maybe a thread for longer served members,reminding them that everyone here was new at one point wouldnt go amiss.
Speaking of going straight in for the kill, i spotted a newbies very 1st post asking for a 48 hour xbox live pass for nothing.
Good intro to avforums mate![]()
And when they ask a question dont just ignore them or tell them to do a search. Thats rude IMO. Coming in here for the first time could be quite daunting for some

No names, no pack drill, but recently I saw a newbie post his first ever post asking about a plasma TV in an LCD thread (easy to do with so many confusing product codes), and he was berated on all fronts, even from a mod who referred to people of that ilk being lazy "assholes" for not searching first. Charming. All it needed was a polite response and a pointer to the correct thread and all would have been well. As it was a few of the offending posts were pulled by another mod as they were not in keeping with the ethos of the forum.
On that incident I'm surprised people actually sign up at all!
I'm only here for the fit girls, sod the newbies...
