N00b Stopper

You can't possibly expect them to read the rules. o_O; It's a thing of nature.

You can never stop 'n00bs' and flamers...they're practically an element of forums. Even if you must read the rules regarding that specific forum, it isn't guaranteed, because, after all, you aren't standing right next to them.

Speaking of which, I never did read the rules, either. ^^; Heh.

And yeah. There's no way OF stopping them. =/ And some of 'em DO read the rules.

yeah, but if they read like they spell...
I didnt read the rules proerly, they seemed like all Vbulliten board guidelines to me so i skipoped them and read them at a later date

Hey, that's offensive! I may have just joined AUG. 22, but that doesn't mead I'm a Noob! Some beginners read the rules! I took the time to read it, and don't forget, everybodys a noob once, even you, now how do you think this would make newcomers feel, huh? Did you even think how much it could possibly hurt their feeling or offend them? :dead: :dead: :dead: :dead: :dead:

You know, we're not calling you a n00b. -_- That's so pointless. @@; And by the way, it's not targeting individuals, it's targeting newcomers to raise awareness of the PC rules.

*has headache*

We are not here to stop new people from coming. There is a difference between a n00b and a n00b spammer. New people come here and post how they do because they do not know any better. Im sure all of you were n00bs at some point. We want them to sign up, and if they make mistakes we can help them along, not turn them away because they simply do not under stand the error of their ways.

Now a n00b spamer is simply someone sitting home bored out their mind and have nothing better to do then find somewhere to spread their unhappiness.

Bobby, I must remind you of your consistent error in this post. A n00b is an arrogant spammer who breaks the rules and does as they please, though they're still newbies in most cases; a newb is a new member, or newbie.

As for the idea, that's a safe no from me. First, people can NOT read the rules and not break them. Samuri Scearious for example. And second, when one person invites another, all they need to do is say 'Scroll down and click the word fish to join' (using Erica's example). So, um, it's rather pointless. But still a good idea nonetheless.
