You're definatly not keeping this forum friendly. If I was a guest and came across this site and saw this post and the other post you made earlier which offended one of the newbies then I would not register as it doesn't seem like a friendly place to be.
Why should our views be considered before 3 hour old members? Who cares how long somebody has been here? Would you like it if you were told that people weren't really interested in your opinion as you've been here less than a year?
Also, by stopping registrations we would lose a LOT of great members who wanted to sign up, weren't allowed so went away and didn't come back ... NEWBIES who could be great for this forum unlike members who have been here for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 years and make these members feel unwelcome ... you're a prime example.
The majority of newbies don't seem to get a chance as people who have been here 4, 5, 10 months seem to think they're king of the castle and just disregard them. Everyone is equal on here, being here for 4 months, 2 years or 5 years gives you nothing over people who have been here 3 hours and the sooner some people realise that, the better.
