LISTEN TO CATO!

He knows what he's talking about.

If you don't know where to start your thread, start it in the Dump! It'll be treated fairly there.

We're nice people down there you know.

Maybe a tally thing would help. Like, everytime a user has a thread moved, said user gets a ? under said users' avatar.

Or maybe that monkey smilie!

Yeah! the fucking monkey!

I say ban EVERYBODY! That way we don't have to put up with stupid posters who make stupid posts.

Cheers! :bottle:

You're in the jungle baby... you're gonna DIE! :D

Newbies will always act about the same way. I remember that I posted endless stuff about "what the fuck, why doesn't Diamond still get the recognition he desserves", etc, when I joined. Until I set to reading tons of threads to catch up as much as I could, before posting again while being more careful.

Somebody here once said that posting should not be possible (or only very little in the beginning) before a certain amount of time, so that all the same old mistakes would not be repeated ad aeternam...
The trouble is, some newcomers tend to act as such for longer and longer.
But without going against the spirit of the site, it is hard to deal with that. I prefer over-enthusiastic newbies to a racist invasion, though. :cool:

1) I'm a Newb
2) I type better English than most of the people's post's i've viewed here, Yet, I don't complain.
3) I'd never be stupid enough to place a post in the wrong section.

Yet, I know i'm truely a minority.

So, I agree. With what? With everything.
