Look, here are some basic truths about this board.
1. When someone knew comes along, with the long time lurker, rare poster bit, they are usually a sock. So they get flamed for being a sock.
2. This is a board where humor is king. If you're interesting, you also get a pass (somewhat). But, if you're going to post about something no one is interested in, or that makes you sound lame, you'll get treated like a red-headed step-child. Posters like Ty and SS had a relatively easy transition because not only were they funny and interesting, but they gave shit back as good as they got. Hell, NFH got piled on for months (and still gets reamed) and she can take it and has made a place for herself here.
3. If you haven't noticed,
regulars take a lot of shit on this board. If they can't take it at the beginning, they aren't going to like this place anyway.
4. RB rarely posts here anymore, so newbies should be fucking happy. She consistently beat the shit out of them on Stalin.
5. If we're too nice to people posting crap, we're going to get nothing but crap.
