i'm sain that the post count was between 10- 50 post, it was likeearning you avatar here, and i partialy understand why because theres alot of newbies that just post crappy threads in the wrong areas with airy topics and get flamed at in them. not that i have a problem with the newbies,just the stupid topics less intelligent noobs put up in the forum.

The same could be said about several posters, with plenty more posts and time here. The only difference is, once a person's been here a while, they post crappy threads with airy topics and get flamed at in them...only in the correct forum.

I think everyone, at one point or another, may have posted somethng useless. Why are people tolerant of the vetereans doing it, but not the newer posters?

i don't think that's true, i know i've been ripped a new one once of twice for making retarded threads...and senior members ( such as myself ) have learned their lessons and do that sort of stuff less frequently than new users...

I agree with what you're saying but the reason newbies make bad threads is because that's exactly why we call them "newbies."

Newbies should be tracked on their threads until they have at least enough posts to be able to be let go.

As a "noob" I have to say there hasn't been many worthwhile threads to respond to. My pathetic attempts to create conversation have gotten me no where. I thought this site was about music, not Paris Hiltons' recent photo shoot

Well the thing is, the threads you've made, we've heard and replied to it all before.

And you would find some threads you liked, if you searched for them.

On the topic though, I have pro's and con's. Pro's are you don't get all these people coming just to advertise then never come back again. Same with those who don't even advertise, but rather post pointless crap.

The con though is some people want to find a song, and the Song Help sub-forum would be a waste since it's mainly newbies who use it. If they can't make a thread, they can't use the forum, the forum is wasted.

I dunno, I don't think it's that big-a-deal, do you?

I think its a stupid forum, along with song of the week club (which isn't even ran or used anymore...) cause do any actual senior members use it? I mean I hate to sound like a jerk, but they're newbies they're coming on with the intention of getting an answer and half the time they quit checking after the first hour and we never hear from that person again. Frankly, I don't see much of a difference between a user who posts once asking for the song and a guest and I hope this post kind of made sense i'm way tired...

yeah good point. although the song of the week club was AWESOME when we actually kept it up, but i can't even remember the last time that happened....probably before Thrice left I'm thinking.
