Newbies what do you think of the senior members here?  |
|
I am a bit disturbed when I read a response from a newbie you should just leave those oldies alone and let them disappear and die. that's how it is. This surprises me, a matured and learned person can blurt out such an uncalled remarks which will undoubtedly hurt the seniors. We are here because we like it here and why should this person put a curse word on us. I don't think we veterans have done any harm to the newbies and to the best of my knowledge have always welcome them to join in the fun here. We are no threat to the newbies and some of the seniors have even guide them on their journey here. When the atmosphere is all peaceful and calm, why stir the hornet's nest?
I just think that politeness and respect really makes a bit easier for everybody. Responding should take into account the sensitiveness of the words or should be severely restricted so as not to incite hatred. What do you draw out from this response?

zandi458 (6014) | 5 months ago | Diana, it has been a long journey here to reach where we are now. I don't understand why this lady is against us, the seniors. I see you have been so helpful to the newbies and welcoming them in the most honored manner and yet get this sort of treatment for unknown reasons. I don't know whether she is aware that all responses and discussions here are far reaching and can be viewed even by none members through google. She has not only degraded herself by posting an unintelligent response but also provoked anger among the seniors. She seems to be full of hate.

submerryn (710) | 5 months ago | When I first came into myLot, several 'seniors' guide me through. I was really happy that the myLotters I came to know here are kind and helpful. My impression of this place is that everyone helps each other not only to earn but to enjoy being here. I disagree with the newbies having those kind of attitude. They should explore myLots more before making such statements. They are only ruining their own reputation.. too bad for those ppl..

jazzsue58 (1054) | 5 months ago | Is this the longest comment thread ever?! Trolls do this kind of thing just to get rage going. Best thing is, ignore them - treat them as you would any other rock. Or anything that lives under one.

2. hiccup (6651) | 5 months ago | The load mouths come and the load mouths go.
The Potty mouths come and go sooner than later.
Ying and Yang here, what goes round comes round and so it will be for those who think they are above another here in myLot.
Many have never read the guidelines, and thats sad in a way as some think they can do and say what they want here in myLot.
They may do it for a few days but it all catches up with them sooner or later.
The older ones just keep posting discussions and comments and will be here for a long time to come as for the other who knows.

zandi458 (6014) | 5 months ago | Hi jheLaichie, As a senior yourself it is only fair that we guide the newbies to gain as much information as possible so they can perform at ease.

3. neelianoscet (2154) | 5 months ago | I think of the senior members are more intelligent, have more experience in mylot and very calmn in their attitudes. They are confident and not easily distracted of any threat. they stand on their grounds and a firm believers of equal opportunity. And, some old members welcome newbies in their list of froends. other newbies really have bad attitude and very immature they cause a lot of tension. but, the senior remain a big part of Mylot, because of their loyalty and great contributions. They also start as a newbie before, all of us will undergo the same things..It does not mean that because you are a Senior your ideas is also backward. The newbies should not judge people because of their ideas..people have different perceptions and we just have to respect them. I value the freedom of expression but it should be limited, because too much excessive words tend to hurt the seniors and even the newbie is not exempted from abuses from other members who misinterpret others members when in fact they really have no deeper knowledge of the real personality of the person whom they are attacking. Not all newbies are sarcastic, others are respectful and full of valuable ideas. We need to respect anybody as we all just human capable of being wrong and not perfect..

zandi458 (6014) | 5 months ago | Hi neelianoscet, new or old we are all the same and the only difference is I joined in earlier and stayed on to meet many newcomers to mylot. No, I don't agree with you that senior members are more intelligent. The newbies are good if not better when it comes to good intelligent discussions. But the only thing is some of them ignore the guidelines and simply post disregarding the rules of this place. I hope in time to come these newbies will turn into new leaves and mellow down a bit and there is no point of always going against the grains as we meet here most of the days. We must play according to the games of mylot and be very careful of what we say lest it might hurt others and land us in hot soup.

| Travelingman (12) | 5 months ago | I think we all need to be respectful of one another, whether you're a newbie, a senior. I've always believed that everyone regardless of their age, can learn a thing or two from someone whether they are older or younger. If we all treat each other with dignity and respect, then we can all learn from one another and become better people. I've learned things from my children and I've even learned things from my grandchildren. I'm looking forward to learning things in MyLot.com, from anyone and everyone, regardless of whether they're a newbie or a senior. You're never too old or too young to learn.

4. jshekhar (1157) | 5 months ago | Hello Zandi, I would consider myself in the "newbie" category..or may be an intermediate one. I don't know who was the person who made such remarks but trust me, we do hold the old members here in the highest of regards. They have done so much of sincere posting here to get past 4000 or 5000 posts. If anything, I like you a lot because you've been responding to all the discussions i start.. No one has any right to put a curse on anyone for no reason and I think that newbie might have got jealous of you because of your star ratings and the no. of posts you have contributed. My advice would be to leave them alone and carry on the good work of helping us out.I apologise on his behalf.

zandi458 (6014) | 5 months ago | You should be in the senior category as you have good enough figures by the side of your name to warrant you to be called a senior member here. Well, since I don't see you posting often, what ever I can get hold of your discussion I will come to it. Definitely no one is at liberty to downgrade anyone here. We should strive to make this place peaceful and enjoyable so everyone will be happy mylotting and at the same instance foster new friendships.

5. Sandra1952 (1702) | 5 months ago | I'm inclined to think that this 'newbie' was a banned member with a new user name. Alternatively, it could have been someone who joined to promote earnings programmes and was told it was against guidelines by one or more of the established members. Either way, this person is not worth bothering with. People like that will come and go, while people like you, Mysd, Alice and so many others who put in so much effort to make Mylot the great place it is, will be here long after the childish name-callers have gone to cause their mischief elsewhere.
Your phrase about disturbing the peaceful atmosphere leads me to believe it may be a troll; if we ignore them, they go away, as their mischief depends on a reaction to ffed the fire. If I see comments like this, I don't respond any more, I just report them for abuse. I know some people don't like reporting other members, but it's the only way to skim the scum off Mylot.

kalav56 (1948) | 5 months ago | Moreover, I felt it speaks of a bit of immature behaviour on the part of the person who posted such a rude remark.I normally find it slightly childish to go after people and show petty jealousies in a forum where we are just friends and do not even see each other.These people a re unable to enjoy simple friendship and it is pathetic.When we stay away totally, it is total peace.THat is what I w as writing in another discussion too.I am honestly totally unaware of all this.aNYHOW It is one big revelation as to how people can behave even in such forums.Strange!

zandi458 (6014) | 5 months ago | Of course no one is above anyone here. We are all equals having the same mission in mylot. Since a newbie have uttered unkind remarks towards the older members here it is only fair that I highlight this as not to cause further confusion and division between the old and the new.
