    Influx of new members

    There has been an influx of new members of late...Moderators should watch for unnecessary newb bashing and members who assume they know it all and cannot be told what to do...

    And moderators should lead by example...

    I'm actually considering pulling my membership, I'm seeing too much of it... from people who shouldn't be...so how do you suppose a potential new source of revenue feels about buying into the site after testing it a few months?

    Hey man it's not my site...but I do know what a balance sheet looks like...

        What, exactly, is your point? If you have a problem with the moderators spell it out. I'm sure the staff would welcome your comments on, and evaluation of, their performance.

              There are a few examples that come to mind however I nor have the interest nor the time or desire to search the threads to show examples...this website isn't my baby...The moderators or seniors who do or did make such comments know who they are..

              I'm commenting without particularly pointing the finger at anybody to avoid upsetting the cart.

              Sometimes we need to be reminded of what exactly it is we are doing and the repercussions they sometimes create...

              And what I mean by pulling my membership isn't a threat... it means that I can just as well be a registered user, which has many benefits stand alone, and invest my money elswehere.

              Let me know when Madman18 ponies up...

                So wait let me see if I'm reading right, you want to call out the mods for noob bashing but don't want to show any proof? Its threads like this where someone opens their mouth about something they can't prove that makes noobs look at it and think "if that's what they're doing I don't want to be part of this community" and don't do any research themselves to find the truth that hurts a forum.

                We don't bash noobs. We may have a little fun but everyone is welcome here. Even ricers. If I recall ppl were bashing your car for being "ricerific" but you're still here and we have no problem with you. Weak minded ppl leve and get their panties all bunched up. So if you're going to open your mouth about something from now on that could hurt this place then have **** to back it up

                    I think he means other members are noob bashing not necessarily the mods/admins.

                      An excellent piece of advice and one we hope you will follow in the future before again implying that our mods engage in n00b-bashing without providing examples of your assertion.

                        The problem is he specifically mentions moderators as in the following statement:

                          Turpro..

                          Noobs don't see this thread unless they are paying members

                          What are weak minded people?

                          I'm not an impressionable 18 year old... I can handle crap and turn a cheek

                          I have the **** to back it up, I simply chose not to make it visible to everyone. I originally took this off line to keep others from seeing this...you weren't included...

                          I won't add fuel to the fire...I've said enough...

                            WTF? are you guys so perfect and smart that you feel you can ridicule people?

                            They are there aren't they? What would you call them for lack of a better description?

                            There has been more and more of this going on of senior guys flexing their proverbial know it all muscles to the detriment of new members and those with lesser knowledge of certain terms, acronyms parts and methods.

                            Have you noticed the influx of new members of late? I have...The plan is to keep them so the site doesn't stagnate and die...

                            So to summarize have a bit of respect for others...and if you plan on responding to me with some derogatory comments, you can go ahead...PM me... I promise I'll take the hi road and not respond...
