Ive read about 5 threads in the last couple of days with new members starting the with with a 2 similiar phrases '' I know im going to get bashed here but...'' or ''I know from reading previous posts your going to call me a noob but...'', Why are these members so afraid to post? Because so many members here seem to jump on new members with insults and phrasing responses in an unpolite manner.
If you feel someone has posted a question without doing any research point them in the right direction with a link to the educational threads or a link that would help them instead of '' Get out of here noob do some bloody research''(Yes this is a flame and yes this is baiting an argument). Yes i understand members can get frustrated with new members uneducated unresearched posts but either dont respond in the thread or post something useful.
Think to yourself before your post '' Will my response be insulting to that member''.
I have been thinking.. If these 5 members are scared to post here imagine how many more there is? And do you know what? Those 5 posts were actually great posts with valid questions. Lets not deprive other potential new members of advice they need by scaring them off.
On to other flames - Condesending-Patronising-Baiting responses are all FLAMES or at least starting a flame.. So as i said earlier '' THINK BEFORE YOU POST''.
If you want to add anything to this let me know.
