[QUOTE=savemyaxe]not [I]all[/I] noobs are stoopid you know. But i'll probably have some pretty stupid posts, so go ahead, continue making fun of us.[/QUOTE]
Agreed. Im not saying im a really smart noob but not all are retards.
Although there are a lot of idiot noobs, but ive seen some dumb posts from people who have thousands of posts.

Of course not all new user suck. It is just that right now there a lot of them that do suck, which is why I bumped this.

This isn't to make fun of noobs. This isn't to applaud people with large postcounts. This is simply a tutorial to help with making threads.

I've updated the first Quick Tip, regarding the search function.

Good update, Jason. It's extremely lame and just a ridiculous excuse when people say "Oh, I used the search function but there are no results" or "I looked back a page and didn't see anything, so I made a thread." People just need to exercise a bit of patience and stop being so near-sighted in their searching visions.

I must say, this is in dire need of a bump. Hopefully a few people will read this.

I dont think this needed to be bumped. R&M looks fine to me :confused:

Does it?

People always have and always will make threads like that, and those are the same people who aren't reading the rules and aren't going to read this thread. Those examples are minor inconveniences, and R&M isn't ever going to be completely free of them.

A couple of bad threads a day? o noez!

We could start off by perma-banning the complete idiots. That might help.

Believe me, there's way more than a couple a day.

And what makes you think that they won't register a new account? There is no way to keep ANYONE off the board.

There damn well needs to be. But I guess it can't be helped. Oh well.

IP bans won't work because all they have to do is go through a proxy and they can access the site.

Either way, it's better to try and chance new users and make them better than it is to permanently restrict them from accessein the site.

i guess you could call me a noob :rolleyes:

it really annoys me when there are threads of the band they start a thread about on the same page... makes me wanna:smash: their head in.
