Unspoken rules

[badwhale]

What's with all the unspoken rules on this forum? I've lurked for a while and noticed that new members get run off in droves because they talked about this before they posted here, or they recommended that before they earned credibility, but to earn credibility you have to do something or other, etc. Some have been especially rude to those with language challenges.

You should try to welcome new members, not drive them off.

What new members? What droves? Which have been treated rudely with language barriers (most I recall were spammers?)

Oh, and thanks for the advice, newb.

I lurk several sites that are "very welcoming" and "very accepting" of everyone. The problem with that is "everyone" isn't worth it. I like it here because douchers, spammers, & scammers never last long. All that you have seen run off will fit into at least one of these three categories.
