Has anyone else noticed lately that some of our fresh members are getting treated poorly? Let me expand a little. Let's say a member new to this forum post a question that has been asked many times in the past gets a rude "not again you dumbass" type of response from one or more of our established members. Then you never see their post count go up. It seems to me that they may possibly get offended and just go away thinking they are not in the right place.
I have noticed that the few members that do this to the "newbies" are not thinking before they reply.
Now I really respect these members that do this but some of the replies are just plain mean! If they are new to this forum and ask a question that has been asked before, should we not give them the respect as we would expect for ourselves? Another thought is that when I first joined, I did not know how to navigate this site to look up the answers I was seeking before I posted my question. Hell I still have not mastered this site and I am the first to admit that I am technologically challenged! Some newbies may be the same way.
All I am saying is give the newbies the benefit of the doubt. If they ask a question like "does he love me, am I boring?, am I really gay? , will I ever meet someone?, or is my dick too small?' Don't be mean! Just figure they are new and they just want some guidance. We need to be as helpful as we can and not scare them away! I hope the meanies will read this and think long and hard (no pun intended) before giving a mean reply.
. And.....so what if they post anonymously with a bag on their head! No need to call them names. Just be nice and not so mean! Has anyone else noticed this or am I the only one? Thanks for listening.
