How About a Forum For Noobs?

[Kalisiin]

A forum where more Noobs could be at and any of those "high-horse" older folk around here can just AVOID THAT FORUM ENTIRELY if they can't be nice to the noobs.

The older folk around here who CAN be nice and wish to be helpful, would be more than welcome, but the assholes can just stay the fuck out.

P.S DanTheMan...thanks for basically answering my question in the other thread about the supercard DSONE i. I didn't quite understand the write-up, which was why I posted the topic.

See, if we HAD a forum more geared for Noobs...noobs like me could ASK a question like that...and those who want to be nice and helpful, could come by and read it and offer their help...and those who are "ANNOYED" by noobs, and think they are so much fucking better than noobs...can just stay the fuck out of that Forum altogether.

That way, noobs wouldn't have to feel so threatened and unwelcome around here, and maybe the Forum would grow more...to the benefit of the whole community.

All of us had to start SOMEWHERE, right? So why be an asshole just because you are more advanced than someone else?

Why be a mean son of a bitch toward someone and drive them away? Maybe that person who is right now a noob...two years from now will produce an awesome piece of homebrew that will now never happen because some asshole drove that person away instead?

Yeah, well, I think it's a good idea.

I AM TIRED OF GETTING MY FUCKING FEELINGS HURT BY PEOPLE WHO CAN'T CONTROL THEMSELVES AND REFRAIN FROM BEING ASSHOLES TOWARDS NOOBS!!

I have just as much right to be here, and to ask questions as everyone else, and should be treated with the same dignity, respect, and courtesy...as anyone else...AS THE BOARD RULES DICTATE.

I swear to God I'm thru taking shit from anyone...from now on, anyone who hurts my feelings gets reported on.

No exceptions.

Feelings hurt. . On a internet forum.

Didn't notice. *magically becomes nice to noobs*. Wait......I'd rather be nice to a newb then a noob. BTW, Nobody would make "fun" of you if you took the time to "search" for the solution to your problem. BTW, If you're tired of getting your "fu**ing" feelings hurt by people, leave. I wouldn't mind that.

You have no right to drive off people you personally do not happen to like by being mean.

such attempts WILL be reported.

I expect mods and Admins to take their duties seriously and maintain civility on this board, I will NOT be treated poorly.

I do not ask questions without first searching myself. but I usually can't find anything that really answers the damn question.

So I'm fucking socially inept and maybe don't phrase everything beautifully for you. i'm sorry. But goddam, you don't have to be an asshole about it.

I'm just trying to understand what I don't understand, okay?

Fuck, if you don't want to help, then just swit on the sideline of my posts and shut the fuck up, okay?

And if you can't be nice to me, then leave me the fuck alone...put me on ignore...I won't give a shit.

If I annoy you that bad...PUT ME ON IGNORE THEN. don't be nasty, mean or rotten, because if you are, I am fucking going to report you.

No exceptions, I am done taking crap off people.

I already have emotional/mental issues that require medication, for christ's sake...I am NOT going to take abuse. I already take enough abuse in my daily life, I don't fucking need it here, and I will not accept it.

I find that the search engine works rather well now we use Google, you just have to use it properly.

I used to use the Google one, but as of late it's become next to useless giving almost no relevant results.

EXACTLY MY PROBLEM!!

Once, it was helpful. Now, it's basically useless, because you get so many "hits" back on anything you search...and usually 90 percent or more of the "hits" you get have no relation to what it was you were searching for.

I see one flaw in the 'forum for noobs' part of this discussion.
Noobs are noobs. Most of them don't even post in the correct section of the site.
Even if you have flashy text saying "noob questions here" most of them will ignore it and post in the section that they want to.

EDIT: oh and yeah I must agree, Google search sucks on GBAtemp.

i can agree with that i've searched for things and i always end up getting a ton of posts that might have one of the words im searching and have absolutely nothing to do with what im searching...but i can see why you're so angry...i get annoyed about people posting the same stuff all day long and i make it known that it annoys me but i tend to just ignore the posts all together rather then flaming them or else sometimes i feel like being helpful even though its been answered so many times and i'll give them an answer or post a link...but it is true that a lot of people go out of their way to be an ass to people who really want help.

I think its a decent idea. But i think a noob thread were its okay to be a noob, would be better. But thats just my opinion.

If you created a separate forum for noobs, then I guess we've already lost the battle. The problem with noobs is the threads/posts of garbage the flood GBAtemp. Making a separate forum would just allow them to do just that, except without anyone to stop the flood by fixing their dumb problem or insulting them until they start crying and run away from the site.

Also, serious suggestions, please.

This thread isn't serious?

 

[rustybanana]

This place wouldnt seem so hostile to noobs if instead of asking stupid questions they actually read around for a hour or 2 and actually used the search function!

You want hostile? Try posting stupid questions on the xbox-scene.com forums!

Simply try and help yourself and dont demand help.

 

[p1ngpong]

A second forum for "n00bs" would be impossible to mange. Plus saying "this member has more value then this member" just goes against the spirit of GBAtemp.

What the hell would people talk about in the non n00b section anyway? If you are so bothered about n00bs just dont reply to their posts, and set people on ignore.

What an awful un-practical idea.

 

[Sinkhead]

The easiest way to end this mess is simply to close the thread.

It's not going to happen because of the reasons given by p1ngpong.

If I may add my own comment, to me it often seems easier to give a helpful and friendly reply, even if the answer seems obvious to me, because it's the decent thing to do. Creating tension and anger is good for nobody.
