going through alot the threads on here and I see alot of baggers, haters, whatever you wanna call it. If you enjoy this site and want to be on here for awhile than I suggest you watch what you say and the words you use otherwise, your not gonna like the results. This site is designed as a fun and interesting tool for us. There should be no reason for a moderator, but givin the past events and some people that just don't get it, there is. Just watch what you say, how you say it and, your time on 6gc.net should be an enjoyable one.

I could not agree more, and i really think that some of the people on here should really stop hating on the new guys, thats alot of the reason people do not stay long here, were here to help people with our mutual love for celicas/toyota not flame them for not getting results from an outdated search system. just think before you flame someone, it may not be your style, but its not your car

I usually don't comment on these kind of threads but lately, I too have been seeing this kind of behavior. Luckily, it is not as bad as other car forums.

I agree with you both but also want to point out that its not just old members hating on new members but new members having no respect for the older members. Not talking from my own experience but its something I observed on here quite frequently.

Old members, like 96stgreendemon said, take it easy on the new members. You were there once before, we all have.
New members, listen to the older members. Some people here are old as your parents. Respect them.
If you're in the middle, well just be nice to both.

I agree with you 100% don't get me wrong.
But to be honest, I've seen forums that are probably 10 times worse, language wise, and content wise.
With people hating on each other left right and center.
Thats probably why I like 6gc better though..

I think Shig hit the nail on the head with the new members having no respect for older members and vice versa. It just seems to be a perpetual cycle of new members disrespecting older, more knowledgeable members so the older members lose respect for the new members. And unfortunately, this isn't a cycle that will ever be broken.

I too also agree. Another car forum I'm on have "thanks" buttons to thank other people for good posts. However...they also have "fail" buttons which many people receive for bad posts...seems like a good idea at first but it gets way too out of hand and people are getting "failed" for everything...and it creates a totally different atmosphere on the forums...people get too cautious of what they post, with fear of being "failed"...so much too often do I see posts that start with "sorry if this is a repost, but..." or "i tried to search but came up with nothing.."

must say...overall..it's a lot better here on 6GC thumbsup.gif

ive been on the club rsx forums...quite a lot of profanity and pervertedness going on there..LOL. not dissing them, just saying that's what ive observed. rsx's are nice. but back on topic, when new members fail to use the search bar, please dont be a d*ck about it. just TRY to KINDLY say "Please use our search engine". instead of doing so rudely by implying that they're dumb, blind, or something..

we should have a LIKE button.

Omg Andrew is posting.....

I cannot think of ONE long time member that bags on any noob for no reason just because they are new to this forum. If we say something to them bashing them it was:
A. Because they attempted to act superior to everyone else when in reality they are just like every other n00b(which everyone has been as joe stated).
B. They act as if this forum owes them something, as if they pay a fee.
C. Wont search for themselves and just want info spoon fed to them.After people have told them to search.

I may not agree with 6gc.nets "family policy" but blatantly cussing and spewing crap is completely different than telling someone why they are wrong and what they should do. 6gc is by FAR the best kept forum im on as far as post cleanliness, and that is mostly due to the awesome moderator(AND ADMINISTRATOR biggrin.gif biggrin.gif ) staff that we have on this site.


I do agree that some new members completely disrespect OG members and therefor the members immediately just hate all noobs forever or just up and leave the site(it happens). I think a good solution is when registering, there should be a page that they are forced to read with just some of the basic rules, search function, respect, ect. That would get rid of like 40% of noob posts.

what are these fights u guys talkin about? i dont see them! this site is awesome, and it is SURPRISINGLY well kept and flame less... i am planning on writing some of the magazines about this site, and the cars on it, as im getting tired of no celicas being featured. this site is a nice medium and isnt too brainy like some sites but you wont have to worry about the fights like some random civic/honda site.

cheers to the mods and christian!

and i cant belive andrew isnt a part of the goonery! tongue.gif

I'll even chime in and (like anytime i post) make this thread epic tongue.gif
jp

Honnestly my thoughts:

1- This is a repost. This pops up ever 6-8 months. Within the next 1-2 months there will be the ever so famous "the modd's are mean to me" thread too. rolleyes.gif

1a- It does always give a solid reminder to everyone though. And usualy lasts up untill about a month before the next one.

2- As always with these "NewGen/OldGen" threads, I agree with OP, and all posts so far (including the "what's up" to piro, and Andrew's post- lol) Andrew got the nail on the head with his point "C". The new guys who get burned to the point of leaving are the ones that join and start building a reputation bassed on things they "intend" to do. (GT4Solder's epic 2 post's before being banned comes to mind...) witch he's settled down and done some learnin and is okay in my book now. So no offense by that example. it's just a preimum example.

2a- It's never a good idea to build a reputation on what you havene't done.
2b- As a senior member, looking at a fresh face, How do you know they haven't actualy done it before? (i had that problem, I ran several swaps/boost projects with a different car community before getting a celica and finding my way here. And was a noob here. Although i humbly asked for information and lived in the search for a few months before talking anything)
2c- And that's how i justify myself when i tell people to search. I've done it. It's helped.

3- Search feature really is your friend. Because not only do you learn the answer to your question, You learn the other questions you should have been asking. AND their answers. (EX: Someone totaly new to boost would ask "what injectors to use" and learn that he also needs a fuel pump. Witch pump? Oh a Walbro225lhp, Gotit) wink.gif

4- I do endorse the non flame thing. Unless you're not listening. Then i believe you deserve what you get. (I use the teq. on all my trainee's at work. I cannot teach you what you refuse to learn)

5- and most importantly we are a community. Each member has a different face, personality, taste, style, likes and dislikes. That should absolutely be respected at all times. From Ricer to Restorer. (be it a 4 Ft razor wing with vertical doors, or removing a stock wing and replacing aftermarket with the origonal yellow side markers) It's our differences that make us unique. And or difference of understanding as a community that makes us unique aginst all other fourms.

With that said; NO is still haven't learned to spell. laugh.gif

Being a semi new guy (almost a year now) I've learned the rules of the forum, and what to do and what not to do. Just as I am in real life, I sit back and watch whatever one else posts and then I post if I can't find something at all (after searching). I've learned to use the search button because it can be very helpful and I've learned to respect the members on here. I don't question the OG's because I know that they know what they're talking about. Sure I may act a dumb question or remark here or there, but don't we all?
I absolutely love this forum, and if you learn your stuff and respect the members on here, you'll get respect in the end.

dang mkernz22 you have 4 blue boxes under your name and you've been here less than a year. d a m n how many posts do you have haha. But yes I know what you mean I just had some member pm about the same stuff your talking about lil joe. It's not too bad here since most of the site is from the age group 20 and above so that's why it hasn't been to bad lately.

I couldn't agree with you more mkernz22 the member that pm'ed me as well gave me crap because I posted something accidently but never harmed anybody else.

I agree with you Joe. i know ive laid into some noobs before. lately ive only blown up on one newb and it was for disrespecting the site and the other members by not listening when we are tryin to help and insulting the 6gc itself. that to me is grounds for a rant. i may have a short fuse but i respect noobs. because like you said we were all once one but only until i feel disrespected by a newb. any long time member i have a problem with i take to PM's as it properly should be.

I personally thought the forum to be a very organized and civilized place...Till the rota thread turned into catfight but you know what they say about fighting on the internet...

Reminds me of the fight between Turbophil and the old dude with the wicked exige...
