Noobs and new members: Reject or Accept?

[Romeo]

Accepting the is always the best thing to do, tbh.
After all, all of u were newbies at one point! If you lend 'em a paw, they'll grow in any way- whether it be roleplaying, or maybe help them develop some social skills!
Help the new guys out. Too often I see people treating them like garbage and it's seriously messed up- don't be that person, haha,
(sORRY IM REALLY BAD WITH WORDS)

I always love chatting with new members. I remember it took me  a while to get settled, so why not spare them the same trouble? Of course it may be more enjoyable talking to more experienced players that you've seen around the forum a bit, but I try my best to accept new players just as much. As for those who reject them, I honestly see no rhyme or reason. Everyone, even the staff, were new to the game at some point, and you have no right to abuse them just because they are new.

Whenever I look upon who I assume to be a new player,
I can only think back to the first time I ever joined FH and the kindness that
other players showed to me in the game and the forums, and yes I was young then.
Did I make the right decisions socially all the time, no.
In fact I think I made the wrong decision more than the right one,
but other people here helped me and with time I became a better person.
So with that said I always try to treat new players with the same treatment I was given,
 no matter how rude or immature they may seem. ^^'

I for one both accept and somewhat turn down newer ones.

Accepting:
Their usually friendly and just looking for some new friends to pal around with. I completely understand! I was once like them on FH c: Not everyone is packed with friends and multiple requests. I enjoy seeing new faces in the community, it means it's growing and more people are becoming interested. Why not lend a paw if they want help ay?

Declining:
Some are natural registered trolls. This is the only reason i'd reject a newer user. If they want to troll around with you, and/or annoy you on purpose, it's not the right position to accept them in my mind. Yeah it's fun, but not for the other user involved.

I see everyone's standing here, and completely understand. It's anyone's choice to accept or decline a new user.
If they need help, why not lend em' a paw? ^^'

I agree.
Many a can get easily annoyed by new players because of the 'lack of grammar' or how their character looks.
As much as my group cannot stomach it, I have to remind them that they must respect them at all costs.
Just because being rude to the newbie only proves your a jerk.

I'll move this to the Game Discussion Board since it seems more appropriate there.

Just a heads-up for the future, if you're going to add a poll to the thread, please provide options to choose from, or see that the poll is relevant to the topic.

i agree totally- i'm not even shocked at this point that people do this.
we should all make it our job to help, encourage and befriend new people. if someone asks the way to flurito plains, you don't snort and ignore them because their too 'nooby' for your standards. no, you politely show them the way to flurito plains and leave it at that. after all, you were a newbie too, and if their ever going to learn the ropes; someone needs to be there to show them how!

You are all such kind members! Gosh that is so good to hear! I like the fact that you accept members no matter what, it really shows you are welcoming and kind. Looks and language really doesn't matter as you said.

Thanks for the heads up, but I think this belongs to both game and forums discussion because new members appear in both the game and forum. And I didn't want to add any options/questions.

You're right, this is a community discussion which means it could either be in Forum or Game Discussion.

But do keep in mind that our little Mod in Training is still learning, so in this case we don't really mind if it is moved. Even though it could have stayed in one place, she's only trying to do good and go with her gut feeling.

She does know now that Community threads like these (that don't have a specific topic to either Forum or Game but is related to FeralHeart) can stay in one place.

She's still learning and is doing really well so far, a little move like this won't harm anyone~

Of course, I didn't mind at all. :O Mistakes are mistakes, everybody does them.
