Don't rep (either pos or neg) people you don't know...
I would also like to point everybody to: Reputation reason guidelines

Wow I could cut this tension with a plastic knife. Erm.
Lets all have a Party with some ...
I agree with MethiX, I think that we shouldn't be able to rep people with a certain amount of posts. You shouldnt really judge people on their first few posts.
We were all new once.
And when your heart begins to bleed, your dead
and dead and dead indeed.

RE: Members behaviour towards new people!
I agree, sometimes new members don't get a warm welcome. But in this case, I think the neg I gave was totally justified.
I haven't seen a single board in my entire life where people could just go create multiple threads about the same subject without any problems or comments about it. Just because they are *new* and all that doesn't mean they are special and can ignore the rules. The rules are there for a reason.
In most cases where new members aren't welcomed like they should (I do think new members should be welcomed friendly and positively), it is because they either haven't read the rules or just ignore them. If I don't follow the rules I take the risk of being negged, so why would it be different for others? The fact that they are new shouldn't make any difference, they're on the same forum with the same rules. If we have to point every (well, almost every) new member to the rules, we will have hardly any time left to help them with their problem. (bit exaggerated, but you get my point)
IMO, new members should be directed to the rules once they register, and maybe even the first couple of times they sign in to make sure they have taken notice of the fact that there are rules to follow.
My 2 cents.

RE: Members behaviour towards new people!
You know that I agree with you, but it really isn't worth moaning to anybody on this forums. Few people on the forum will take it into account and many of those who do will probably only follow it for a few days or weeks then go back to their old ways.
I've posted a few threats like this and people just took the piss, it puts members off of this forum.
It's full of dicks.

RE: Members behaviour towards new people!
I think the rep thing should be stopped or people should be able to give reps back easier then having to post 100 posts because some of the people can be a little harsh with some of negging and may make people feel like outcasts and might not want to come back on the forum sorry for punctuation i was in the dumbass english class in school
