Well I'd like to talk about newbies and elitists being asses to them. Assuming you know the difference between noobs and newbs, lets get started.
Newbs, especially those who are on a forum based website for the first time, do not understand many things about the forums, for example literacy. I used literacy when I first joined, but I typed more like this,
something like one of my first threads
Hey, does anyone here like the Scorpions??? Aren't they such a great band? IF YOU LIKE THE SCORPIONS PLEASE POST HERE! exclaim exclaim smile
Now, I would post something about the Scorpions, take away the smiley faces, and definitely the "POST HERE."
So I see newbs being harassed, insulted, and worse, just because they don't know something like this, or if they post in the wrong thread, and yes, even beg.
Begging for gold is a big no no ( lol ) on Gaia. You just don't do it. But how is someone who just joined supposed to know this? He sends an email asking for gold, and than someone sends a letter back flaming him, etc.
When someone begs me I politley decline, (unless it's a RL friend).
So discuss being mean to people just because they're new. Pretty simple.
