It isn't a good thing that newcomers find themselves repelled by the behavior of people on this forum.
I haven't noticed that newcomers get flamed
per-se, as generally, if they are quiet and clever, they can get by without making too many problems, but if a person makes a fool of themselves somewhere, they're goners as soon as Drama gets wind of it.
And it is generally the new guys who make fools of themselves.
But if anyone else is still confused about that, here's an Example It takes A bit of imagination tho.
Your at the door to heaven, your so happy to find out that you were not cursed to hell. You walk to the golden gate, with 2 people In front of you, A complete Idiot, and bill gates. To get trough to the gates of heaven, you must walk to the gate with both people Punching, kicking, and violently attacking. But you get trough anyways.
It didn't really matter who was attaching its the fact that you could get trough.
You keep up this godawful formatting and you'll get a topic of your own, man.
Regardless, this latches onto the "no pain, no gain" theory, but I fail to see the logic in that. You shouldn't have to suffer to do something, and
people indeed don't.
Not every noob makes it to the Drama forum, some never, even if they have a topic of their own. If they don't come here, then they don't get flamed. This counters your stuffty theory of pain and suffering to naturally moderate the community.
