View Full Version : Why new members?

Why do new members always insist on getting themselves banned on their first week of membership? Seems like a stupid way of gaining attention. New members are like exploding terroists, they take too many people with them.

I have no idea what you are talking about. I have never been banned my first week.

It takes at least two.

In group of humans, there will be a signifigant number of idiots. EoFF is no exception. So what happens is that with every batch of newbies, there are smart people who don't draw too much attention to themselves, and idiots who do. The idiots, being idiots, get banned fairly quickly, hence the skewed perspective you seem to have on newbies. With the exception of those who join purely to advertise, first-week bannings are comparitivly rare.

That, or they're second accounts. ;)

I have never been banned, but mostly because I get bored and leave before I do something *too* stupid. Also, the people that get banned like that are too cool for the rules XD

because they are inherently n00bs
and everyone knows n00bs == dumb evaluates to true
.'. they == dumb yields true

Thinking that new members tend to be stupid is a logical flaw. What is really happening is that only non-stupid (I use this word loosely) members stay around long enough not to be considered new anymore.

We call this natural selection.

Shlup

A large chunk of them are second accounts, and we tend to find those quickly. Aside from that, the strictness of this forum makes is kinda sink or swim.

Raistlin

Though fatties like Shlup just float.

oddler
01-23-2007, 04:43 AM
I think that technically counts as swimming given the standards.

Shlup

I'd rather float on my fat than have to strap water wings to my spaghetti arms. :aimmad:

Yeah, a lot of these so called newbies are really banned members who just cannot seem to let go. :)

What is the policy on making a second account and not getting in trouble for it? Aside from, of course, the second account getting banned? Do you get a warning with your primary account? Or is it generally viewed as "lol that was funny"?

I am writing a book and the answer to this question could decide whether or not it is a 35 chapter book or a 36 chapter book.

Shlup
01-23-2007, 05:13 AM
Whether or not they get a warning, they do generally get on the staff's "annoying twit" list.

Raistlin
01-23-2007, 05:53 AM
I'd rather float on my fat than have to strap water wings to my spaghetti arms. :aimmad:

Your husband is skinnier than I am, by my recollections. :p

Btw, is it me or ed that holds the record for being on the Annoying list the longest?

Chemical
01-23-2007, 05:54 AM
It's always you Raistlin. Always.

In fact I'm pretty sure I heard rumours that they're changing the name of the "Annoying Twit List" to the "Raistlin List."

On topic:

Does it really matter -why- the newbies get banned? No one really misses them anyways.
I'm actually surpised anyone even notices when another one bites Shlup's boot.

And I've seen pictures of you. He may be thin but at least he has some muscle. You're all skin and tendons.

I don't fancy this site to the point I would reconstitute a second account if I get banned. Or I whould say, WHEN I get banned.

I am writing a book and the answer to this question could decide whether or not it is a 35 chapter book or a 36 chapter book.

I've gotten a warning for my two second accounts. The first one came right off as stating it was a second acount.

The Second won a thread, hence its awesomeness ensured my stay.

If your second account is pimpin, you'll get away with it.

And yes Leeza, my mind has discarded your warnings and replaced them with praise.

Still, how the hell is it always Leeza to give my serious Warnings? One EoEO ban and both Second accounts?

You're a bit paranoid. Let it go.

boys from the dwarf
01-23-2007, 07:35 AM
very paranoid.

i didn't even notice you existed until this thread. theres nothing against you here.

Nearly everyone was once a noob but once you get past that stage of newness, you'll eventually be accepted. i dont look down on noobs unless they type stupid pointless things and will obviously get banned.

a lot of members were never really noobs. they just sort of joined and didn't make a big fuss about it and in a few months they become some of the more well known members.

Yes, really. I have openly admitted, on many an occasion, that this is my second account.

You get banned by doing something that isn't smart. It is very easy to avoid being banned.

You should made a newbie thread where everyone's nice and friendly! It's the only chance you'll get to see them like that!

And most new people don't seem to:
A) Read the rules.
B) Understand the rules.
C) be incredibly Stupid.
C) Have any concept of "rules".

It's the typical RUSH situation.

I think a lot of people get banned in their first week is that they don't read the rules, start fights and have no shame. Only forum I've been on before here was Neopets and that was insanely strict. Made me into a good little forum junkie. (When I can control my temper)
