POLL: n00bs - Friend or Foe?

[MercenaryForHire]

In reference to the (now locked) Adopt a Newbie Program thread:

In general, how do you react to the typical flaming/idiot/troll n00b? This is disregarding the few we get that actually show up and manage to fit right in, or admit their Newbieness and just quietly lurk for awhile.

I eat n00bies for breakfast.

I don't believe anytime in the near future people will be able to place "forum posting skills" on their resume. So, everyone that knows the forum posting ropes can get off their high horse.

 

[Zim Hosein]

No. I just flame the living crap out of them. Baptism by fire!

Its not "forum posting skills"

Its anandtech off topic forum posting skills. Even within anandtech, the various forums are much different. Some people just are not interesting in OT.

And then theres Elemental007, the perma-n00b

 

By my standards, 95% of this forum is newbs.

 

[conjur]

There are good n00bs and bad n00bs.

There are cool regulars and asshat regulars.

Flame the bad and the asshats.

[ThaGrandCow]

I believe in trial by fire. 1 flame is worth 100 rationally thought out pieces of advice. And the flame gets remembered longer.

depends on the circumstances
