crazyml -> RE: Everyone Has There Own Preferences (3/21/2015 4:11:37 PM)

Hey there, You've had some pretty good advice so far. Definitely stop with the deleting profiles and creating new ones, or at least if you persist in doing so please don't expect anyone to believe you're here for the long run. As for your second question, people harass people for their preferences, mostly because they are asshats. Now as for participating in a Forum, the first thing is to use your common sense. While some new posters get a hard time, I don't think it's actually true that "all newbies get a hard time". By and large, newbies who settle in sensibly go almost unnoticed, it's the newbies who stomp in with loud voices and start generalising or pontificating that get a hard ride. Think of a forum as if it were a bar. Every bar has regulars, and sure - they're a little leery towards newcomers, but if you show consideration for the rules (both formal and informal) of the place you'll not be given a hard time. Just like a decent bar, every forum has its madwags... the crazy-eyed nut job who normally inhabits one end of the bartop has its equivalent in an online forum. And just as it is with a real bar, you can't always tell at first glance. Now, imagine you walked into a bar and said at the top of your voice "Why do people harass other people for their preferences?" What sort of reaction would you reasonably expect? This isn't rocket surgery... you need to be conscious that you're walking among a group of people who don't know you from adam....
