#2. Where is this happening? Apart from some joking around I haven't seen anyone SERIOUSLY harassing newbies. My impression is that you're taking this all too damn seriously.

That said, enjoy your stay. OR ELSE.

Translated, stop complaining, accept the way things are, or face the consequences of arguing with people who have been here a year or more longer than you. I understand. I will no longer complain. And thus is the newbie silenced. And so nothing changes.

~_~ I didn't honestly expect anything to change, though. It never does so long as people excuse adversive behavior as 'playful' and accuse those who speak against it of 'whining.' But that's really fine. Any more from me would just be repeating the same thing over and over to people who don't want the way things are to change. There's no point in my doing that.

Arigatomyna, point out the newbie bashing you see and report everyone one of them to the mod box at the bottom of the forum.

If there is really as much as a problem as you claim, it won't take long before the members who are truly flaming new members will get a warning or banned.

So like you say, anything more is just repeating yourself. Phade set up the forum for everyone to enjoy. If people are truly breaking those rules, get them banned, and do something for real instead of trying to blame people in your own thread.

You'll accomplish a heck of a lot more that way.

Arigatomyna, Just saying that i'm sorry if you or any one you know was truely insulted by any of the flames. I'll admit that i've not always been intelegent with my posts, but i don't let flamers get to me. I personally don't believe that anyone truely intends any malace. I've had a pleasant stay so far and hope as much for everyone else here. If you do have someone in particular in mind for malicious flaming try to PM them, let them know that they had crossed the line. Anyways, just trying to help.
