Many left immediately. The things that were allowable back then were unbelievable. Many of those that enjoyed such sport dont come around much any more. The mods get a lot of heat but they have really accomplished a lot. Things used to get so heated and for dozens of pages-unless someone offered to 'meet up' to 'discuss it', there wasnt much moderation. Hey I've been moderated a fair amount in the past but mostly I would have to say they were fair calls. The environment overall is much better than the old days. And yet, all those vicious attacks and terrible people didn't stop you from amassing 50,000 posts. We failed.

Not when there are (were) people who would post over a hundred times a day, basically just shouting "look at me, look at me!" Where's the attention whore meme? Linus sez LOOK AT ME!

RockMyAmadeus Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Here's some advice: if you're offended at being called a "newb" and think you have no obligation to discover the culture of a place before barging your way in... ...you are, and always will be, a newb. While some want to be victims, the reality is as I said before: you work to fit in, contribute to the place, don't run to mommy and daddy moderation every time your feelz are hurt, and you'll be "part of the gang" in no time. You think of yourself as a victim, that people disrespect or disdain you because of your post count or join date...you'll always be a newb. You find common cause with the other victims, and you'll be condemned to the "newb crew" that is always complaining about how newbs are treated. No one has to be a newb.

Those who stayed were put through the crucible and emerged better board members because of it...you, me, everyone. It's almost as if taking feedback from the environment and examining and modifying one's behavior based on that feedback, allows for better social integration. As opposed to, you know, joining a group, not having your immediate feelings and needs met, and assuming the problem is with the group and not with you. What's the word for that? Oh yeah, socialization. theCapraAegagrus, MR SigS, Jeffro. and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some newer members or low post count members DO get offended when being treated with condescension. If someone is wrong, there's a way to talk to them without being insulting like that. Therapists do it all the time. Thats what some people dont realize. ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
