ok simple...simple...question....

what the f**k is going on.

what i mean is, we get a lot of "n00bs" here all of the time.
many of them have never been on forums before, and don't know everything about them and all...but come on, why is everyone being so mean to them? i mean...a little mistake, like posting in the wrong forum, and about every single post in that topic is yelling at them about that. someone spells a few words wrong, and they get completely bashed. its like there are 2 sections of people here. you are either a "n00b" and constantly seem to get bashed with like eveything you say, or i suppose you are the "basher". Just because you've been here a little longer than other gives nobody any right to treat them like dirt. What I mean by this, is i understand that some people are jsut "brutally honest" in a sort of mean way...but does everyone whos been here over a month have to be like that? when i first came here, everyone was so nice. I'm serious. I hadn't seen anything negitive for a long time. then, im not really sure what happened, but its like being a bitch to everyone, was some sort of way to earn respect. but lets face it, many of the people on here are very rude to the newer people. people get so mad if a topics in the wrong spot, or they "tYp3 LyK D1s!!11!!1!one!!!1!!!11one!!" or whatever. all i ask, is can we show a little respect for one another? lets be a little bit more mature? =/

I just wanted to make this topic...because of my opinion of how i feel everytime i come here. i see so many mean things, and i want to reply, but i feel like i'll become the center of the bashing. and please respect my opinion. thanks.

also- there is a difference between confronting someone if they really do make a mistake, and yelling at them. personally, i think they will listen better by confronting them in a reasonal mannor.

btw- this topic was not directed towards any individuals at all. just a bunch of people in general.

don't be scared to reply.

[cmgchica717]

I have noticed that myself as well. It is rather sad Why cant we all just get along people hehe

[swe3txprincesz]

i've noticed it too...but i mean there not that harsh. are they?

[*jooleeah*]

yeah, i agree. it happens even in the pictures forum. like, there was this one topic with the ghosts and everyone starts bashing on them and saying " IT'S NOT REAL YOU'RE STUPID" blahblahblah. gooodneess.

[teenprincess]

I'm not a basher or a bashee. But I agree, people who bash other people piss me off. I remember one time when I was semi new some girl said that I made a topic that someone else also made even though I made it before that person, and she called me a n00b. So I started yelling at her and yea she didn't reply back.

[LiNHy POO]

yehh i do agree, its not like they do anything to bother anyone else purposely. juss some people make a big deal out of it when it really isnt nessasery.

[*Kathleen*]

You're not the only one who completely feels that way. Honestly...I don't believe I've ever been mean to newbs. I think I mocked the majority of the picture threads in the picture forums once, but that wasn't directed towards newbs themselves. Gah. They can't help that they're new. I mean...we were all new at one point.

[NatiMarie]

Yes I completely agree. Some people are just so RUDE and MEAN to the noobs. They have no superiority over anyone. It's ridiculous and they look stupid because not only are they showing how cowardly they are by making fun of people over the internet, but also that their self-esteem is low so they need to bring it up by bringing people down.

I don't think I've been rude to noobs...and I don't plan to. They're new and I mean, would you go back to a place where they treated you like scum? I don't think so.
:P

[Looow]

yes I do agree. Like somebody said "I'm not a basher or a bashee" ..well same with me. This does need to change but oh well just deal with it.


But sometimes..there are people that just piss others off.

[*tweeak*]

sorry, didnt mean to double post

[*tweeak*]

btw- this topic was not directed towards any individuals at all. just a bunch of people in general.

yes it was, you can admit it. so i say some stupid stuff when im mad. ive just been really stressed lately, and i have a tendency to take it out on other people, sorry. i should really stay offline when im in that kind of mood, but its my stress relief, because otherwise i end up bitching at friends, which comes with bigger consequences. so ive definitely been taking it too far, and ill try not to, youre right

It's ridiculous and they look stupid because not only are they showing how cowardly they are by making fun of people over the internet, but also that their self-esteem is low so they need to bring it up by bringing people down.

but i do have low self esteem, and ill be the first to admit it. oh well. i will make an effort to stay off forums until im in decently humane moods

[*krnxswat*]

Yeah; I concur. I hate bashers.













Oh, the irony!

I wasn't...directing it at you.

:[

Aww...*tries to boost up your self esteem*

:]

[*tweeak*]

good, because i really think everyone hates me now

of course, i dont think kristin ever liked me, but thats not the point

[PinkTrash]

soo lyke true.
I mean, people probably look at wellknown people around here and think, wow theyre being mean to noobs. and they probably think thats cool. so then, they try to put other people down, and think thats the way to be.
no.

[*krnxswat*]

Actually no, I don't think I'm cool because I put others down. I do it because it's fun.
Anywho, it's not like I'm always bashing members. I sometimes give useful advice, it's just that they tend to take it the wrong way.

it is fun, isnt it?

...but i digress

[jennyjenny]

The truth hurts
jk.

But I guess that I bash.. in my head? I don't say it out loud...

[iheartsimba]

thanks for everyone that agreed.

i suppose if hurting other people makes you smile, keep it up

anyway, no nikki, it wasn't directed towards you.
particially, just in recent posts and all...but it wasn't all you at all.
it was jsut my opinion how most the people are acting now..
not just you..

