We all want BPNet to settle down, that's a given. Well I don't think segregation of newcomers is the answer. Stronger and more immediate moderation of these threads going nowhere fast is needed. So is Veterans and Members leading by example. We Veterans arse around in a lot of threads and that does set a tone. Threads that don't get locked and tossed or warnings strongly and publically given set a tone.

Sorry folks but for me I always look first to what I'm doing to make or break a situation. It's a bit too easy for me to just "blame the noob". Sure we've had some tools lately and sure we've likely come across as a place to get away with it and a place where long time members can act like tools even if we perceive it to be in good fun. It isn't even about how we perceive it, most of us know each other reasonably well through this board...but how does a newcomer perceive it.

I guess what I'm saying is look at the pre-existing membership and leadership. Can every one of you honestly say that lately we are setting our expectation high and enforcing that expectation so that your average idiot feels that their games are unwelcome and will most likely naturally wander off.

Sorry if any of you feel offended by this post. I'm not out to offend or chastize. I am willing to stand up however and take responsibility for my own part of this problem through either my actions or lack thereof.

While I don't take offense, even if I should, I think you are way off on this one. The veterans here didn't create the problem and the joking around and off topic behavior isn't furthering the problem. That is my opinion, take it as you like
