shitty advice warrants a new asshole...

Ya know... I wanted to post on a recent thread where a newbie was getting his ripped open...
I understand the need to educate novices... that's why they're here... most of them will heed good, solid advice and not argue... so there's no need to berate them and be down-right rude. They're gonna have uneducated questions and notions... some of them will seem completely idiotic... that doesn't warrant name-calling and tearing them to pieces. How does that help? It just makes them resentful and not willing to come back to a place where *SOME* good info still floats around...and then that causes more problems for the A A S community in general. We're here to help each other... let's start acting more mature here...

most of those people who are doing the "ripping" on here these days are not far-removed from being board-newbies themselves. You'll rarely see any of the board's "vets" engage in name-calling and thrashing.... that's one of the reasons alot of the long-time vets have left this place.

Yes, it indeed can be couter productive. When ever someone makes a mistake it should be looked upon as an opportunity to teach. However, berating ppl doesn't leave a whole lot of room for dialogue. Nor is it conducive for learning.
That's one of the sadest things in the world, when the ppl w/ all the knowledge lack the personal skills to convey their message. Then no one learns a thing. Better to lose an argument and gain a friend/student, then to alienate everyone around you to the point where no one listens to you anymore!

agreed, some people on here treat it as there life because they dont have one. thats why they feel the need to bash on others because they know how to research better. its sad and those people need to leave the boards so its once again a place to come for solid, good, PLEASANT advice. notname calling and bashing to make themselves feel better about there horrible existance in life.

thats why boards have MODERATORS and ADMins to stop that from happening.. I just signed up as a platnium member wanting to be a long term member and if I had any idea how people were on here I never would have spent my money here... It is a real sad site to see a board as out of control as this one is..
you can look at almost any thread and see someone being an asshole it isn't a one or two thing it is alot . I have a few boards that I moderator and admin on and flaming is just not allowed period not needed doesn't help anyone from that..
just my 2cents and I can handle the bashing and give it right back when needed but boards can do without it and it is the job of the moderators to instill respect from the members or ban there ass..
