Noobs and new members: Reject or Accept?

[ritat]

So as the title says: Would you reject or accept noobs or new members? I bought up this question because so many experienced people in the game reject newbies (I don't really like the word noobs). It is sometimes upsetting for me to see people who are excited to play with other people nicely, rejected in a rude and disgusting way. For example, the other day people started bullying a new player in the game just because of their characters look and the lack of grammar, so I had to come up and type 6 long paragraphs teaching them how to respect new people. In what I think, everybody should be brought up forward to do things, even if they are new. Who knows, maybe those new players are intelligent and kind.

Anyone want to add on?

It honestly depends on person to person.

Typically, I accept, because I find it hard to say no, but they do end up leaving of their own accord because they don't understand some things.
I do try to keep my groups mostly consisting of experienced members but, I do accept newer guys. They gotta learn the ropes somehow.

You'll be right, newbies are not necessarily "bad", they can be kind and friendly.

In RPs, owners (of that roleplay) usually prefer to accept a more experienced FH player than a newbie, because newbies do not have that big experience with FH, they cannot download maps, presets etc. It pretty much annoys the RP owner. They would rather kick that newbie, instead of showing him everything important. (<--my own experience)

On the other hand, everyone was a newbie.

Wow 6 long paragraphs? How did that turn out?

Anyway I always enjoy talking to new members. New members are like the sweetest things unlike some users since they finally have their little group and friends. I completely hate show off. I would really enjoy finding someone who was calm and just straight cool. Anyway, I would say I accept new members.

Some newbies get a bad rap 'cause they are usually younger and are not the greatest at spelling. I for one, accept the new members. Sure, they can be annoying with their pleads for a mate or ridiculous sparkle fairy lions, but really, we were all one of those newbies as well, just different in age or the year we joined.
I see no reason to be biased against them.

It's so nice to see all you guys expressing your acceptance and extensive opinions about new players. Yes, obviously new players need to learn the ropes somewhere, and I don't know about you, but have you ever tried to learn the REAL ropes at Bonfire? IT'S HARD! Generally that's where younger players stay, but as for the ones who don't, lets all keep welcoming them and stick up for them c: That's what we're about, a friendly role-playing community and environment!

I agree with everyone of you, it's a good thing you all accept every person who enters the game, that's important because if you do, it means you know how to sacrifice and give.

I would accept and support in any way I could with a new member, no matter their age or maturity. Everyone has a flaw and talent and as long as you have the patience and time to teach them and have them learn something new is always a great step forward. No one should be rejected upon who they are, what their name or user-name is and how they often react.

You're right Toasty, that's what my mother exactly told me. <3 Everyone has something very nice is them, also flaws but we should always see the positivity.

+Nuzzle for you.

In all honesty, if I was to come across a newbie (I myself am one) then I would not actually be afraid to be open-minded on how they act to the community. It really depends on how they talk to me or my friends, and other people.
For example, if they were to come across as nice and mature and happy to make friends; then I'd joyfully talk to them and help them get the basics of the game. They don't deserve my "bad" side if they're trying to be kind and want to have supportive friends that will help them through their problems.
If they were to come across as rude and immature and horrible to the community; then I'd just be that way to them but in a calm and hopefully modest manner. I can't tolerate bullying and rudeness and lack of etiquette these days (it's my age you see cx). If they're going to show such inappropriate behaviour to everyone else, then why should they have kindness in return? I don't see the point in trying. However, I wouldn't say anything that I know will lead to an argument, as I don't need that stuff in my experience with FeralHeart.

Overall, the phrase "treat people how you want to be treated" comes into play. I'll stick by that.
