Community behaviour, final warning!

I will now be handing out immediate 3-day bans to anybody behaving as the below post I will link toward newbies. If a newbie is asking a dumb question, don't flame the hell out of them. You can word is nicer.

we've warned and asked people to be nicer, but that message isn't getting through. This unfriendly behaviour stops immediately.

Maybe I'm being harsh, but his reply didn't seem that bad? The only _mildly_ offensive bit was about the newbies being lazy (which a lot of the time they are; I know I was a few years ago) and answering the same question over and over again a waste of everyone's time (which it is)…

I agree with Syn. First off shaming him like that was no better than what he did in the first place and what he did was showing the newbie the harsh reality that he genuinely was being lazy and asking for a whole load of code that no one was going to ever provide.

Exactly - it's not WHAT he put, it's how he put it. And when you first join a forum and you're faced with that, it's a damn good reason not to continue with the forum. The first handful of people to speak to a newbie is basically how that person will see the entire forum. Allowing people to react like that is not acceptable.

Yes, I shouldn't have directly linked him, but I had less than a minute left before I had to go, plus I was on my phone, at work, at the time. My apologies for that affront.

> If you're going to give an example of a post that's flaming someone then please use a better one, the post you linked us to didn't even appear bad to me.

It isn't how bad the post appears but the tone of the post. There are too many members who have this negative attitude towards new members and that can put off new members.

When I First joined this forums I thought everyone hated me and I don't remember anyone welcoming me as well as, I felt ignored. Surprised that people are talking to me now, took me a long time of posts and topics and helping people to finally get some friends. If I think back to my Eclipse Newbie mind and use that as a medium for rating this forums it wouldn't be a kind rating. But I guess it's different for everyone and I know i'm naturally unlucky and naturally hated.

I agree with this post. Back when I started Eclipse, if I asked 1 question I was literally bashed to death by everyone. I know this community is suppose to be mature but my god give the newbies a break!

Honestly, I consider this forum a **family**, but it just breaks my heart seeing things like this. And actually, when I was new to this thing everyone sounded like "GO DIE, YOU DON'T BELONG HERE!". Seriously now? Be more considerate. Was/Is there a baby who spoke like a 21 year old guy? I don't know, but watch your tones.

Regards,

Ahri

Yes my child.

We are a FAMILY!

Families stick together.

Families look out for each other.

We will build a new home, somewhere safe.

Somewhere far from the evils of the world.

We'll all be safe my brothers and sisters!

No come, join me in eternal peace!
