> [@Rubicant](#): > > Warranted: said n00b flames you directly via an attack of personal nature, NOT for unintelligent posts, ideas, quips, etc. Have we become so politically correct here that you are not going to allow the forum to weed out the weak, meek, and those members who will not last 5 posts into “Speeder Jr.”? Out of curiousity, what is the post count threshold to get to Speeder Jr. from n00bie? Because, if they are so likely to be “attacked” during that n00bie period, they prolly aren’t long for this community. Furthermore, isn’t the n00bie tag specfically denoted for an initiation period? These are the questions that I think of, while bored, at work, on a Thursday night, slightly hungover. ---

I think blindly flaming noobs just because of their noob status does nothing to better the community. However, if the noob is trolling or attention whoring, as illustrated by a few of the recent noobs, then it’s fair game. ---

However, if the noob is trolling or attention whoring, as illustrated by a few of the recent noobs, then it’s fair game. I’m not talking about blindly attacking n00bs simply beacuse they’re n00bs. I’m talking about talking shit to them because they post something idiotic. Ref: “Kid bankrupts Make-a-wish” thread. ---

Odds are it won’t be long until any gray area is gone… I guess another problem is that the n00bs that really deserve a good e-flogging take forever to hit 20 posts since they’re just fucking off in OT constanly. (Yes, pot-kettle…) Just don’t flame anyone in the intro subforum. Other than that try and have a bit of tolerance for stupidity. ---

> [@Fry](#): > > Naw he’s saying the same thing: Don’t flame a n00b unless they really deserve it. mmhmm, sure. You make a dumb fucking post in the Newbie Section, no one can call you on it. You make a dumb fucking post in OT, you’re going to hear about it. Fine, I can do that. No problem. Now, has anyone considered the difference between the two subforums? OT & Classifieds drive this forum. In the summer Kills used to bring in a fair bit of traffic (No RX3, I don’t have any net’stats to verify this, but if you honestly think otherwise, then you don’t spend enough time here)… leave these things alone, and the forum will be fine. New members are safe in newbie section, if they’re an idiot anywhere else, then they’re an idiot. You know, this is becoming far too repetitive. I’ll see you all in a few months.
