You obviously don't know me

Yeah, since I've barely even had a title. I'm not "attached" to it. There is no reason for me to say a argument since it all is already in the OP.

Stop being so attached to a title. It is worth nothing.


You say that...

I feel if there weren't titles people would have no incentive to follow the rules

I have been warned and banned many times. Don't worry about a thing.

Hello! You may also know me as Ijnekono. How you have made your way here I do not know, but welcome. (:

tl;dr

We need to keep titles.
1.) We have incentive to follow rules.
2.) we can easily tell who is respectable.
3.) It gives more reason to stay active on B.net other than the awesome community.

As I said, tl;dr so I may not have understood correctly, but you like titles?

I lol'd at the absurd miscommunication that occurs whenever dibbs post something. Perhaps his brain is so highly evolved that he can no longer clearly communicate with lesser life forms, even among his own species.

I don't need titles, join dates, or PPDs to know that I'm better than all of you.

I agree that you are better than me

And the gears will spin.
And the sinners sin, but at least we'll give them hell.
And the righteous few will spit on you.
So bid them all farewell.

I have a hard time feeling sympathy for people who don't have the courage to take charge of their own lives.

Ideal reaction to new member: "Welcome! I like seeing my community grow."

New member's ideal approach to community: "I want to help this community grow."



Ok, so it is illogical to dislike a new member for being new. Subsequently, it is illogical for a new member to pay any mind to any existing member guilty of the previous.

BUT new members can do annoying things. When I see an obviously new member do something silly, I approach it as if they simply don't know better. Maybe I should put this in italics to drive the point home.

Ideal reaction to new member silliness: "He does not know better."

Then, you show him--with a little bit of cooth--how to improve next time. The next case involves the exact some offense with a different mindset. See example...

New member posting a topic about BR spread vs. older member posting a topic about BR spread

We can all acknowledge that the thread will most likely accomplish nothing more than a lock. The difference is that the new member just doesn't know better. With a bit of guidance, this member can become a useful addition to the community. The older member (ideally) does know better. It's unfair to assume either member is a moron, but it is sometimes so. In this case, the sensible response to move on. Again, italics for the kiddies.

Ideal reaction to legitimately stupid members: "Move. On. Do not post or PM or tell your mom. Do not be 'the one exception.' Do not convince yourself that this person needs policing. We all win if the thread drifts into lonely cyberspace."


My basic thoughts.

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

pervious experiences.

Oh dear...

Anyway, I really have never seen any problems with biases for or against new members. From what I see, everyone is pretty much treated fairly regardless of what their title bar looks like. That's why threads like these that mention some sort of mistreatment of lower title registers or newer members always make me shake my head.

Really?

Really? (look through the posts)

Also in case you didn't notice I was writing this right before work. I never went through and "proof read".

I don't mind..

But I just want to be a Super Saiyan Member.. please.. I beg..

You can beg and plead all you want. If you want that title so bad then go to a DBZ forum. It's not happening here. OR you could do the next logical thing and use coup, just change your title.