[*tweeak*]

i thought it was in resonse to that thread in pictures. of course i knew it wasnt just to me, because i have of course noticed other people as well, i just thought i spawned it

[*autumn.*]

good, because i really think everyone hates me now

of course, i dont think kristin ever liked me, but thats not the point

i dont hate you. i find you rather entertaining.

[*tweeak*]

i dont hate you. i find you rather entertaining.

well thats good to know :]

[*jooleeah*]

Eh, Nikki, i don't hate you. I'm sure few cB members do...
anyway. why aren't other people posting in this topic?

ugh i so agree

its mostly the newer kids who are jumping on peoples backs....im all hello, im probably an older member then you, dont disrespect!!

[*x____duckii*]

yeah, i agree. it happens even in the pictures forum. like, there was this one topic with the ghosts and everyone starts bashing on them and saying " IT'S NOT REAL YOU'RE STUPID" blahblahblah. gooodneess.

^^ You serious? Well, personally I think the people that said those pictures were fake are stupid because ghosts are real and they can be caught on camera.

Anyhoo, I've noticed that newbies are being treated mean. Geez, what makes people think that they're better?

[iheartsimba]

^ true. I personally got kind of mad seeing everyone bashing the ghost topic. So its a POSSIBILITY that its fake, there is also the possibility that they are real htough... i mean..its nice to express opinions on it but they don't need to be so rude while they do it....the first like 4 people that posted in it ust told him to "shutup"

[inthemudhole]

I have been a bit mean in the chat sometimes.. but I try to be welcoming on the forums.
I have noticed it, too.. more in the chat than anywhere.
The n00bs are always getting booted out of the chat and getting made fun of.
[sigh]
Like Kathleen stated.. we were all new at one point ourselves, too..

[*krnxswat*]

Like Kathleen stated.. we were all new at one point ourselves, too..

Unless you're one of the newer users when there weren't that many people to make fun of you.

[smallcity]

i notice it too
those are meanies but that's the way they want themselves to be
they can hardly change

[gelionie]

I can't say I'm "old" here... but I'm not quite new either.
I guess I tried my best to be friendly here... I can't help if you found me to be mean to you (umm I don't think I ever yelling at anyone here on CB).

[*lolita kitty*]

OMG thats true. I remember when i forst joined, literally, i made a triple post (x_x) and everyone in thw friggen topic yelled at me for it. But then as Brie said, it happens ALOT in the chat. I once wetn it and this person cussed the **** outta me. Then everyone said 'oh hey good job dude'. Then I left. People just need to be nicer these days. Thats all. :)

[*wind&fire*]

yeh i admit ive been mean... but i was pissed for some other reason... and i did get point out to a guy that he spelt a word wrong cos he was an a-hole and he deserved it... but he really wasnt that new.... but i dont do it intentionally because they are ignorant....

[iheartsimba]

yah, a lot of people get like worshipped for "pwning" a "n00b"

Like Kathleen stated.. we were all new at one point ourselves, too..

yah brie thats true...i dont think i was really assaulted though, because i went in the chatroom sometime around when it started. but like one person goes in there asking for a banner or someone to help them, and they get cussed out. is that so right? they just want help. instead of cussing them out we could politly say no, or something i actually do help them [with whati can]...=/

[Shattered_Hope]

i agree that just becuz someone has been there longer than the other person gives them no right to tell them off about something stupid.

[melface]

Without bashers.... they'll be no fun at createblog!



i guess that didn't succeed, did it?

[*autumn.*]

people are always going to be mean. and others shouldn't take it to heart because it's the internet.

[*jooleeah*]

people are always going to be mean. and others shouldn't take it to heart because it's the internet.

Yeah, we know that people are always going to be mean. but the people who are yelling at the noobs should at least have a good reason to be mean. i mean, three spelling mistakes. come on.

[*autumn.*]

maybe they're PMSing. constantly. even the guys.

[*jooleeah*]

maybe they're PMSing. constantly. even the guys.

Haha. But i still don't see that as an excuse. if they have something mean to say, then they shouldn't say it at all.

[mouse_3k]

maybe some people would be nice to the noobs if the noobs stop asking questions like *do you finger urself? why? can i get some tips?* and stupid questions like tht..

[iheartsimba]

^your steriotyping new people! not all of them like that! pervs can be anywhere, n00b or not!! holy moly...


and julia, your completely right

[*autumn.*]

Haha. But i still don't see that as an excuse. if they have something mean to say, then they shouldn't say it at all.

wow that's really ideal, isn't it.

[*jooleeah*]

wow that's really ideal, isn't it.

Hey, it works.



randomness : i love your avatar.

[iheartsimba]

it may be ideal, but thats not how it was before. it worked then. then all of a sudden people seem to think acting like that is somehow going to earn you respect.

[*autumn.*]

perhaps "respect" as in 'i dont want to mess with this person'

jooleah - thanks :)

[iheartsimba]

Your completely losing the concept of this topic.

They act like they should be respected, but people in reality don't want to mess with them..like a said before, they think its a way to earn respect.
I never said it was.

I just made this topic to state my opinions on things, because i don't speak up about it very much. If you want to keep saying the opposite of everything i say, go ahead =/...but if you really think that being means the way to go, sure..

[*autumn.*]

um i wasnt disagreeing with you on the respect part. i was suggesting that maybe they ('mean' people) want that sort of respect, and that's why they're being "mean"/rude

[iheartsimba]

oh ok, i misunderstood, sorry =X and yes that probably true =/
