: Hi everyone-
: I will admit first and foremost I'm fairly new with this board. I have not posted very much, for several reasons. Lately I have been reading a lot of negative remarks toward "newbies" and I guess I'm just slightly confused- I'm sure a regular group posts here and its always a little weird when someone new emerges- or when hordes of new people start leaving irrelevant notes here and there. But anyway my question: What, exactly, makes one not a newbie and a decent, respectable poster?
annoying posts to a minimum until enough people remember your name to consider you a regular. It's kinda a grey area. If you're charismatic, charming, or funny from the beginning, you'll fit in very easily and will be accepted much sooner. If, however, you post multiple rants for no reason, flame people, add messages to the board without adding content, etc. you willgo the way of so many before you,
sorry, gotta go right.....now
