Okay, i think we are aware that most newcomers nowadays are first-time forumers., meaning FTalk could be one of the first forums that newcomer was in. Newcomers (especially those who are forum first-timers) are really bound to commit violations. I mean, i think everybody has to commit mistakes in order to learn. To be honest, when i first registered here I didnt bother reading the rules. I only read the rules maybe weeks after my registration. But i can proudly say that i never violated a single rule of FTalk. That is because i had learned my lesson of proper netiquette when i got scolded by a senior when i was in another forum (and i wont bother telling you what forum was that ). So there, i had already an experience, so now I know what i must do in order not to get scolded again. The same goes for our fellow first-time forumers. We cant blame them if they act n00bishly at first, since its their first time, they only have a 'little idea' about foruming. They can be n00bs today, but they could also become good forumers someday. Also, judging from the archives, we cant also hide the fact that most of the Mods here had also violated certain rules of FTalk during the first weeks or months since FTalk was born. See? we were also newbies once. We had also violated certain rules when we were just starting out. But since now we have enough experience, we are aware of those mistakes already, and of course Mods have to be good examples to members. So i think, instead of getting a bit angry about the newcomers, let's just try to be considerate with them. I have no problem in repeatedly reminding newbies about rules, having to clean sections, move misplaced threads, delete non-sense posts, etc. Its expected. Its our job as Moderators. It can be pretty annoying at times of course, but eventually n00bs will learn. We volunteered for this. Hence, we do our jobs. Again, i would like to stress out this line: [b]They can be n00bs today, but they could also become good forumers someday.[/b] All they need is guidance, from us, who are more experienced than they are. Who knows? they can become even better than us someday and be a good example to others . Chill out folks
