I would definitely have to agree with this, especially the parts in bold. Below are two of my previous posts from another thread, the message is the same.


There's no need to be nasty to newbies. You may not realize it stringfellow but a considerable amount of your posts have become very immature in nature & filled with personal attacks. I didn't expect that these kinds of posts would come from you, coz you're very knowledgeable and a lot of your posts are actually very very contributive. Knowing a lot is very good, but it does not give you the right to be nasty to the new ones. Don't go saying I'm new here I don't know how it feels like (which has repeatedly been your excuse to be rude). I know what it's like. Repeated threads suck. I just ignore them. Please lah. The people at Genius Bars know a whole lot more than you, I'm sure they face newbies all the time and get bombarded with repeated questions day in day out. Do they have the right to be rude? NO.

MODERATORS, in my opinion you guys should react more promptly when repeated threads pop up. You'll have to be firm with the newbies as well. Point them to the relevant threads, then delete the repeated ones. The merge function is also there. If you guys leave it as it is the so called 'professionals' would just flame, flame, and keep on flaming.

Everyone here: moderators, 'professionals', newbies, should check out the rules and regulations at MacTalk Australia.

Allow me to quote several parts that I think would be applicable here in LYN:
I'm not saying that I'm perfect. I wouldn't be surprised if someone here would dig through my past posts and find some faults, quote that post,  and say 'practice what you preach'. In fact I'm expecting it already, based on how things have been going in here. Happy hunting.

May Apple Byte and its iPhone sub-section be a better place.
