So recently, we've received an influx of people asking questions, and in the past few days we've gotten threads such as this, and most of my posts have been telling people to go look at the sticky.
Then someone, who isn't a regular to these parts (can't think of a better word), comes in and says "I don't agree with you, stop yelling at these people, that's all you "elitists" do." Multiple times. Over and over again. I don't care AT ALL for the Karma system (so don't direct me to site feedback), but when all of my posts relevant to the subject at hand in OTHER threads, maybe me analyzing a WWS, whatever, get Sub-Defaulted, it makes me wonder.
Why am I posting it here instead of a more relevant area, you might be asking? I'll tell you. So I go to look at my posts, and I that I yell at some person to look at the sticky, around a week or two ago. I did that before too, probably for more than a year. Its rated Excellent (Therefore, someone must agree with me). Then weeks go on, Xsarus/Aethien are saying tone it down, the other guys like Zebug, Rinkkel, just random regular guys, are all agreeing on the stupidity of people asking questions that could be found in the Sticky's index. But if someone from some other board see's me flipping out, decides to rate me down, sees me in another thread, and does the same (with complete lack of apparent reason), because they have developed some hatred, or vendetta against me, what's the point?
I realize that this is going to sound like more drama that these boards don't need, or me complaining about the Karma system, but it isn't. Sure, a bunch of you are going to come in and say "You yelled at them you had it coming", go ahead, not what I'm hinting at.
I'M JUST TRYING TO SAY THAT WE NEED A CONCRETE SOLUTION FOR THE PROBLEM OF NEW/UNINFORMED MEMBERS DISREGARDING THE STICKIES AT THE TOP.
I'm ready for flames, but if anyone wants to offer ME suggestions of what I/other regulars should start doing, then I would be grateful.
