If they don't have the time to read the stickies, I don't have the time to be nice to them.

QFT. If they blatantly run to this board, post a thread with all caps, and then ask their question, however disdainfully idiotic it is, then you cannot expect people to respect that. But, on the other hand, if it is a normal human being who posts sensitively and doesn't throw a hissy fit when you point out the obvious to him, then welcome him with open arms. It's funny to see the many people here complain about those "harsh" members, especially when they partake in the back-bitting when the scum of Bungie.net comes here and just fumbles his way onto this forum without thinking, reading, or looking around to see if his question/inane subject matter has already been posted/answered. Because the majority of "newbies" are screaming six-year-olds who just bang on the keyboard you just can't expect everyone to hand out sympathy to them. Elitist attitude or not; I cannot stand stupidity nor do I have the patience to deal with it.

You have no idea whether the "noobs" are six year olds or 21 year olds. They could be new to Bungie and not notice the Stickies. Just help them out by giving a nudge in the right direction (or napalm).

If you read, you'd know that you'd be able to tell the difference. For one, six-year-olds aren't allowed to be on the Bungie forums; two, a 21-year-old would be thought to be mature enough to at least ask nicely and not make a fool out of himself. If he does, then the same rule applies to him as it does to the six-year-old.

I was just reading a report on Adultolescents (like 21 year olds who live with their parents and actually have the matureness of a little kid.) What if it is one of them. Plus, a 6 year old can be on this forum if he wants too, but it is not advised.

Add me to your friends list if you haven't already. It's a lot more fun to play with people from The Maw and people I know than random noobs.

The minimum age to post on these forums is 13 years of age I believe. I think it's in the thing where you make your .NET Passport.

This is the thought process I tend to stick to after typing a post.
Will this post affect anyone/the topic positively(rather than contributing nothing or derailing) in any way?

If yes, submit
If no, ctrl-w

(i actually almost ctrl-w'd this as I thought it was common sense, but that would be too ironic)

...smart asses (constantly trying to think of a "funny-rude" responce to amuse themselves when, what they think "a newbie question" pops up).
Guilty.


I've never acted like that...=S

Sometimes I do the same thing... but instead of hitting CTRL+W I just click the Maw banner at the top of the page.

Yeah, this is pretty much why I never come here anymore. There are enough sarcastic, ego strokin', smart asses in the world. The last thing I want to do is read their flaming response to someones thread, when all the person needed was some advice. A good amount of people here are, for the most part, good people. But theres just too many here that have nothing good to say. I mean, how many times do we need to hear, "Hey, look at me and my perfect grammar. And I took the time out of my day to flame you, cause I hate everyone."

Peace?

I noticed the behavior started around the time Halo 2 Vista was announced.

Funnily enough, its the exact same thing that happened when Halo 2 was announced for Xbox, and then again for Halo 3. The Xbox fourms used to be great, then they just sunk lower and lower.

Yeah, I was going to say something along the lines of "I'll be an ass if I want to, I don't have to impress any of you punks". But the Percocet's really got me altered right now, so I'm just going to tell you to kiss my tushie. :P

Lol tushie.

I am sorry, but you do not start a sentence with the word "and".

Yes, you can. You also put punctuation in before the quotations.

That's correct. It's just not advised to start too many sentences with and.

Then don't answer at all let someone with some maturity do it


That quote by Igg applies to many of the people in here who are jerks to new people.
