ok, this may come as a surprise to you, but actually, for a long time after that ( after i had forgotten that you defended me ), i thought you were a bit of a prick, that's why i said it was odd....

same.

and people should do that as well.

and Perfection, UnitedByRock was mad about how a 16 year old schooled him. but there are others that we sorta shrug off. like AITA said, saying welcome though you;ll never return n00b defeats the purpose.

I did the same. What the introduction threads say is "I'm a n00b that knows nothing, here is a chance to flame me"

Yeah well you sounded like Kashmir does now, so you can understand how that would happen.

I've seen it done to people who type "liek 4 r u".

Maybe if some of the more "seasoned" members like yourself posted the odd welcome, then others would follow.
Just a thought. This site has the potential to become a better forum with more serious music discussions.

People here should make more of an effort to encourage new members to post responsibly and the spammers may take the spamming somewhere else.

yeah well im a lazy arse. i dont post if i cant be bothered..which is quite often. i just dont see the need to post them a welcome, doesnt mean i hate the very epitome of their soul. if their worth acknowledgement they get it as a reply to their posts. i think ignoring spammers is a better option.

^ what he said. i wish people could just integrate themselves and not make a show of it. my first thread was a negative one too, but there was a decent response. ah well, how i've grown. besides, since i've been here it seems like every newb was either a 12 year old girl (or a 40 year old pedophile) or a doucher just here to bash emo.

very true, i think the last good intro thread and a good newbie was hmm....i forget his name, asian dude living in paris....all the other newbies are really, well, not worth my attention....besides, 90% of new members that make an intro thread tend not to stick arround, so after i've greeted 100 newbies and tried to be friendly and none of them stay....i really don't feel like it anymore...not to mention that, for me, a good nickname is really importaint, and when i see a nick like "alkčsdkčsdgnbxvukase" i tend to avoid looking not only in the intro thread but also at any post they make to be perfectly honest....
