Sue you? Man, if you had money I'm sure you wouldn't be living in a country mostly known for being cold, dark and having enough high places to throw yourself off of to escape the monotony of it all.

in any case, the most you should do for the small fraction of retard lurkers is remind them that there's a forum for requests and where they put it isn't it. If they ask where, tell them to look around. If they ask if you can move it, tell them to ask the mod themselves. That's the way you teach a motherfucker. And when you get sick of being the nice guy, just do what I do and chastise them for being stupid.

I can't see that, which is great because it's probably stupid.

I'm all in favor of the carrot-and-stick method.

1) Kindly offer the newbie the carrot.
2) If they don't take it the first time, then beat them with the stick.

I'd rather beat them with the stick and eat the carrot myself.

Screw it, I'm sick and hungry, I'll beat them with both, then eat both (I'll even eat the newb too, have to get rid of the evidence after all).

I only use the carrot-and-stick method after factoring in the user's nickname, grammar, my current mood and a dice throw.

If the user fails the initial check, I fuck them with the carrot and the stick then dump the shit in a biohazard container.

All this talk about beating me with a stick and fucking me with a carrot greatly arouses me.

Look on the bright side: they gave you some ideas to fantasize a girl with bunny outfit,
playing with her with the stick or carrot (or both perhaps;)

I've gotta say, as a long-time lurker of this thread and the site in general, I can certainly sympathize with you veterans of this forum. Over time, I've seen fun and thoughtful discussion be wholly usurped by aggravatingly inept shitposting. It reminds me of what happened to one of the forums I used to frequent.

It was another one of those Nintendo forums that sprung up to counteract the absolute bullshittery that was (Is? Is.) the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. It had everything; a frontpage with daily Nintendo news, a nifty hub feature so you could chat while playing Mario Kart or Pokemon over the internet, and a bomb-ass moderation squad to top it all off. The site had a lot of thought put into it, and the community reflected that. New users would always be trickling in, sure, but they always respected the rules and were usually cool people. Then 2008 came.

2008 was the year that Super Smash Bros. Brawl came out, and everyone and their sexy grandmothers wanted to play this hot shit online. This meant that our little ol' community got absolutely flooded with new users, ones that didn't give a shit about online etiquette or meaningful discussion. Every thread filled with off-topic posts. You never played with new members because they were guaranteed to be filthy ragequitters. And if I got a bull shark testosterone injection for every time I read "first lol :P" in the comments section of a news post, I'd be on death row for murdering all of the southeastern US. Seriously, the shitposting got so bad that all the old members made a thread demanding that the mods make a board excluding new members. Unfortunately, the admin, the only guy who could tend to this issue was almost never present, presumably tending to his various "responsibilities", such as his "career", or his "family", the turd. When he finally got around to adding a "Serious Discussion" board (read:political/religious wankery), many of the regulars jumped ship, and any modicum of a quality forum with them.

Okay, so I said all that to say this; shit changes. Old users leave, newbies take their place. It's a fact of life just as it is a law on the internet. But never simply accept the dumb shit that newbs do, be willing to take measures to counteract it. Maybe new users are forced to read the rules and then take a test on them. Maybe new users must submit a number of approved galleries before they start to earn GP from them. Maybe there's too much of a focus on having a high post count, lots of karma and a big-ass sig, and not enough on the actual content of a post. If you want that awesome discourse back, you've gotta work for it. You've gotta get Aryan.

Aryan? You lost me with the nintendo rant, you mean Aryan as in:

QUOTE
The English word "Aryan" is borrowed from the Sanskrit word ārya meaning 'Noble'; it was used initially as a national name to designate those who worshipped the Vedic deities (especially Indra) and followed Vedic culture (eg. performance of sacrifice, Yajna). The Zend airya 'venerable' and Old Persian ariya are also considered as national names.


or

QUOTE
In colloquial English, the word has been adopted in accordance with Nazi racial theory's appropriation of the term to describe persons corresponding to the "Nordic" physical ideal of Nazi Germany (the "master race" ideology.


or

QUOTE
In Iranian context the original self-identifier lives on in ethnic names like "Alani", "Ir".[15] Similarly, The word Iran is the Persian word for land/place of the Aryans


Also this.

Yes, the one about about the Nazis. More sites should adopt a "master race" mentality, it really does wonders for morale.
