Esato elitism and smartassedness
http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=76795
YOU PEOPLE SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES. What are you trying to do, drive away new members? itrs a perfectly reasonable question, if thats what the person wanted to know, we should help him, not flame him. This elitism and acting like smartasses, especially towards new members, disgusts me. Who do you think you are? Just because you've made a few posts, doesnt make you better than someone who has just joined. Is this the way to welcome new members to the esato community?

i agree! A
smiley isn't bad, a
and some links is better, but it pisses me off when people post stupid comments like "is there a rtfm smiley?"
what about we get a stfu smiley? The last thing we need are pretentious gits whose purpose in posting on esato is just to talk crap.
And no, you're not funny, either.
*csiab smily here*
(could'nt say it any better)

Hell any member bashing is lame, new or old.. If you're just out to take a cheap potshot, do it in PM or better yet, just don't bother at all.
I hate it when forums I enjoy turn to mindless crap because thats all people can contribute to threads they didn't really need to post in in the beginning or had no interest in.
Bravo meths, new posters can always feel put off by "older" posters..
I also REALLY hate that Natasha beddingfield song. Picking her for 1-3 hit wonder at most.

@meths - I agree with you totally on that point, I myself have just joined another internet forum (a Tolkien/Lord of the Rings one!), so am therefore a 'newbie' there, and it is daunting seeing all the different posts, different topics, the depth some of them go into, and some of the threads which look almost 'old hand' only threads, a bit like walking into a strange pub and all the locals seem to stare at you and it goes silent!
Anyway, I'm dragging this off topic! Any more 'gaaaah' moments?

@Meths. Good on ya mate for stickin up for newbies.
I don't understand people who buy the latest phone just on looks alone, regardless of how crap the phone actually performs.
The reason why Esato is great is because newbies can come here and be educated and it is very easy to be scared off or feel daunted.
If you don't believe me then look at the amount of members that have made just 1 post...

Here's another one - Hackers!
A thread, seemingly started and/or answered by another hacker,
here (unless that thread gets deleted by a mod!). I mean what do these people actually do this for? To boast? For money? Or do the really have nothing better to do?
Why can't these idiots use their talents for good - like teaching underpriveleged people to use PCs, earn a bit of money helping make software and the 'net more secure (though if they all did this there'd be no hackers to guard against - wouldn't that be nice!) or even devise a way to kill spam before it gets to your inbox! But no, they have to bring down websites, inconvenience millions of people just for a few cheap thrills and bragging rights. GET A (useful) LIFE YOU MORONS!!!!
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!

Admittedly itīs the best way to recommend yourself for future employers - itīs unbelievable to see all those nasty worm and virus programmers now are enrolled and high-payed by norton, mcaffee or even microsoft itself..
Whatīs next - shoot people to become weapon manufacturer?

Another one - new postings in the 'playtime! rules!' thread - every time this thread is reanimated and shown as new post my hard stops to beat for half a minute or so until my brain sorts out that it is NOT a new playtime.. arrrgh!

Gmail requests
theres a thread for all gmail requests, and offers. Use it. All those gmail things everywhere is just clutter, no need for it.
