Some people complain that we coddle new posters too much and some people complain that regulars are too mean. Staff does enforce a welcoming and constructive attitude in the Introduce Yourself forum. We don't want to chase new posters away but we don't want to coddle them either. Please share your thoughts. Inspired by: http://www.collarchat.com/fb.asp?m=4603560 quote:

ORIGINAL: LittleForDaddy31 My advice is to not be so rude to newbies. I get that there's a clique of like 30-35 of you who post here on a regular basis, but you do have trouble seeing beyond your tea cups here, and it should be called out. Actually, my advice would be to tell the newbies to learn to read the fucking ToS, read the sticky posts, browse around and take note of how things are done BEFORE you waltz in and open your gob. This applies to any forum, anywhere, not just on CM. And what do we often see? A newbie that comes flouncing into the forums, bold as brass, spouting as if they know the world and everyone on the forum that doesn't like what they gotta say is either a troll or something equally abusive or obnoxious. WTF?? Where are their manners? Where are those social norms that everyone wants to see? Do they always behave like this in a strange bar or restaurant?? No, they don't. But they think it's ok to do that on the net because... well, it's the net. And then, we get those cotton-wool packers that think everyone needs to be wrapped up and coddled and treated with super-uber softly-softly kid gloves. How dare someone else think they should be grown-up and know how to tow-the-line and fucking behave like an adult!! Oh jeeez no.... we might offend the kiddies. Sorry LFD, your attitude towards a lot of us on here is just... well, stupid and obtuse. To use your analogy: if you don't drink tea, don't go to a tea party. If your skin is too thin to take criticism because you've behaved outlandishly, ignored the site rules and ettiquette, then you shouldn't be on the net let alone an adult kink site.
