Something I disagree

I never make any such comments.I know newbies are newbies in Mylot only,and here also they are going to be veterans one day,may be in some months.I am not a newcomer here,still I don't know many things relating to this site.I have learned many things,many valuable lessons from newbies here.So I never make the mistake of discriminating them with veterans.They can teach all of us many things about life.

Hi aqirock! MyLot is a place where you can encounter different personalities. Sometimes, we could get a negative feedback which could affect us in one way or another. Though I agree with you that everyone became a newcomer at some point and no one is can say to anybody that he/she does not know anything but I would suggest that you just ignore those kind of comments. Just share you ideas or whatever you may want to share and if ever you encounter nasty responses or the likes, just leave it alone and continue with your activities. The more you get irritated, the more you will get sort of comments. Have a nice day!

This is interesting. Because in reality there are people here that may have lower numbers here, and be new here with their nick but not new to this site. And why would someone only believe and want to hear just from the established people in here. I am always for welcoming new people here, and look forward to hearing from them and wanting to learn from them. So personally it is up to you what you want to do from here.

Hi aqirock! Gosh, you have been busy since I last interacted with you and I guess that you are having a lot of fun too! Your statement makes perfect sense for several reasons which I will explain (and I hope that i make sense too ) The first is that just because a user has a low number as their user axtivity rating and appears to be new here, they might well have just opened a new account and could have been here since the very beginnig of myLot. Many users decide to cancel and start agaian. Secondly, just because a user have been here for a long time does not mean that they understand all that we are supposed to do here and how myLot works. I saw a user will almost one thousand beside their name yesterday who scolded a new user, telling them that they had not understood what was being said and then a short while later the topic was deleted. The user who started the topic, even though they have been here for quite some time, had no idea that their topic was violating a guideline. MyLot needs both new and older Lotters. If there were no more mew users then the topic would become stale. the new users bring a breath of fresh air to the discussions and everyone should welcome them and guide them so that they can enjoy their time here. Assuming that they are new and therefore know nothing is absolutely totally wrong though

Thanks for sharing this discussion. In my idea nobody has right of saying something like that, in case that happens maybe that member forget the time that has joined here and has been started with zero, as all here has been started with zero and get knowlege day by day.

I am also a newcomer to the site but does that really make a difference. Though I have not come across any of comment saying anything about newcomers but if something like that exists I think it does not make any sense. We are new here just because we were busy doing something else before. Its just a matter of having opinions...We are new here on myLot but not on the earth.

Don't the words "New Comer" what matters most is that you enjoy replying and posting discussion here in mylot, your opinion is more important here not your status, cheer up, welcome to mylot.

New or old doesn't make any difference to me when it comes to mylotting. The veterans qualified to be called veterans only because they have signed up earlier but that doesn't give them the license to abuse or belittle the newbies. I can see that the newbies are making good progress and given a little bit more time these newbies will excel much better than the old horses who had been galloping here for many years and might have all their thinking cells slowly depleting. New members are a big welcome here to ensure the continuity of mylot and having you people here means new topics and issues are being injected to keep the veterans something to bite on.

That is not nice to say that to any new member with this "DO NOT ASK NEWBIES AS THEY KNOW NOTHING" in Mylot, whoever this old timer is, he needs to apologize to you and ask for your forgiveness and stop being a 'jerk' again, as because someone happened to be one or two years longer than you in Mylot membership does not reflect he know every thing and all things and you know nothing. But don't feel bad about him, there is only a handful of old time jerks like this in Mylot, 95-97% of Mylotters are friendly, smart and considerate people no matter old timers or newbies, that should bring you some relief during your Mylotting. Just go ahead and rate him negative and write him up to the Adm., there is no reason for you to response to him anymore in the future.

Even in internet sites the situation is the same in the real world. There are veterans and when you are a newbie that's a very big deal. You will also feel OP just like in the real world where you don't know where to exactly place yourself in an already established relationship. Everyone starts from newbie but the old timers really have the advantage over newbies. I don't know, I just use mylot the way it is intended and people respond back so I just continue to use even though I knew some may not be comfortable with newcomers. Anyway, this is one of the safe and friendly place in the internet I have found so far. Seems like little bullies around.

Ow.. I think I missed to read such comment.. anyway it is not proper to classify you as that.. everyone here starts from zero so I think nobody has the right to saying that demeaning statement. Anyway, just take that as a challenge, show to that person that you can collaborate or can participate better like those veterans.. Happy mylotting!

there are members who are keen observers and analyze what's going on so they understand how mylot "works" sooner than others, and it does not depend on how long or how recently they have been a member here, how old or young their biological age is, how high or low their user rating is, the color of their stars or the place where they come from and their english skills. i think mylot makes everyone equal, that's why i like it, and i hope it stays that way.

Calm down. I know some people at here very rude. That person should not say like that. I think all people at here have some of their discussion deleted because violate a rule here. No one is perfect. All of us make a mistake.

I'm a new mylot user. people don't say always a new commer but seeing the no on the profile they don't back newcomer's discussion alot which is a worring point.everybody comes first here he is new commer.So somebody diffinatly back him and encouge him. Like old user's we also required engourgment.We want mylot old user come to us discussion and help us how to move on....

That sounds rather patronizing doesn't it, and I would be annoyed, I am firm believer that anyone, regardless of how long they have been on a site can still learn something new. It shouldn't be an issue, well not to me, I am always open to learn new stuff, regardless of how long the person has been around. Everyone has a valuable contribution to offer Mylot regardless.

I completely agree with you. People can call you a new comer that's fine but there's no need to use it to embarrass or make fun of the person. Everyone at some point is a new comer and people have to remember that. Even the person that started the site was new to figuring out how to start a site and run it. If you think about it everyone is a new comer in many more ways than just on this site and I don't think that they would take too kindly to comments like you have stated so why do that to others.

I'm not exactly a newcomer, but i hardly post discussions i mainly respond to discussions. I have not experienced a phrase of the kind when i began everyone had been welcoming and very nice to me. Well that was 2 years ago. Mylot is for discussions that people can respond with the best of their knowledge to help resolve the issue or aid in supporting a topic. Either way, whoever wrote that to you is very rude. Mylot was not created so that people can write rude and disrespectful things. Which is why you select your interests. If someone does not share the same interests as other fellow mylotters, then they shouldn't be responding to those discussions

I never questioned some newcomer here. rather it say welcome and hope to have fun. I think you just have hailed him and if he has questions to answer accurately and clearly not to confuse. nice day!

This is a long tread. That’s good. Maybe by the time the discussion has wound down you can consider yourself a vet. I think on topics that concern mylot specifically and how it functions the people that have been around for a long time can wear the label, long time vet because they have picked up information along the way. But when it comes to other topics say for example life experiences only the person can really say I am the expert on my own life because that person has been with it forever. So I think it depends on topic. Having said that another way of looking at this is that we being humans are all newcomers since the earth has been around longer than any of us.

Well there would be reasons for this, such as more experienced people would understand the site better. However, some new people could have read through the terms very thoroughly (but seriously, who does that? :P ) and know more than even veteran users.
