Eee...all I see is do this, do that.

I mean sure give 'em some guidence, but if you go over board the n00bs wont bother reading it and it will be a waste of time. I mean who really reads the intruction booklet before they do something?

I say make a most important top five and leave it at that.

Some people take internet forums way too seriously.

Unlike you who comes here just to piss people off. Some people way too much time.

Whatever, I think people who are new to this forum should just say what they like and be honest. I'd respect a person more for being honest than inflating the older members egos

We are apparently rid of one of those, we'd like not to see anymore.

I see that more in the more older members on the board. In many threads where people say they like a band and an older memeber will come and say the suck and starting flaming that person. Like in the official Green Day thread, a thread that I would expect to be a place only for Green Day fans, it will be covered in older members saying "Green Day sucks" or "they have no talent". It happens in many threads and even though it is O.K to voice your opinions I feel like some might not want to voice their opinions because of Older members bringing down others.

Im with pretty much everything on this thread, nicely done ...

But, I have to say one thing about this first:

To be honest, spelling nazis can be just as irritating as the spelling itself. Some people will just flat out refuse to spell properly, and its not as if its COMPLETELY illegible. Just dont keep bringing it up at every one of their posts , it gets annoying.

Anyway, thats all I have to nitpick about.

again though...im not being a spelling nazi. this is meant to inform the newbies... and im cluing them in to what pisses other members off.
