Trolls and Newbies

[FullCircle]

I was treated well at first, but it went downhill until I suspect that I was put on the 'Ignore User' list of a few venerable names. After that it got better.
Just got to get to 5000 posts, because thats when you qualify for the discounts, so its rumoured.

Anyone who discovers forums and is that vulnerable in 2006, not surviving this relatively tame one, deserves a Darwin award anyway.

And experience is what you get when you were hoping for something else....

in the early days, there was an unofficial rule that all newbies were treated with kid gloves for their first 10 posts, and it was enforced by forumites

Brendan, at times you talk a lot of sense, but sometimes...

I think that these unoffical rules are in your imagination, and it's probably about time that you stopped trying to enforce these unofficial rules.

You ae not a moderator on this forum and should stop behaving as though you are.

"Problem is these days if you try to have members enforce such good sense rules, the 'old hands' trying to enforce them will get flamed and attacked as forum police, so no one bothers anymore. "

Haven't you just proven him right?

So, it seems from that moderating statement that you have taken over the "moderating" /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif. Good luck.
