Dino, I've done my fair share of humiliating, but I don't think we should take every new member of a month or so and burn them to a crisp. If they break a rule, then fine. But you don't just go and harass someone if they're not doing anything.

There have been members who had started out as the "idiots," as you call them, and turned into productive members of the forums. (I myself never used chatspeak, but I had a really cutesy attitude during my humble beginnings.)

In all honesty, I don't think Alcar would condone this. That's just not the kind of person he is . If you want a Moderator who would happily adopt this idea of yours, I think you're better off asking someone like Disgruntled Intern (who seems to have disappeared after his "You guys are just jerks" post). I've been here for at least 5 years or so, and in my time here I've come to know that Alcar would never just flame the everloving f*ck out of someone, escpecially not a new member.


On a side note: Dino, there's no reason for you to be double-posting, especially since you're the one who started this whole "Down With the Noobies" campaign. If you're trying to deal with people who break the rules, it's best to keep your own nose clean.
