"Hi itsnotmeyouno!
Whilst we're certain that your intentions are entirely honourable, some people come onto PistonHeads just to cause trouble for other users.
For this reason, we're giving you 14 days to read what other people post and learn about how we like our users to behave before we let you dive into the murky world of The Lounge and Speed, Plod & the Law.
You're more than welcome to join in with some of our other forums though, and we'll sometimes even give you access here sooner if we see you contributing quality on-topic posts elsewhere."
I was reading this thread:
http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...
and I don't think I've ever seen a thread anywhere which contains so much in the way of childish arguments with people calling each other pr1cks and way too much in the way of censored words. It was like standing in a playground surrounded by 8 year olds that have just learned how to swear and are amused by the novelty of it.
Is that the behaviour we newbies need to learn?
Or should I rephrase?
Should I f
king speak like the average wker down the pub?
Personally, I'd rather act my age than be a childish keyboard warrior who thinks its cool to swear and call people names.
Note to these experts: once you have called someone a name, you have already lost your argument.
I clearly do not fit in here, as I don't swear enough and I don't act like a child....
Clearly the behaviour in that thread is sanctioned by the forum's moderators as no one has bothered to moderate any of those posts. Sad really....

What a depressing mindset.Wait untill you come across a finance thread. Then you will really see how childish and worried people get on their high horses because someone Dared to buy a brand new car on the never never.
It's usally the same people who moan they can't find the car they want 10 years later because no one bought one new.

Whilst I understand your point and it's a good one I assume you'll no longer be posting?I clearly do not fit in here, as I don't swear enough and I don't act like a child....

There a few people who resort to posting like that but not everyone, it's just like the real world a lot of idiots but not everyone is.
Try not to jump to conclusions and paint everyone with the same brush.

My intention wasn't to tarnish everyone with the same brush. If that is how it seems, I apologise. I just found it ironic/amusing to get that message. It was like saying that everyone in that discussion was behaving in the way that the mods are happy with.
