Rookies making posts on a totally different subject than the thread

Give them a warning, then ban them if they do it again.

Or

Ban them, then give them a warning.

 

I agree.

 

Can't they just realize their opinion doesn't matter? and even if It did, their point has probably already been made and then some by the more articulate members of the board.

I propose we ban all n00bs who do not measure up to our high stannerds of excellentude. It will help us get over this whole Gay business that has caused so much heartache.

 

Hey guys, I heard from a good source that we are NOT drafting Reggie Bush, but Mario Williams.

A link to follow.





Just kidding, Just Kidding. I'm guessing that if the news is noteworthy, another member will post it. I'm guessing the Lebron signing was kinda obvious. I don't think he was signing with Chicago, New york, or Los Angeles. Plus, it's the weekend, and it's kinda slow. I've been on this website all day cause I was at work.

 

Yes, when I was a rookie I hated that, I thought that I had some good threads I could've made but I wasn't able to. I didn't do anything like that though, I just sucked it up and went about, in time, they will get promoted to Member.

 

So you're saying you would have played Gay despite the fact that he's a rookie?

 

Well, as long as we're piling on...

I also hate it when they quote a HUGE post or picture just for a 3 or 4 word response like this:

Of course, a 'contributing member' does the exact same thing later in the thread, so what do I know.

It just bugs me when people do that.

 

agreed

 

or then spam to spam...

*PS... Which is acceptable if they throw in a interesting tidbit of team history.

 

I realized this a long time ago yet I still continue to post. Maybe I should be downgraded?

 

lol, u make me feel worthless.... , but clutch, y can't rookies start a thread on bbs hangout? i understand about garm, but we rookies are also human... we like to share our life expiernce like relationships, comp problem, and etc.

 

You could make a sticky for rookies to post "new" ideas in so it can be ignored there instead - then they wont have to pollute other threads with a "hey please post this in a new thread" request. And what do you know, maybe one in a hundred will actually have info worth someone making a new thread - but most likely as ppl say it will be discussed already - but this will give the rookies that are (or on the way to becoming) solid posters a place to post their hot info.

 

how in the hell do some rookies have 600 posts since april????

 

Maybe because they think increasing their post count is what gets them promoted out of "rookie" status?

There are several newcomers whose opinions I've come to value over the past couple months. However, it seems like for every valuable rookie that joins the community, there are ten 13-year old spammers that join as well.

New members actually don't bother me that much though. I think most of them start to "get it" after a while...even the 13-year old spammers. The folks that've been around for a few months and think they have the right to criticize/pass judgment on newer rookies annoy the hell out of me.

 

I thought it was post count, did that change? If it did change, I say that's a good thing. Even if you start your first year on the team, you are still a rookie and need to carry the vets bags and it should be the same here.

 

well, it didnt change per se..

rookies are rookies until they show enough good solid posts for the selection committee(Clutch) to decide they deserve member status.

this is different than the old way of being a jr member till you reached a certain post threshold.

 

Well, there is the same netiquette issues in the hangout and the GARM. But, I like this idea anyway because it is somehow less problematic for people to start useless threads in the hangout. Clutch, at least let rookies start threads in the D&D -- so we may prey on the poor innocents.

 

BAN THEM ALL AND LET GOD SORT THEM OUT!

Luther Head did get a lot of playing time and even started a few games. Perhaps you should change the rule to allow rookies to start new threads if a senior member becomes injured.
