Posting with good intentions

Such is life and the interwebs, we just have to live with it! I see it as partly our responsibility as veterans of the site to post with tact and tone to set an example, the older members are almost always worth a read!

We do have a lot of good new members as well, of course but I see a lot of people with 5-50 posts, no avatar and generally bad conduct go into threads and post short, ill tempered flamebait to rouse the other users into foul language and anger (this especially happens in the weekly sales threads as of late). Personally, I only very rarely report someone and I've been reported only twice myself. I intend to keep it that way!

Perfect fix for the new member thing: You know that new functionality which prevent users with fewer than 100 posts from making threads? Stop them from posting, too >_>

I suppose you're right, of course, but it's always the trolling, flaming newbies (and they do tend to be newbies rather than veterans nowadays) who stand out - I suppose, because they're in such a small minority.

Anyway, Rainbird, a very  well-thought-out and sensible post, but also pretty obvious
