Do you ever get frustrated by new members?

[MrGaryy]

Title says it?

[Magic]

Mm, sometimes, if they make pointless threads that have just been made, but really, we are all new, so we all deserve to be treated equally.

[Hugo]

You were new once you know in fact only a few months ago.

[Hugo]

I still see myself as 'new' even though I've been here for over a year.

[Billy]

I get more annoyed with older ones.

[Bells]

We were all new once. When you join up a new forum, or enter a new site, it can take some time to get used to the format and navigate round. Usually it takes a while before we understand what everything does and how to use it all.

We just have to patient with newer members of the forum until they come to learn of the rules etc. themselves.

[Mrluvaluva]

There is always an influx of new members when BB starts. Like Ash says. We have to be patient and point them in the right direction.

I agree. I bet I was probably annoying when I first came on :tongue:

[Callum]

I think they are fine, like someone in this thread said we were all new once.

[Spike]

Sometimes I get annoyed, but I think we should all remember that we were was new once.

[Jackie]

No we were all new once (god i've nearly been here a year seems much longer).

[Jack_]

I'm new myself, and I'd like to think that I don't frustrate people, apologies if I do.

But yeah, like people have said you were all new once, and you just have to remember what it was like.

[GhettoSuperstar]

Oldies can be just as bad sometimes :yuk:

[Matt08]

I do occasionally get annoyed with new members, but like other people have said, we need to remember that we were new members once. I think with good guidance from other member's, the newbies will flourish very quickly.

[Emilee]

Im not too bothered, everyones new at some point, i still think of myself as a fairly new member, so im not too bothered, they all usually dissapear after BB anyway.

yep you were

[Sam!]

If I'm honest then yes. But they learn and get better :)

[andybigbro]

No, I was a new member at one time and people just have to be patient with new members as they will soon learn how everything works.

We were all new at one point.

You still are. :joker:

[Red Moon]

Even old members can be frustrating at times.

It's all about give and take how ever long a person been on the site. It's knowing when to back off and leave a thread or a person alone. Yes, old and new members make mistakes we all do from time to time. It's human nature but what most frustrating is dealing with the people that gang up on people and talk about them on MSN etc.....

We all have to post together on TiBB so lets have a little tolerance and respect for other members be them new or old.

Actually it was 4 years ago, but due to complications with moving, PC troubles and a terrible memory I had to create a new accounts. (Don't worry mods I can't ever access old accounts and I was never banned!:thumbs:)

[MrGaryy]

I'm not complaining, I'm making an observation.

If you want to use your old account again and stop using this one we can always reset the password for you as long as you know the username. :thumbs:

Nah, it's OK, I'm used to this one now! Thanks though!

[Tom4784]

sometimes, If they are troublemakers or speak in text language or use 'da' instead of 'the' but Everyone's new at some point so we just gotta help people adjust.

what was the username of your last account?

[Hugo]

tbh I don't think you had an old account but thats just my opinion.

[Legend]

Not half as much as some "old" members no.

Could this not have been posted in the thread last week which also complained about new members?

[Lauren]

Sometimes the newer members know the rules more than the older members - and are much less likely to involve themselves in the arguments/forum politics. So no.

[dbh-g]

I got annoyed with people on the road when I was learning cos they were so inconciderate. Beeping at me when I was slow to leave a roundabout etc. They were a learner once but they dont give a sh*t. I make sure now that I am considerate towards learners and treat them how I would have wanted to be treated.

Its the same for people on forums. When new people come on some current members get all possessive, thinking they have more right to be on here, act authoritive to other members etc, such as when people screw at multiple threads, not putting things in certain threads etc.

People are supposed to be equal on here and new members should be welcomed and treated the same, not bitched about and undermimed.

K...soz rant over! lol

[Nicky.]

I know im no Carole Vorderman..

But the ones that cant speak english reallyyy annoy me!! x

No.Text.Language.Allowed. < Its not rocket science!! x

[Shaun]

Only if they post the same thing over and over again, break rules, or have the spelling of a 2 year old cat. :)

[Bacon]

I was in Crete for all of last week.

[tinkerbell]

Some of them can be soooooo annoying by being ghetto or posting pointless stuff and getting a bit too excited .

[Bacon]

Do i? Night night

[Arneldo]

Yes, but just as much as some of the old members. It annoys me when new members join and dont stick by the rules and when you try and correct them, they are just rude.

[Xander]

As Ash said we were all new members once. It can get frustrating from time to time, but you realize when we were all new members the older members might of got frustrated at us. But there are some that haven't even read the rules (I know I never did) and post thing things in the wrong section, speak text language etc etc...

[sol]

It can be a little frustrating but like others have said, you have to remember that we were all newbies at one point.

You will be surprised. The General Chat and Chat&Games usually fill up with interesting threads, and forum games start to get played :thumbs: Stick around after BB9 and you'll see :laugh:
