A Message to all of MMOwned.

[slyfox101]

I know I said that it is to all of MMOwned, but if you know that this message is not for you, then don't read it.

TO THE REST OF YOU:

I'll first state that none of this post is to be mean, it's to be honest. I hear people talking. I hear people constantly saying that MMOwned sucks because there are too many noobs asking stupid questions. I'm not trying to be mean, but heres what I think. All of you people who ask these really f**king stupid, simple questions: YOU ARE ALL NOOBS!

I am not trying to be mean, I'm trying to save this site from being overrun with idiots who are incapable of running a server, yet act like they'll die to do it. Here's a couple tips to all of you:

1. If you have a problem, TRY TO FIX IT! Try and fix it yourself, if you post a really dumb questions with no proof that you have tried to fix it, many people will not want to help you, including me.

2. USE SEARCH! Search up your problems before asking! There are questions that have been asked 1000 times and yet you still find it appropriate to post it AGAIN? So, USE THE SEARCH BUTTON.

3. If you are going to ask a question, and lets say it has to do with your server, with the... XP rate. Where is your xp rate? Hmm, your ascent.conf, right? POST IT! In most situations, POST YOUR CONFIGS, it's something we have a huge problem with, and before you do that, SEE NUMBER 2.

4. BE POLITE! You're asking someone to help you... and you're being rude? If someone helps you get your server up, or provides you with something you can use and will use, SAY THANK YOU, and if possible, REP THEM.

5. DON'T BE A FLAT OUT NOOB! Seriously, if you're about to ask something like, "Where can I download SQLyog??", YOU ARE AN IDIOT. Use your common sense, and maybe even your JUDGMENT before you ask a question like that!

Look, I don't want to see this site be taken down because there are no members that are active, because we all leave due to the sickness of noob questions constantly. I'm not trying to be mean, I am just being honest. This is one of the biggest problems with MMOwned right now, and if you don't do your part to fix it then you'll have nowhere to turn to as far as private servers go. Sorry guys, but this just had to be said.

zomg, /sticky!!

people need to hear this, stupid noobz everywhere

[mismatchedsocls]

i am a n00b but i bought a 6 pack of common sense at the liquor store, it's on sale for $2.99, so any other n00bs out there come buy some common sense too!

Thanks for your attempt, Sly, but sadly, there will ALWAYS be noobs. The noobs will (Sadly) reproduce, and spawn more noobs, and we will be stuff with people who don't know what they're doing, but do it anyways, and only a select handful of people to try and sort things out for these floods of noobs.

/cry

I understand the flood of noob questions is inevitable, but we can do things to stop it, starting with this.

[mismatchedsocls]

i say make a n00b licensing divsion, and if ppl ask completely retarded stuff or overly redundant questions just ban their IP from the forum, w00t, i am teh g3n1us!

What is a noob?

[Sahdrani]

Noob is a slang term for a newcomer to online game or an internet activity. It can also be used for any other activity in whose context a somewhat clueless newcomer could exist. It can have derogatory connotations, but is also often used for descriptive purposes only, without a value judgement.

Wikipedia FTW!

Sorry Sahd, I forgot to let you know I was being sarcastic.

[warsheep]

No noob will read this really, not even if you make it a pop up, theyll just press OK, just like they do when the pop up that say "Do you REALLY want to format C:/ ?" they press Ok.

But anyways, +Rep, it is a good post, if just more people would read it.

[coopero]

I am a noob. I read it.
PS:banning IPs is useless, it takes a maximum of
10sec to change it (noob).
