Why are people so SENSITIVE on this forum?

[Adam Chandler]

If you don't like what us NOOBS ask...why come in with slick comments and when we decide to address it, we either get a warning, get rep points deducted, or the forum vets come in WITH NEGATIVE FEED BACK? Is the internet that serious? I like the forum, but this is not the only helpful forum out there. Let us New people ask questions without all that nasty feed back and slick comments.

If this is a serious thread then it sounds to me like you are one that's being a little over sensitive.

If you are looking for info on this site you are going to find it. This site is full of very intelligent, experienced and helpful Ball Python keepers that contribute.

If you present your questions and comments in a well thought out, respectful way then you are typically going to get well thought out, respectful answers. If you choose not to present your questions and comments that way then that's fine, just don't be surprised or insulted with the responses you get.

In the short time you have been here, you have pushed a few buttons. Creating thread after thread about things that have been discussed at length. Use the search function. Spend a little bit of time thinking about your questions before you post a new thread. Try to put a few questions into one thread so that we don't have to bounce all over the place to answer your questions.

I think the caps lock also bothers some people. To me, it seems like you are just looking for attention.

I don't believe you are a bad person or anything, perhaps just immature and bored.

Are you seriously 12? If so, that would explain a lot. That being said, I've met 12 year olds on the forum with a much higher maturity level

There are many factors attributed to this.
1. It's the Internet
2. Because it is text only with a limited amount of smilies it shard to see the real meaning behind te stately. 97% of what humans try to communicate is via body language, and the lack of body language and hearing the tone of voice makes it hard to discern if someone is joking or serious.
3. The new people don't bother reading the stickies and the care sheets provided by the forum which makes it frustrating for everyone. 80%+ of the questions can be answered by reading the stickies, care sheets and using the search function. Hell you can google it and find the answer but some people just IMMEDIATLY start asking questions without research.
4. Some people just ask the same question and when they don't get an answer or get an answer they don't like they keep posting it over and over.
5. It's the Internet
6. Did I mention it was the Internet?
7. Proper grammar. People should have the decency to properly capitalize their sentences with reasonable punctuation. TYPING IN ALL CAPS IS VERY ANNOYING and typing liek dis maks it vry herd to undrstnd and Pplz dont want 2 halp u.
8. People have to read the forums a bit before posting to get the flow of the forum. You have to learn what is acceptable, unacceptable and just plain distasteful. I'm sure productive debates is welcome but when people go around saying "LOL FEEDING LIVE IZ AWESOME CUZ I LIEK WATCHING IT FOR FUN EVERYONE LETS GET PIKTURZ AND VIDS ABT IT. FEEDING F/T IS FOR SCAREDY CAT NOOBS" No one is going to like that.
9. Bringing up controversial things that just pisses people off that have no point in discussing ex: what's better racks or aquariums? Or live vs f/t.

Oh! Yes, Steffe hit a nail on the head there!

The way your forum titles are, and the sheer volume of them, reminded me of a 5 year old bouncing up and down asking 30 questions a minute. I'm not saying you ARE a 5 year old, it's just the way my head wrapped around it. I gave it a chuckle and kept on truckin', I have a 3 & 6 year old, so it doesn't irritate me that much, but I did notice it.
I also took it as endearing in some way, as I get overly excited when learning as well. (Ask TJ on that one. I ramble on like a child haha) I'm sure it was more excitement than anything else, but it can be misconstrued as immaturity.

We aren't vets like you when it comes to snakes. Get out of the house and breath people. Thanks

and i'm sure...i will get a warning or something slick...let's sit back and wait.

I too have question sometimes I wonder why people can face the consequences of their actions or the words they are using

Rudeness and name calling seems to be your thing, don't be surprised because people do not agree with it and show their disapproval. In other words you reap what you sow.


Now

Rep point are YOU being judged by your peers.

Getting an infraction: This is YOU violating OUR TOS in your case it was because of your language and it was a ZERO point warning to remind you of OUR rules and not an infraction. Don't break the rules and you will not get any infraction.

Communication skills, they'll help you immensely.

You've created numerous topics with little to them other than a single question. Not a problem in and of itself, but I'm going to 2nd the statement that it makes you come across as someone very young, and very bored. RANDOM caps lock USAGE in your TOPICS also just makes it seem like you're shouting, and with responses like "lol" "cool" "lmao" "pics?" etc and very little else, it just seems like you don't give a crap about what you're asking or the answers you're being given.

This is my interpretation of how you've presented yourself since you've started using the website. You don't seem like a bad person/troll or anything, but if you want people to take you as more than a bored young person with no vested interest, maybe try and fill out your responses more, read a bit, and share more than a sentence as to what's going on in that cranium thing (Steffe and Tiffany are voices of reason in this thread, and phrased it better, but I took a stab at it)

Best of luck
