they have earned little respect. Act like you have some brain cells in your head, not your dick.

Stan, I think your quite valuable advice is going to waste.
 
In defense of a lot of the people here many of the newbies that come on FreeOnes either have the mentality of a twelve year old or are idiots (or both). There have been plenty of new people throughout the years that have come on board that the majority of members here have had no problem with and everybody got along well with, probably because they lack the qualities above.
