Just a suggestion for this site: We should have an area for newbies to post in. nothing against them and Of course they can post in other areas to, but in their own area they can post all the shit they want in order to boost their post counters and get answers to simple questions that they are too lazy too look up (eg: "How old is Roger") I've seen it at a few other sites so it could work well and it might clear our board of some junk.

yeah, i agree with this...i was a newbie...but i can honestly say if i ever asked questions - they were technical ones...and certainly "how big was roger's dick"? "was freddie postman or postbox", "does anyone like freddie", "which album should i buy first" etc etc
No way! My being on QZone would be very boring without them :)
Actually it should be great if there'd be something like giant FAQ for newbiews with all their questions answered, if they can't find something by themselves and too lazy to do it.
But the last thing is to shut up someone, just because you don't like it... I was born in USSR and I remember the times when you couldn't say a lot of things because of all those communistic fuss and I don't wish no to anyone to feel something like that...

Of course I'm not talking about censorship!
But, after thinking about this, I've changed my mind. Someone (Breski ?) suggested opening an interactive FAQ section where people can ask answer-seeking questions (as opposed to discussion questions). That might make the board a bit easier to navigate

It was me, I guess: "Actually it should be great if there'd be something like giant FAQ for newbiews with all their questions answered, if they can't find something by themselves and too lazy to do it."
i think he was referring to my post in another thread Serry mate
as for the control of comuunism...i think this is different
USSR prevented free speech (full stop)
we're nto talking (pardon pun) about free speech, we're talking about free stupidity and free repetition....now if we setup an area with FAQs then problems solved - barring the occasional nugget slipping through the "prospecting pan"

I couldn't agree with you more.
Whenever people (myself included) try and tell them politely that what they post has already been talked about before....some of them get real defensive. This way, they can find out the answers and not be a real pain.

One thing that attracts me to this site IS the sarcasm (not that you care). However, if you want me and the other newbies to play in our own room, I can abide. Just let us know...
R.I.P. Dimebag!

Nah nah...
I mean, I do not speak on account of you. In fact, I haven't read anything by you, so I guess stereotyping all newbies is kinda just....inevitable. Haha, sarcasm attracts you? Try telling that to others. Oh well. Welcome to Queenzone. :)
cheers

Thanks. I now feel warm and fuzzy - wait, that's the Guinness!
what are a bunch of us newbies going to talk about in a forum that nobody who actually knows anything would bother to read? i guess we could talk about hair styles, how they progresed over the years.
I'm a newbie myself, so hello all!
I think a FAQ section is a good idea.... possibly even a section where newbies can make an initial post just to say hi, tell a bit about themselves and get a little acquainted with the board and its members instead of just being thrown into the firing line :)

You could, of course, say something about yourself in the Profile section. Just a thought...
to be fair, I'm not against newbies, everyone was one once and most are good additions to our forum. But what makes a lot of pple dislike newbies are pple who post topics that have already been discussed dozens of times and stupid questions that are easy to answer (eg: "How Old is Roger?")and those *cough*MessengerfromtheSevenSeas*cough* that post topics and such for the (apparent) purpose of boosting their post count and/or annoying the rest of us.
Haha.
*coughyouredamnrightcough*
But yea...I try and be fair, but it becomes too damn irritating. We were all newbies; sure. But they should just really...well....read the FAQ's. Do us all a favor. :)
