Newbies ~ Something needs to be done!

Post by SephirothJenova » Mon Oct 20, 2003 10:51 pm

With all of the fuss over hjow newbies keep posting in the wrong place and their dilly dally questions of how to upload and download, search for videos, etc., I propose that all of the newbie guides that people made and a good readable, recognizable messgae be shown in their Member Main page be shown for the first two weeks of their membership. After two weeks, the reminders of how to use the forums, Donut, etc. are switched off for them. It may just cut down on the majority of redundant newbie posts.

You Would think that the fear of being made fun of for posting like that would influence them to check more carefully.

well, thats a good idea man, and i would like to see moonslayers guide up there ^_~ but, i think it should remain on the account for long as possible, cause people may join, but leave their account inactive for awhile, and the guide will dissapear and you will be left with the same thing as before...it has some flaws, but good idea overal :P
