Protectionism of the weak?
Perhaps its good intentions... but to what extent? We groom a strawberry generation wanting spoonfeeding?
I have another contructive feedback for the admin team. Separate section for the kidgloving. Amnesty for a month. Then welcome to the real world. Though i believe ppl grow up faster in adverse environments. Character building.

Re: Some words from your admin...
Radon! u make me want to poke my eyes out.
Not spoonfeeding, but grooming instead.
Real life example: when noob ask the same old basic questions. we can just say: "Use the search function. it's all there. "
We don't advocate hand holding by copy & paste every ding dong that was discussed for them.
How about this culture? Play nice. But don't spoon feed?
Now before MW report me for going back to old topic, I already gave Ryan some choices for BBQ venue:
1) Ryan's Living Room
2) Ryan's bedroom
3) Ryan's Kitchen
4) On top of Ryan's lambo
Not sure what he will choose lar.. hehe...

Re: Some words from your admin...
I guess I could share my experience from a different social perspective, if this is only unique to me.
Say if I were to attend a black tie event. All socialites, the who-and-who. No nonsense. I will thread carefully throughout and blend in by following (or pretend to follow) topics from Sentosa properties to the newest F458. Boring and atas? Yes, but I have to figure and feel out the undertone of the function.
Then I attend a company event. Same, less formal but I still have to thread carefully, learning along the way. Boring, yes, but I respect the bigger cultural undertone. I adapt, or pretend to.
Am I the ONLY ONE thinking and behaving this way?
I doubt so.
Do I need to be "protected" to the black-tie event or the company function?
Of course, when I attend a friend's party with all animals and full of nonsense, it is different. I blend in by showing my natural self. Pour beer on chicks and play strip poker with the girls and what not.
Cause I have already know who they are and their naughty culture.

Re: Some words from your admin...
I believe a lot of ppl nvr do research on things they buy. B4 i bought E39, i have been lurking here for a long time. Despite not getting much support on E39 here, there are things i could learn & improvise on.Meek;993364 said:
Re: Some words from your admin...
Kenn, agree with you in needing to adapt to the changes, or pretend to like it.
on the same note, we attend and pretend to like the 'atas' function because we have to. do we want to? not really.
So from our perspective, we want the 'function' to be the wild, happening party that everyone enjoys. pouring beer over hot chicks and what's what. AND not needing to fear that someone will come bite our ass off.
On the same note, if some freshies comes in and tries some monkey business (pun intended), the party thrower (admin/mod) wouldn't hesitate to unleash the wrath of hell upon them (aka delete thread or ban).

Re: Some words from your admin...
Aren't we all like that in reality?
We wear different hats to different places, we talk different, joke different jokes and talk different talks. In essence, if we are experimenting new things, we thread the ground cautiously and attempt to blend in, in EVERY ASPECT of our social life, as and when we are adapting.

Re: Some words from your admin...
I dun think any one here seriously intends to ignore and go out of their way to be rude to anyone... let alone the newbies.
This forum has spawn and spun off many whatsapp groups which provides additional support and chats for the newbies. So far, members have been helpful. I have personally observed that some are stubborn and refuse to accept good advice becos they think they can do better. Orh bee goot.
As in all societies, there is orientation. Cant expect a royal red carpet... unless there is a hidden chopper at the end of it. Orientation is getting to know ppl in the process, both ways. Ragging (as tofumonkey is discouraging) is bad... but what i have seen is others standing up for the ragged one many times. This is also ecology.

Re: Some words from your admin...
(1) We attend functions both on a need and want basis. Some cases, no choice. Company events, for instance. Can we go in our natural boxers and tight-fitting tank tops and flips flops? No. We have to put on suits and what not, talk as if we are at work. Are we hypocrites? No. We just have to adapt for that few hours.
(2) Imagine a huge party with various groups of animals. Some are wild, some just wanna chill. Hence I proposed various party rooms for all. The jazzy crowd and the beer-soaking bikini group should not be in the same room. See my point?
(3) Admin/mods wear more than one hat. That's the most tricky role in the forum.

Re: Some words from your admin...
woo, great points.
agreed for point 1. New comer should abide by the rules of the forum. Then what happens when they fall short of expectation? unleash hell upon them? or we point them in correct direction (note: not spoon feeding)
point 2. agreed. that's why we should keep the trash talk at our lounge. part of our focus is to keep the threads where ppl are selling stuffs free of OTs.
point 3... yaaah, i was the most hated person for a while (prolly still is) for what i perceived as just doing my job. haha. and so i adapt to the culture lor. bo bianz.
side note: what we're doing now is following a gentlemen's culture and that of the forum. while we have our differences, we can still have a good debate and share our thoughts. Even if we don't reach a consensus at the end of the day, we wouldn't have gone for each other's throats. that's all we're asking: play nice.

Re: Some words from your admin...
I agree. The wobbles you see here, the handsum, the witty, the engaging ... is all cyberspace ultimate superhero.
In real life, I'm a 90 pound weakling with glasses and a balding hair line. SHIT. That looks like my damn avatar!
That's why I'm shy.
