Why Elders of VJ bash/Hate n00bs?????

[*JG* 2]

I dont think the "elders" of VJ hate N00Bs, as you say.

I think it more the fact the the newbies come straight in, asking questions, BEFORE doing any research of their own,..and then expect immediate answers. And when they don't get the answer they want to hear, they challenge it or argue the point, with nothing solid to back it up with.

You will find a lot of the "elders" here, had already done research, and were through a least parts of their journeys before becomng members of VJ.

It is frustrating when people ask for info, the elders provide answers, then the people that ask questions dont listen anyways, and go ahead and ask it again.

Yes, this site is here for advise, and help,....but the best help you can get is to try and help yourself before seeking answers.

Not sure what constitutes an elder; but I hate on no one.

I do agree with the above post. And even when given answers, you need to research. The answers aren't always right and they do change over time somewhat sometimes.

I promise to be the biggest a$$hole on the upper forums EVER, and ask the most asinine questions, and be as rude as possible to helpful Elders.

sounds a bit uppity comrade... maybe, a nice 30 days in #6 re-eduction camp is needed..?

I concur.... seems to me he needs a bit of discipline....

and I'm with Tavo on this one: I am an equal opportunity PWNER (muy buena, hermano)

Hmm... and u shall be the one to mete out said discipline?

I think you look better in the bunny outfit. I'll let Mistress Amby do the spanking, thanks muchly!

nOObs are the spice of life. They give the geriatric members something to do besides drool into their drool cups.

If you think you're a n00b, please show up! And say you're a n00b!`

I shouldn't say this but I will say this, your comment reminded me of something like:

"Hey this is holocaust, please stand up and say you that you are Jew". Not exact comparison,

but was trying to make an analogy .

No you didn't.

He did!

Hey fella, what's your problem? stfu!

May I ask whom were you addressing?

Thanks

He was addressing you, Mr. Sagdiyev.

Anyone?

I think your definition is not correct.

Noob = someone who thinks they know it all, and even when the evidence is against them, they continue on a noob glory trip.

Newb = someone who is new, asking questions, and helping to find their own answers.

IMO

Now - I rarely bash people, if they become noobish in a thread, I walk away. Similar to not feeding Trolls.

Thanks Bobby, like Immagrant2009 I thought Noob meant you were new. There is so much computer/forum/game lingo I dont know.

I most certainly was.

I can take jokes just as well as the next guy. I've been known myself to make fun of my peepulz (the J00z), and can accept such jokes when they are intended as humor and are funny.

What I do not tolerate are comments which are NOT funny and NOT proportionate.

In comparing n00bz on VJ to Jews in the Holocaust you wrote: "Not exact comparison, but was trying to make an analogy"

There is no analogy whatsoever to be made there.

I realize you were not intentionally trying being offensive, and I'm not gonna make a big deal of this.

But perhaps think on your words a bit... they were out of place.

Nicely put Ron

[Nagishkaw 510]

I was offended.

[The_Dude 1,142]

I think it's fairly clear to all that using the holocaust as a front end to any analogy is really not appropriate. Get some common sense there. Epic fail analogy. /facepalm

Hi scandal and others,

Please calm down. My intention was not to joke related to this tragedy but replied to the person who was saying, "if you are n00b, step up etc". The point was since a lot of bashing goes on here, so it' s like saying "Hey i am ready to be ridiculed" etc.

Indeed words should be chosen wisely. Point taken for the future. Thanks for the pointers. Sorry who got offended, the intention was not at all to do that.

I am glad that folks were kind enough to make this thread go further and include their input which makes other understanding their view point or clear questions or mis-conceptions which others might have.

Thanks Guys

Well immigrant, you're not a n00b! I still haven't seen a n00b yet! muwhahahaha....

Remember, only n00bs gets offended. Those who don't aren't n00bs!
