Sure. We can make another guide. On top of the welcome email, the Wiki, the two welcome posts in the newbie section helping explain things and the rules, and the fact there is a newbie section where as harsh as people can be in allstar, newbies is made so we dont have to get as frustrated about all this stuff. And after the 4th welcome guide and a required video I will still get a private message asking why they cant post in allstar, but it is ok to post in fierce board support about who will win worldZ?!?!?!?!

It has to do a lot of cheer culture, and that most people coming onto the Fierce Board are not message board savvy, but these things we complain about happen all the time at all message boards. It gets annoying. All message boards deal with it, vent their frustrations, and still try and make it better for the newbies to not ask so many silly questions. There is so much time and effort put into the Fierce Board by a lot of people. Not just the admins to administer it, not just the nerds to run it, but the people in the community who, in general, don't always agree. And the month before Worlds more and more people start discovering the Fierce Board and it doesnt matter if every newbie had a one hour hands on lesson of what the heck is going on, someone would still post something dumb.

Should I point out I turned off all the alerts for when someone shimmys me? I felt like having 1500+ Shimmys was making me feel too entitled.

 

[SharkDad]

I fear all of you. So I will continue to lurk & laugh... :D

your eye looks funny :eek:

Ok, I've covered general 'don't' posts (drama/who will win worlds/junior and so5 not going to worlds/not asking a question you don't want an honest answer to/bad grammar or spelling). The general fierceboard layout and why it is important to wait in the newbie section for a bit..anything else I should cover?

May I suggest a reference to the Wiki so we don't get 5,000 more "what's a CP and a shimmy, and where can I get one?":eek:;)

There is a link at the top of Newbies that says 'Fierce Board Terms'

A bunch of Fierce Board members spent some time this year building wikis for terms (started with a Fierce Board terms thread), websites, bids, and a bunch of other stuff to make it easier to find that information and get smart.

Fierce Boarders spent time developing rules to reduce the amount of needless backlashing, needless questions if you just read the whole thread or search a bit, and general overall respect for each other.

Fierce Boarders started helpful threads for Newbies, like "read this first" and "nothing to post. . .start here"

I know lots of people on here who are more than happy to help people out, but regardless of where you are in life, if you don't read directions, you can't get upset if people give you feedback.
