[QUOTE="db94, post: 295868, member: 4318"] Bram I completely agree with your points and your fear about how we are perceived by potential members have but I also get pissed off with the lack of common courtesy shown by some new members - the ones that have clearly only joined to get a quick valuation or sell/promote their goods. First to admit I am very old school when it comes to this kinda thing, like you I waited a few months before posting and left it even longer before voicing any type of opinion. Nowadays (**** I'm sounding ancient in this, honestly I'm only 42)people have a lot more to say for themselves early on but I'm a big champion of earning your place in any group/organisation/forum and taking the time to get to know how things work - point being there is lots of advice and guidance on here about introducing yourself and the correct way to post pictures but we still get lots of 1st time posters uploading huge pictures selling their items. They can't be bothered to take the time to read up and comply but instead just post up their toys for sale. How often have we seen people selling modern in the vintage section even though we have a modern section with a separate thread just for modern sales, I would argue anyone that hasn't bothered to look at the site long enough to know that probably isn't looking to contribute anything, they just get what they want and leave. When I was pointed to the site (thanks again bluedog) I couldn't get enough of it, spending hours reading every thread. Those looking to enjoy the hobby and contribute will do the same, by doing that they'll quickly realise just how good this place is. Honestly don't think we need to worry too much, there is a huge difference between here and RS - we are definitely not oppressive but equally we don't put up with any **** [/QUOTE]
