JESUS CHRIST why can't we just be nicer? Recently people have been getting meaner and meaner on SEN! I mean really, why are you guys arguing over little things? First it was the kiwi cult, than it was xp, now it's a symbol map scorpian posted.
I don't get it...

F*ck you

I dunno what it is. But i wouldn't know if they got meaner but some ppl are mean

bah its all these members... we should ban them all.. that would make a decent and calm community... actually just decent and calm

anyway i think some people here needs to learn some respect.
Shut up you Idiot Newbie....
Heehee just kidding I know what you mean.
It seems like people think they will look more elite just because they look down on other people... ...too bad.
Where'd you see any meanness, FireKame? In the symbol map discussion I was just pointing out how you can easily find the info Scorpion was presenting, and that he didn't have to do all of that work. He was pretty mean to me, actually, now that I think about it.
At least we're nice to you

.
meh. I don't care if people are nice to me, I can get over it. I think you can too, Nozomu, but it just annoys the heck out of me when I see people going "OMFG YOU ARE SUCH AN IDIOT STFU."
It's hard to pinpoint where exactly the meanness is. It's in most of the threads I've visted, and I only post in the off topic stuff and somtimes staredit news.
I feel the same as FireKame...With the surge of all these n00bs, people have been getting meaner...*sigh* SEN just ain't what it used to be...
</old timer attitude>
The only time I hold someone's being mean against them is when it's unjustified. If I've made a mistake or been a jerk then it's fine, go ahead and call me on it. But in Scorpion's case I was just adding to the discussion. I won't stand for that kind of meanness because it isn't a valid way of conversing or making a point.
I think that it's mostly in the Off-Topic forum. I've seen Bolt and Salacious have it out once or twice in the StarEdit sections of the forums, though.
It's the problem of the growing site. Idiots are bound to get in. It started with intelligent good people, who passed it on to others. Then eventually, it gets widespread and the type of person that tends to find their way here declines. As the age and popularity of a site increases, so does the incoming flow of newbs.
Even so, thank God most of the old flamers/spammers are gone (dimensia, demantrix, pred)...However it would be nice if people had a little respect for each other....
bah just threat people good and if they dont return it its their problem.
thats how i think anyway

lol that was great, best part must have been

C. AVOIDING NOOBS
I. Make sure you aren't one
Note: This section is bilingual so even noobs can make the discovery if they haven't already.
English (T4lk)-
Read the above parts of this guide carefully. If you find yourself unable to comprehend any of it but are instead beginning to think about how great you are and how awesome 'teh 1337' is, you might want to take one of the many available online quizzes to check your noobancy.

II. Major noob avoiding strategies
The main factor in attracting migrating herds of noobs is a large, active forum. If you find one of these, look to see if it has the management to avoid noob infestation. If not, look for a small or mid-sized forum that covers the same topic so you can enjoy your time there before the noobs find it.
Another way to keep noobs from interfering with your life is to become part of the authority on one of these forums. But that's often hard to do so you'll probably be better off avoiding larger forums first off. If you do manage to become part of the authority, however, take full advantage of it and establish extermination policies so that normal people can have a nice time without noob infestations.
better watch out for those noob nests..

OMFG YOU ARE SUCH AN IDIOT STFU.
Everyone gets mean and you cant really do much except be nice, don't point it out or it gets worse.
for some reason the "XPERTS" look down at the "n00bz" as though they were just stupid people who dont know anything...but hey everyone was a n00b once...and now the idiot "XPERTS" are being stupid and making fun of the n00bs.
OGMOGMOGMOGOMOMGMOGOM LOZLOZ I PWN0RS JEW!1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111111111

Everyone is mean. Dont u know being mean sells?
Joe: Hey im joe i give back to ppl. Today were going to make statues of myself whee homless shetlers use to be. TEE HEE
First time i herd that i cried
BEING MEAN IS FUNNY WHY ELSE WOULD SURVING NUGET STILL BE ON THE AIR
You spell very bad, we are limiting this to the staredit forums, and finding mean people funny is a problem.

When it's a joke ya, never when it's real.

The "XPERTS" were all *newbs* once. Not necessarily *noobs*. Of course if anyone is called stupid, they're going to defend themselves (even if they are), so there's really no point to these kinds of topics.
moose is right when we call people n00bs we were once "n00b"
That's not what he meant,he's saying newb is not the same as a noob which is like a retarded newb.

Eh were boys, boys do that stuff ignore it =/ we get over it after a day.if not we beat the sh!t out of each other..
I try and be more like a polite English gent then an American slob.. (No offense!)
...I'm American too...and....never mind. =/

I was a n00b once, but now I'm not, and I plan to act stupid towards the n00bs as much as I'd like now!
