RE: Members behaviour towards new people!
Why didn't you just link to the Reputation System Guidelines in your first post, instead of the second third page of the thread? Instead of making this into Yet Another Pointless Rant thread, why not remind everyone to follow those guidelines? A reminder is more likely to reach people than a rant.
Did anyone PM the member with the Forum Rules and gave him a pat on the back, telling not to worry about what others said? Did anyone try and explain why people gave him such comments?
Did anyone PM WDZ about the comments that broke the Guidelines, so that he removed the ones he thought were inappropriate?
I'm tired of people who take the easy path and complain about the forum members, instead of doing things themselves. If you care so much, take the time to talk to new members!
The Reputation System doesn't need to change. People need to stop obsessing over it.
If there's a suggestion that should be made is that a new member receives a PM with links to the Forum Rules, explanation of the Reputation System, and that kind of thing.
Something brief, to-the-point, but precise. (Remember, not many people want to read, unfortunately.)
But even that is just pointless, IMO.
