Anti Newbie Bias

Featured Replies

Is it just me, or is the quality of newbies getting crappier and crappier every day? I've noticed this over the last two months. Everytime I see a post that is particularly asinine, futile, misses the point completely, or generally rubbish I know that if I look to the poster's profile, it will show he has less than 30 posts.

So what's all that about then?

Ban the buggars I say.

When I joined I was brilliant from my very first post. I radiated wit, humour, intelligence and sex appeal. No, really I did. Honestly.

These new oiks offer nothing.

Apart from entertainment value when you rant about them :o

However, I have noticed on the dear Patters Board, an increasing number of posts with hidden objectives. Could well be an infection of multi-name syndrome

Newbies have feelings to Bendy. You remind of the Tin Man in the Yellow Brick Road....

Later Tindix :o

Bednix man! You are SUUUUCH a NOOOOOB

I radiated wit, humour, intelligence and sex appeal. No, really I did. Honestly.

Even though i was a newbie at the time of you joining, i noticed that. Honestly :o:D

Actually, just noticed. It's your 2nd anniversary on TV today. Congrats. :D

What?????????????????

You were crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But stay with it bendix, you're improving by the day :o

BTW, I reckon over the last 3 months TV has managed to attract a prime bunch of fruitloops whom I recognise immediately, being one myself.

So stop complaining and go get 'em.

Anyway, you only posted this thread to get your count up to 2,000, admit it.

Maybe newbies are just "testing the waters" before they get enjoyably arrogant and obnoxious?

Getting four "holidays" before 100 posts in, is the way to do it, you wimps! :o

I consider myself a newbie.

Heres an idea for you Bendix, how about, instead of constantly complaining about the shit threads us 'newbies' start, open a couple of decent ones yourself so that we 'newbies' can contribute and maybe learn something, instead of wasting your time doing exactly what you are complaining about..................posting rubbish.

Just an idea

Now that was rather harsh. :o

But I kinda liked it. :D

hahahaha . .. nice one :o

that's me told.

And to mr bojangles . . .not only two years birthday, but also two thousand posts. From that two thousand, I like to think 3 or 4 added to the collective wisdom of thaivisa. That's not a bad ratio.

Dunno, some members have been around for 5 or 6 years with maybe a 100 posts... a lot worth reading, others have 5,000+ of rubbish.

Another site I belong to was considering doing away with numbers of posts attached to names.

Others have 950 of pure poetry. :o

..and its all downhill from there.

Try to maintain some perspective man. Today marks your 2 year anniversary at TV. Almost anywhere other than here that would still catagorize yourself as a "newbie". Jet's been here, what, 8 months?, and she's been complaining about newbies for 7 of them. Many of the more recent posters are better than some long time posters IMO.

I vote to abolish poxy post counts!

Its giving a lot of memebrs a false sense of acheivement/wisdom/power/greatness.....

You know i'm right!

I'm used to pain from pink pussies.
See!

I rest my case. :D

OK so Bendix is trying to enhance his position as the topdog self satisfied pr*ck of ThaiVisa.

Most of his posts are so "I'm all right Jack and you must be a sad little b*gger" that , were it not for his wittiness , would cause nausea.

I regard this as a total troll thread and hope I have risen high enough out of the water to take the bait.

:o

totally agree with the OP....after Decemer 3, 2003 only crap members joined...ban 'em all!

I like newbies. Us oldies rarely have anything new to add, or have become cynical. They add new energy to the place.

It's a bit similar to that proverb (can't remember who by)

"Every adult needs a child to teach. It's the way we learn"

So for me, newbies maybe new to the School that is ThaiVisa but they can bring much to the class. :o

Some newbies are great, but there does seem to be an increasing number of trollish noobs. Judging by posting styles and choice of subjects, a lot of them emanating from the same rather small group of people who were banned from here a long time ago but keep coming back to stir trouble despite constant declarations elsewhere of how crap it is here.

I guess they do not see the irony. :o

So who was Bendix before he was banned? :o

He was Donz :D

"Is Bendix... Is Good" didn't sound right so he changed his writing style somewhat.

Two simultaneous posters can't be wrong. :o

Nah! Donz was a self-absorbed narcissist but not sardonically inclined.
