This is getting ridiculous. About ten newbies are now running all over the board creating pointless chaos and flame wars in each and every thread. One even called my signature annoying! I haven't seen it this bad since the Code Wars. And that, at least, had a point (all technological advances meet with some opposition).
SO! The moral of the story is...
Crazy Newbies Must Stop
Go talk about Mario or something like that.
I'm sure the Good Old MembersTM will agree.
“I’m a stupid fatty and I love to play with my Easy Bake oven!â€

I agree.

--Changed original Content, as to be productive and not spam.--
I'm not exactly sure what to say. Some of the new members tend to make themselves well known. However, I'm not really in the place to look down on their actions.
However, it is undeniable that the board's state currently is in a depression. Whether it be clashing personalities, or immaturity of members and what not. I just think eveyone needs to cool down a bit, and possibly think about what they're actually posting. Quite often, that is the remedy to much of what others post.
So, yeah, in a round about way, I do generally agree with you, Lizard Dude.

there is a second way, but hard ay to stop n00bs.
We need a phpBB, and the main users(sp?) must become mods there.

1. You spelled "users" correctly. Good job!
2. Remember, n00bZ are good, it's Crazy Newbies that are bad.
3. Due to the speed of the Information Age, even you are pretty much a Good Old MemberTM, Sapphira.

-
How long must you be actively posting here to be a Good "Old" Member? 6 months? A year? What defines that? Either way, I've met both requirements(1 year, 5 months).
-
Sweet. I've only been here 3 months (and 4 days), and already I'm a considered a Good Old Member(tm)!

I have about the average age here.
And GOM refers to how long you've been on the boards, NOT how OLD you are. :P
--------------------
Deep inside us all is a little green elf telling us to burn things.
-
The board's current state is sort of...depressing. I've actually been here since day one (Ninth Registered member, if I remember correctly), although I admit that I have basically lived on the AWOL side for a good half of my 'staty'. I really don't have a clue which of these memebers are 'newbies' or not. I greatly dislike the term newbie...It just seems like such a harsh term, like it's descriminating against you for not being there before.
Anyway, there are some methods for getting rid of the 'crazy newbiness', for lack of a better word, that don't involve running to a moderater or the big man. One of the things that comes to mind is not to encourage or provoke them-even if they say or do something outrageous or moronic. You could probably even try to tell them very politely that their behavior isn't appropirate, or that they're being off topic, or that it's generally nice to use decent grammer and stuff. The not provoking the 'newbies' also helps, because if you're not 'rewarding them' with the attention they're seeking, they'll look else where for attention.
Although the crusade for higher standards is a noble one, I don't want to see innocent new comers trampled. TMK Fungi Forums is a place for Mario fans to unite, and well, we could use all the mario fans we can get. It gives the boards blood, makes them live. With a big of help and being nudged in the right direction, I'm certain that they have a good chance of becoming a functional memeber of the Fungi Society. 'Course, there are always those that won't change...Not much you can do about them.
Sorry to ramble, I've picked up that habit lately.
-
I got a plan. If all the n00bs are really one person Deezer can ban just one username's ID and they're all gone.

It doesn't work that way, sadib.
And I wholeheartedly agree with you, Chocobo.

All those people left to another forum and refuse to come back for the most part.
-
I am I considered a Good Old Member. I've been here for roughly 4 months and 10 days.
-
You people are missing the point of the topic, whether or not you're considered a "Good Old Member," or even if such things exist don't matter.
Being a Good member doesn't depend on how long you've been here. No, being a good member depends on the quality of your posts, and your attitude on the boards. A true "Newbie" could be someone whom just joined, or it could be someone who's been here for over a year.
Don't worry about silly titles, just worry about your posts. If you always put an effort forth, then you truely are a Good Member.
-
Yes, thank you Black Mage. I realize I haven't been here very long compared to most of you, but I do believe I'm a "Good Member," regardless of "Old" being in the title. ;)

So the 'Crazy Newbies' are:

stupid monkey(i reckon there the same person)
uvg(hes been here awhile)
thats it i think....
Dark King?is he one?
Evil Geno?
AH ha ha ha ha ha!
You did it!

