So much complaining about "Noobs" and in general

[Hunter4life]

See no post count. So everyone's the same.

One post count or more removes any Noob status.

As Shane said...1000's of post counts just means you talk alot, but say nothing at all worth hearing or, you don't have anything better to do than sit on a computer all day.

Just a question and an observation.

I am on a few different forums, a few firearms, but most not....same general demographics though.

I don't see nearly as much *****ing and moaning about things in general and especially not so heavily geared towards new members.

First, I find it somewhat unwelcoming and seriously pretentious. Must we ignore the many with higher post counts are also jerks and make bonehead moves? Asshattery is not isolated to new members. Aren't we seeming like we don't want outsiders unless they trade exactly as we would, have like minded opinions and generally bring very little flavor?

Rules are rules. I'm not speaking about that per se, but about how a member sells or trades his stuff within the sites rules.

This probably seems like yet another complaining thread, and its long winded, but I would like to know if anyone else shares this view or if most Noobs just need us to "teach em"?

I think we just have a sort of perfect storm going right now, and especially in the last month or so. Gun classifieds site--> Gun scare--> Higher prices--> Influx of new members--> New members sell at the higher prices--> Old members ***** about it

I think it'll chill if the gun situation in the country calms down.

im a noob done 3 deal now . i have not been turned down when i offer to buy/sell becuse of post count/ feedback . we all start as noobs .by the way i love ODT

I've never understood the noob bashing. To me that just brings more potential buyers and more potential things for me to buy or trade for. I say welcome everyone.

I agree with this, alot of the noob complaints are classified related. If this wernt a buy sale trade forum it wouldn't be as big an issue.

Unless I am missing something,Everyone on the ODT was a "NOOB" at one time.. I have been here a very short time so I guess I am a noob. I have completed many deals and have found every member that I have dealt/traded with to be very nice folks..

To the OP: "Outstanding!"

I'm an "older member" and I don't see eye to eye with many "long time members" on this subject at all.

To the so called Noobs: "Carry on."

As long as you and the person you're dealing with are satisfied, who cares what others think?

I absolutely detest rude people, be they noobs or established members. I was raised, and raised my kids, to be polite, respectful and follow the rules. This is really lacking here and nearly all the problems stem from this...
