Hendrix Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 The Forum Works. Maybe not for you, but for the majority of us, it works perfectly. Callum - I can see where you're trying to come from, yes there are some members who come in and give hassle to new members, but the majority don't. The senior members are senior for one reason, they're helpful and knowledgeable. So, in a roundup type thing - Nothing has happened to new members chat, it is the way it has been since I joined, it lets the people who use good punctuation and are nice and not offencive through. I've probably just repeated everything that's been said, but I was not in the frame of mine to read through four pages of posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Senior members don't rip 'normal' members. Moderators don't rip senior members. Admins don't rip moderators. Yet members rip new members? I never really read NMC, because it's full of the same old shit. Not 'what bike/pads?' I mean, other members generally being dickheads to new members. Yet I've never seen that on any ride i've been on... People are well hard on the internet. I hate the word 'rip' now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Senior members don't rip 'normal' members. Moderators don't rip senior members. Admins don't rip moderators.Nah, OBM is Tomturd's bitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearded Midget Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Edit: Tried your second idea, didn't work. so in other words you blew your cover by being a dick again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callum-Luvs-Trials Posted June 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 so in other words you blew your cover by being a dick again? No, not really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reiff Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 (edited) Name one negative... I honestly can't think of one. If you post well, you get through the system. If you don't, you stay here. It's all down to the user at the end of the day. I never really read NMC, because it's full of the same old shit. Not 'what bike/pads?' I mean, other members generally being dickheads to new members. Yet I've never seen that on any ride i've been on... People are well hard on the internet. I hate the word 'rip' now... there's one negative, the fact that most normal members don't even look in the NMC forum. There are plenty more but im not going to list them all because im not really that bothered. I was giving a different opinion on the subject. I'm not trying to say one way is better than the other because I am neither for nor against. I haven't been around long enough to know weather it works well or not.

JT! Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Name one negative... I honestly can't think of one. The big negative is that some new members that deserve to be validated get over looked. But the pro's outweigh the cons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabiot Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Thats what the o rly owl actually looks like under all the feathers I sure hope not, its disturbing to think there are birds flying around with laser eyes... /end thread derailment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diz Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Was wondering why there was an owl looking at me strangely last nite...i thought he must just be a trials fan but he was probably just using his laser eyes to scan me for potential threat.

Ashley-Wood Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Well this looks like another attempt from you to get validated, but it looks like it aint happening! new members only have been criticised if they have many bad spelling mistakes or make stupid and pointless topics! e.g this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Concussion Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Doesn't look like that to me, he's just asking a question. I do think Callum deserves another chance though as he's shown some maturity since being moved back here. I say give the guy a break as there is now NO chance of him f**king around if he get validated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Concussion Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 I heard he had made another account, but didn't know what he had written. Thought it was something humorous, but that is really bad, maybe not even forgivable... ever! ...I take my naive comment back. :$ Shame on you Callum, you blew it!

Sonny Clarke Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Yep, by reading that you can easily tell hes an attention seeking little boy, although his profile says he's 40... This thread is just a waste of time, someone close it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabiot Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Callum... why did you do that? You had to be able to forsee that creating yet another account and using it to post bullshit on the forum was a bad idea. I mean, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out. What are you doing man? You made that video not long ago, have posted pics and such. You were on your way. You have to realize that you are going to have to work harder (especially now) than anyone else to get validated because of this shinanigans. Come on dude. I had some faith in you.

I don't think its the case of working harder, I think Tomturd said to him once, i quote: "pre-member forever" so he may as well give up now. If i was him honestly i would have turned a new leaf and made a new account months ago other than whining and gagging for attention and creating arguments.

Callum-Luvs-Trials Posted June 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 He made an account the other week That was over to months ago, that's the reason why i'm in here. But since then what have I done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabiot Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 It goes like this Sonny... If he has no hope of ever getting validated, asshatery will ensue. He has no reason why not to act like an asshat then. If he has some hope of getting validated, he may be on better behavior. Sorry to talk about you like you're not here or something Callum. Just... go through a couple of my posts man. I made some decent speeches in my first 20 posts or so. Ride or Die Callum. Make it about riding. If these people don't like you, then f*ck them. Seriously. You don't need their approval for you to know you like or even love the sport. I personally value their opinions and thoughts being a complete n00b and all. Like, do you get what I mean Callum? You only reply to the posts giving you shit and not the ones trying to offer you support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callum-Luvs-Trials Posted June 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 (edited) You only reply to the posts giving you shit and not the ones trying to offer you support.

Sabiot Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Honestly, if I was you I would've probably left by now. No, I wouldn't take crap from people but arguing on the internet is like running the special olympics, even if you win you're still retarded. Plus, people act harder and say things they wouldn't online. I posted a link to John Gabriel's theory of Internet Dickwads. You can find a link to it on www.penny-arcade.com (really good comic website by the way) Forget what people say, if you post a new topic and all it has in it is a short paragraph and then pics and videos of you riding (I still don't think I've seen many of you personally) then what can people say? Try not to take it to heart, some people I can understand being pretty hard on you... some made this site what it is today and it's their home; Whether they are mods, admins, new, senior or full members is irrelevant. Don't let it get to you. This sort of topic was just a molotov cocktail dude, you were gunna get flamed. Especially after that new account www.somethingorother.com I cant remember the exact name. Anyways, like I said in the last post. Make it about riding Callum. This is a place about riding for riders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
