Newbie is not equivalent to "more irritating". You just happen to be newbie and are assuming that the reason people find your irritating is because you're a newbie. But maybe there's another reason... perhaps it's because you're a pillock.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation! -
Stop your jibber jabber fool.Originally posted by Arturo Bassick View PostMaybe because some of them are more irritating. There are some absolute ******* posting as old hands on here but you can see who they are and just ignore them. I know it is unfair that SB, SAS and MF (and others) get to act like 5 year olds when you dont, but to be teachers pat(s) you have to make the effort early on.
I've been banned from 1 day to 10 days on quite a few occassions. The tipping point for a perm ban is to then come back and act a complete twat or continue the argument ad infinitum.
The board has a short memory(SB isn't even sure whatbhe had for breakfast) and so posters can change styles / popularity etc quickly. Carrying on a dull fecking argument is the guaranteed way to get banned permanently.What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment

You might have 2 bans (which is pretty impressive) but you've missed an important point: you're still here. We dumped PatriotMan after 5 hours.
So you're not that special.
But I'd still put in a complaint about admin if I were you; if the owners knew how he was managing this site..."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

If it was just me then you could say that - but another newbie has been banned 4 times since he joined in June.Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostNewbie is not equivalent to "more irritating".

Also, the absence of much in the way of newbies here would tend to suggest newbie unfriendly territory.Comment

Not following all these posts completely is this not Kandr, NOB25 or one of those sockies or did they just try and join in the banter miserably without actually attacking the users and forum directly?
From a casual observer of General he seems to spend a lot of time here to say he doesn't like it and could almost be said to fit in now.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!

FTFYOriginally posted by Craic View PostIf it was just me then you could say that - but I also registered as another newbie, and that one has been banned 4 times since he joined in June.
Also, the absence of much in the way of whining newbies here would tend to suggest either newbie unfriendly territory, or that most other newbies are a bit more circumspect about what they post, and don't constantly carp on about how unfriendly everyone seems“The period of the disintegration of the European Union has begun.

That's good coming from the site's biggest whiner.Originally posted by shaunbhoy View PostFTFYComment

I have heard that Admin is out of favour with the site owners over the drop off in traffic and advertising revenue to the site. They probably only need one more complaint for them to fire his ass.Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostI must confess, we dropped the ball on this one.
