What are you doing here with your rant on specific members?
If you have a problem with them, there are moderators,,, you can send them a pm.
You are a "newbie" and start with these negative posts? Wouldn't that be a reason to deactivate your account?
Edit: this "newbie" cannot be tagged and seems to have already vanished...
As to the whole discussion...somehow I side with Birdie. We cannot know if a "newbie" is a real one or a faked one new member...maybe assume but not know.
So, actually, I take every "newbie" as that, as a new member, but I would openly tell this member when I think, it had come to incite disputes and bad feelings as I did with the new member AbeliKali. I reported this member and then a moderator or Vijay can take the mesures they seem to be fitting. Every "newbie" should have the possibility to become a regular member, but there should also be the possibility to make a member know where it went wrong.
As an admin, my first goal would be to have a forum open to everybody but to watch/make watch the language used because the basis of a forum should be "agreeing to disagree" and not riling up other members. I would encourage members to keep it cool but if there really is an issue in the language departement (insulting, demeaning etc) to tell that one would report the member just for the language used.
We are human and of different characters and it will always be difficult to maintain a respecting ambiance, but I would not like to look at every "newbie" as a disruptive 'element'... and to be fair, I would not like to look at any member as a disruptive one...and if I start to think so, I would say it.
I've two phone numbers, one regular, one of a another handy for only receiving messages...so, I would only give a number one cannot misuse.
