Flaming: Yes it's so bad it has it's own thread...

[Ne0]

It's come to my attention that recently, with all the new members we've had, some of us older members, i'll say "veterans" of the ZV forums, have been flaming the n00bs for some unacceptable reasons. Please, don't forget, we were all n00bs once, and I know it's hard to deal with them sometimes because they usually ask and do the same thing all the other n00bs before them do. But I ask you kindly to just deal with it and help them out as much as you can with kindess and not being rude or obnoxious. The reason I am saying this is because slowly with all the users we are getting, we are becoming more and more like Bob and George forums. The positive and negative ways of the BnG forums. The positive ways being we're being recognized as a pretty popular spriting community, just like BnG. Negative ways like being rude to the n00bs, flaming others, not giving eachother the proper respect we all deserve, etc. I, personally, do not want to become like the negative part of BnG because it's things like that which destroy friendships, strike a match on things like racism, sexism, and discrimination in general. So with all that said, and I think I speak for all the staff members of ZV, please stop the flaming the n00bs and all other users in general. We are not BnG, we dont flame users because their spriting skills are not as good as the next spriter here. I hope this lecture has some kind of effect on the community, in a positive way of course.

Don't start pointing fingers. That won't help anything. Everybody's been pretty slack about following the rules lately, double posting, spamming, and flaming. And if it keeps up this forum will get out of control. Zero Virus is growing, slowly but surely. But I will not see it grow out of control. The rules are posted for a reason, so go and read them, and follow them. That's all we ask.

mhmm.. and dont ban ppl for no reason (referring to neo who banned chaos(who still has the ban for some reason))

How am I a person who calls people newbs?

I didn't ban him for no reason, i thought he was the one who stole cyber. i was misinformed, so sue me *shrugs*

Being a newbie isn't a crime. I remember my days as a newbie and well...we were all newbies back then but that was Role Playing, sorta different in many ways. Though I think if you're new to a new message board we shouldn't judge cause how do we know you're not l337 from somewhere else? =P

*blinks* if he said what i think he said..... then yes

[BlazerX]

I wonder if there is penalty for flaming... There should be cuz flamming is very bad. I really hate it. Just because your better now doesn't mean they can't be better than you in the future. I was lucky because I didn't post in this forum until I had been spriting for a while, thus Vilex or one of the other members didn't call me a noob.

And a little off topic, but Atom, y did you call me a flamer?
