terroristics Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Serious question. Why is there so much hate for new members? I recently fell in love with vinyl (collecting, playing, scavenging). I literally love every aspect of it. I was referred here at a record store as a great place to get into the world. Yet, seems like it's Damn near impossible to get in the door being treated like the plague. Granted I have interacted with a few great users. sacredheart, stl_ben, ethanabr and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+hecollec+or Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Many get shit for being new on here. Just ride it out & dont let anyone bother you or take it personally. It's an unwritten rule that newbies will be hazed. If you have a thick skin you'll be fine. If you don't you'll probably leave soon. emacs and clumsymonkey 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 The main things people get mad about are: People not using the search function, then starting duplicate threads. People asking stupid questions or questions about very specific issues. ::cough:: People who put things in the wrong section of the forum. And people just being straight up dicks from the get-go. You'll be fine, take a little hazing in stride and grow a thick skin for your first month or so and you'll get how things work.

Bladewillisisdead Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Pretty sure I was beloved starting with my first post. But seriously, I'd lurked the boards on and off since 2006 or 2007. Id have to be pretty dumb to fuck up at that point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terroristics Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 Too late not to post it haha. I was basically just wondering if I was having horrible luck. Had never been treated like I was an Ebola patient in any other forum. Just threw me for a loop. Now that I know it's normal, I'm good.

dethrock Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I don't think people here hate new members just because they're new. We hate them because they sign up and ask a question that's been asked 500 times before. That and most of the time they seem like they've never used the internet before.

terroristics Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 I will take all of this hate and then mold it into the most evil record ever played!
