Hello ngu,
just wanted to make a thread which quickly grabbed my attention a few weeks back. Ever since the site has had a large number of Registrations since last month, the increase has caused more people, which = more hate towards the "noobs." I thought it was fine at first, but i've realized that their has been a large amount of people on here mentally abusing other members with using slang language towards them or talking down on them... like they're actually better then the other person. I have not been in this situation myself, but if someone were to start this with me, it wouldn't end well on their part. I feel that we NGU are a community- a brotherhood, and should not have the need or desire to put one another down for no purpose. If someone asks a question in a thread, even if you feel it is idiotic, please support their question and answer it the best you can. If you think about it, helping them out with be the start of that individual alerting others to join the community and so on...
Verbal abuse should not be a part of who we are as a group of people and i think we should all have respect for each other, treat the next guy like you'd want him to treat you... people don't forget about the time you helped them out.. but they remember when you were a complete asshole for no reason. This thread was made by me 100% because I want to better the community and for each one of us to act in a more mature/ friendlier way.
You guys may agree or not, but i'm just putting my input in and my perspective of viewing the shout box and mainly throughout threads through my time here on ngu with a majority of member talking down to other members.
thanks for your time, and i hope this matter changes promptly :bro:
This has some truth to it, it is really stupid that people think they are superior because of a number, whether it is rep, post count, date joined, vBux, or having a special rank (ie staff).