-
I don't think uvg's one of the Crazy Newbies.
-
I don't consider Evil Geno to be a crazy newbie. A little annoying for posting tons of topics- yes, but crazy no.
-
To be honest, I don't consider Evil Geno to be a Crazy "Newbie," either. I don't even consider him a member anymore.
Of course, that's assuming he's been banned for his, "silver tongue."
-
Okay...I know that I haven't posted in a while, but to the newbies who are out there and happen to read this thread...
*NOTE*
I got in so much trouble when I developed 18(not really) user names and responded to myself, agreeing with myself b/c I thought it made me feel special. WRONG! I totaly almost got banned and got several e-mails from people who said unfriendly things. Now, granted this was when I discovered TMK in middle school, but it's not cool if you get caught.
I'm lucky to still be posting!
So...if you are a crazy newbie, and you know who you are, take my warning seriously, b/c people can become mean!
-
That's true, it's not a good idea, but, you know, in theory, it sounds pretty cool.
I mean, if I had 18(not really) users all agreeing with something I said, even if they were all myself, I'd feel pretty special. It's like throwing your voice to agree with yourself.
Although, it is pretty annoying I guess, and my saying that really isn't going to help the situation any. However, if someone did take the time to create 18(not really) User names, come up with some sort of statement, and have all of the said user names agree with them, I don't think I could complain.*
* - Please don't do that.
-
*grins evilly but resolves not to do anything*
“I’m a stupid fatty and I love to play with my Easy Bake oven!â€

:)
It's only really annoying when you start your own thread and talk to yourself in the 18(not really) personalities, so that it's only you and nobody else. Or that's just creepy!
:)
-
You create 18 defferent users when you have no friends,they are desperate people.(No offence Lola)
AH ha ha ha ha ha!
You did it!

I fist came here about 2 years ago, I was called Cool_126. I was always posting and I wasnt trying to be annoying until one day...
I went to a friends house and we were very bored. I had just finished showing him this cool board.
He thought he had this great idea, he would make an account that we could share, Mario_101!
I thought it would be great, but the next day I saw that he had posted a bunch of junk on the new account about it being me Cool_126 and stuff... so I started posting stuff and then finnaly about a month later I got tired of it so, I created another account yoshi_101 (I had about 5 including this one) and I started doing some more normal posting, but then I got bored again so I went and blew up the place! (pretty mean huh?) and now about 7 months later I came back and decided that its not fun to have every one in your favorite message boards to hate you! so I created a new account and voula! so, too all of you newbies, dont do it, because in the end you will get banned, and every one will hate you.
and I havent officualy said this yet but I am sorry! and I hope you will all forgive me
Yoshi_101
ps: The only way I am still able to post is that I got a new computer, with a new e-mail adress, and I am probably a "bad" old member TM, and a Good new member at the same time!

I've been coming to TMK for over a year but I haven't posted lately. Actually I just started coming to the boards not long ago. I've sent plenty of glitches and questions to this site if that's what you mean by time requirements of a "Good Member."

You want to know something strange? I registered this name about a year ago on these forums, but I just never used it. I belive I made one or two posts, hmm. Anyway, you can trust me not to be an annoying n00b when I post, I always try to stay on topic and always with the sway of the topic. If anything I'd get mad at people for NOT staying on topic. That really annoys me.

But that is by your judgement of who's a zombie and who's not. Actually, in Egypt, they thought that people thought with their heart instead of their brain, so if you're mindless, you can think, except that without a brain you'd be dead, but that's why you have to be a zombie.

BlackMage has NEVER insulted anyone in anyone's posts. You MUST be getting that "Blackmage" character and the real Black Mage mixed up. I am serious; BM has never done that. I've never seen it from him. He simply debates about things. I see NO problem with him.
TEM: He use Black Mage here with the space, but since the chatroom names won't allow spaces or special charatcers, he has to use BlackMage.

That's just Black Mage's way of posting. He debates with really critical views. You just need to learn that he doesn't mean it in a bad way.
The End.
-
Well, what I was saying was that I have never saw any problems with him since I joined or even a little before. Like Markio and I said, he just likes friendly debate, serious at times when he needs to be. But none of it is meant to be bad or taken the wrong way.

I have a solutionary measurement. It doesn't seem at all possible, logical, or anything of a similar matter, but It just might work.
Step 1: Ban all crazy newbies.
Step 2: Quickly, before any crazy newbies can join back again under a new username, remove any existing registration link so that no new member can join.
Step 3: Make the Registration page into a second secret page.
Step 4: At the "Enter Fungi Fourms" page which lists the rules, add a joining request link, where members email the admins and mods to scedule an interview to see whether they will be a good member or not.
Step 5: If an applicant is accepted, allow them acess to the secret registration page, at which point it will be immediately moved so that the new member cannot release the location of it.
Results: Only good members are left in the fourms, newbies are all pre-approved as good members. If banned, people will be unable to rejoin because the registration fourm is hidden.
