I'm new. No one has said anything mean or even remotely mean. I am just one person however and am not entitled to say one way or another, I'm new here.

I avoid making threads until I see which threads come often. An OP wasn't my first post on this website. I'm too afraid I'll make myself look stupid if I make a thread anyway.

Well, I'm back on duty for a bit, so we'll start with you.

Your only redeeming quality as a sentient being is the fact that I never have to come in contact with you again.

I haven't been near a forum in years and this one is just spiffing. You guys are stand-up gents. (And gent...women.)
Now for yours.

You are such a shining example of how to fail at being an intelligent person that scientists should make a case study out of you.

Nobody was mean to me. Nobody welcomed me either but nobody was mean. Possibly because I read the rules first and have been very careful not to break them.
Last one for now.

You repulse me so much that if it weren't for the fact that I'm trying to give out insults too all the new people, I would cut my hands off to prevent any chance of running across you for the rest of my life.

All that said, thanks for being good new posters, and I wish you all a good lifespan on this wonderful site!

Anybody who was/is going to say anything mean to him(or her, not sure, not worth looking for) don't. They said at the end something nice, probably gave them cancer saying something nice but still.

Well, I've been doing this joking insult thing since last night. Any time a new guy says that they haven't been abused, I jump in to provide it, in good humor.
So far, I don't think anyone has gotten upset about it.
*crosses fingers*

This happened to me today. There was much mean slinging of words and sure the guy seemed instantly retarded but he only had five posts under his belt and then the thread got locked. People clearly are too uptight on this site which surprises me because everyone has the internet (and thus limitless pornography) so just go have a wank and you'll feel better...
yaaaay!!!
I think that were a bit mean to them, but not too harsh.

No offense, but the choices kind of suck, I was going to say no, but the words after No changed it's meaning completely.

I don't think we are mean to newcomers, I think we are mean to everyone, no prejudice~

I remember hearing of that guy. He inspired a poll called "Biggest Troll On The Escapist". The guy who made it was put on probation and the guy who did those t-rexes was banned from here as well.

T agree with you though. Sometimes people just don't realise the search bar's there. It even took me a while to notice it when I joined, but I make very few threads so I guess that's slightly okay for me.

But then you have people like him, like certain trolls I've met in my time (No names mentioned, they've been banned though) and just certain people who want to ruin this website "for the lulz". It's people like them that should be treated harshly and strictly.

Exactly.

To be honest, I was being stupid, and the first thread I ever posted was done a million times over... it's just that I read all the "use the search bar" thread answers, which offer no real info... and typed all of my questions into "The Escapist" search bar instead of the "Forum Search Bar" .... it's confusing for new people.
