Why Diss The Noobs? Options

[eXistenZ]

why is it that every time i read a topic there is always someone /someppl really ripping in to others about being inexpreianced and just want to learn?

that kind of elitest attitude really gets to me.

i mean....c'mon, we were all noObs once.....i myself believe i've made the leap into some kind of respectability......but only after screwing up two XB's due to not finding the support that i know most of you can give.

I'm not saying all of you are like this but i find a lot are.

there is a general good sense of community here...more than most others...and i wouldn't like to see it go down the same road as them.

i don't mean to offend anyone but i felt i needed to say something.

thx 4 your time.

eX.

I try not to lose my temper and dont believe i have here, but defenatly have on other forums fromt iem to time.


It becomes annoying when people ask a question that is covered in countless stickys and on a few occasions even in the post just below theres


that is my main gripe

other than that, I am by no means a expert, and I never ever want to be "elite" but I try and help where I can.

Wrong Forum there buddy...Might this be due to your inexperience?

[eXistenZ]

it certainley is due to my inexperiance...but its coming.

the reason i wrote this is because ive read this forum from the begining and the same issue crops up time after time...

i'm not trying to be a smart ass, its just that it annoys me.

[eXistenZ]

i know it can be annoying and i know it can piss people off....its just the fact that i've read on numerous occasions that they are basically the scum of the earth and i don't think thats the way to go about things...

Any question a "noOb" has probably been answered many times before, the attitiude comes from people who don't take the time to search for answers of questions they have. I picked all of this up on my own, it's no that hard. If you don't like the attitude, just don't use the forum, it's that simple.

because we can............ they call you n00bs so that once you arent one you can get revenge..

<rant>
see, people dont rip into all noobs

Noobs that follow common sense rules like:
Use the search button
Post in the right fourm
Dont ask about piracy
Use proper spelling and sentence structure

Dont get ripped into

Noobs that:
Ask stupid questions
Post in the wrong forum with a stupid question
Ask where to download games/burn rented game
Cant spell or use excessive 1337 and slang

Get ripped into

You fall into the catagories of:
Ask stupid questions
Post in the wrong forum
and cant spell/sentence structure

Therefore, expect to get ripped into.
