Yo Lil. Now we all know how my little start went down. I just want to put my view across as to a suggestion on perhaps how to allow a newbie to come in "clean" (so to speak).

Now ok granted my entrance wasn't the most gracefull but we live and learn.
As a introduction into joining, a "code of conduct" page/popup should come up and must be read by the newbie before walking in the door. Showing what will be tollerated and what won't be. More importantly if they need any further help they should be steered towards a mod.

Also perhaps a newbie camp should also be put in place. Where the newbies can have a platform to go from. So they can all "meet" chat and such and such. This platform will also enable them to develop the correct skills/conduct etc for the rest of the site. Also if they have any concerns or they wish to say something but are not sure if it will go down the right way with the rest of the community. Now obviously a mod would be required to watch over the group until such time the mod feels that they have sufficient exposure to venture out on their own.

I know it sounds as if you may be babying them, but it would only be used for those who really are struggling or are raising a few eyebrows.

Having already posted over 100 myself so far I have gotten the "groove" of the site now. Sure I will faulter a bit here and there, but I am past that initial start. So I am not sure if this has helped, but I do hope that it is taken in the correct context.
