newbies and their damn dead-horse topics

[Mr. Dick Purple]

How about when you register the mod give you the rules via mail, after a day or two the guy can enter the board. So he cant post stupid shit or useless crap, in the end we all have been noob and have made mistakes

This would do nothing.

Do you agree to those terms?

All these elitist type of board section suggestions, I think, aren't really good.

Sure. There will always be newbies. And most of their topics are dead horse material. But there will always be people with fresh ideas and less than 100 posts also. To have a noob section would most propably be just another dead horse section so there really isn't a need for one IMO.

If dead horse topics and posts were being moved to the Dead Horse then the main section wouldn't be nearly as bad as it is today and people wouldn't be making these suggestions.

And it will only get worse as GNR regains popularity.

You don't think that's what we're doing?

You think we spot a topic that we've been through a million times, and just leave it to the main section?

The thing is. Our time is limited. There is almost a 24/7 watch with someone online all the time. But there are times that none of us are. Or we're looking at other threads. At those times, you'll just have to deal with it.

[estranged.1098]

Yes, I understand your position.

It's easier though if you consider some users have made nothing but dead horse posts since they joined a few weeks ago. I'm sure you know who I'm talking about.

I don't have a ready-made solution, but I have to say it is annoying that you have to click on threads with very non-descriptive titles just to read somebody's opinion on some song, while there are already existing threads available or somebody's opinion on the band in general. Maybe you should include starting unnecessary threads in the whole karma rule. That way you can give people who do not bother to read the dead horse section or use the search button a slap on the wrist without excluding other members, which a seperate section would do.

Yes, the dead horse questions are annoying, but it's a fact of "internet" life.? You guys sound like old people bitching about kids being on your lawn.

We we're all "Noobs" once.

yes but the difference is that some of us has been following the developments in this new band, or the work on CD from the very start when we had practically no information about the record or axl or who he was recording with or anything, for 8 fucking years i have been following it, but when you come into this board because you heard on the radio that gnr are touring again and all you manage to do is whine about a guy that hasn't been in the band for ten years, you're hardly a real fan.

I've been on the boads since the GNRonline forum days.?

My advice is get used to it.

The Mods will do there jobs.? They have always done well.

EDIT:

You talk about Noobs?  You have 36 fucking posts a day!

i said it on page one, there should be a limit on the amound of posts you can make per day in the first month you sign up. otherwise people spam the hell out of the place and piss everyone off.

(i remember mikegiuliana's first month at cd.com (or whatever it was back then. he averaged something like 146 posts a day. We got on like a house on fire)

I remember the same thing with Mike at HTGTH.

James was a heavy poster too when he joined.

yeah, probably as it was a while back.

although sladdi and bp have had cd.com for few years now.

[mrlee]

yar but the "this isnt gnr without slash" is an oppinion, not a noob oppinion.

so i wouldnt include that in it.

Its an addiction Thorazine. Or a sickness. However you look at it. Longest I've ever went without posting  is like 2 weeks. Mike had 146 posts a day?? Wow! What was his final post count at that forum? I joined the strip earlier this week to see what it was like, and they have a bunch of people with between 10,000-20,000 posts. I thought we were bad.

[2NaFish]

he was suspended after about two weeks and over a thousand posts. all in the past now tho.

Anyway, we're not here to talk about mike. We're here to insult noobs.....
