I will make sure to re-route all "new" and "unexperienced" users to you. Curious how long will it take till your neurons burn out and you start seeing and believing my point.
Kindly stop bringing the "admin" subject into discussion, as it makes no fucking sense. Before being an admin, I'm a human being with opinions, just like you. Flaunting around that statement of yours seems to suggest you're looking for excuses aimed at
reassuring stupid people that "hey, it's OK to be stupid". Sure, stay like that.. but don't bitch when people that don't want to stay at that level respond to you with acid remarks. Myself or other experienced people here are NOT THE REASON others are where they are, at that "unexperienced" level.
Wanna learn? Sure. The forum is full with information. But what happens actually is they SAY they want to learn, but do shit about it, returning to their regular routines: gaming, posting retarded questions, showing how they fuck up their games and so on. And for that.. those who have more experience aren't responsible of their fuck-ups, nor should they become the entities who teach them how not to be stupid.
What's this about: freedom of speech, regardless of status (I would say the same thing, even if I weren't an admin); expressing opinions based on personal experience; CHOICE (I choose not to be so supportive, especially when I see how I am 'rewarded' - and I'm not talking about money here, but respect, retaliation, bowing ear to the public opinion "SunBeam is.. does.. etc." and lastly, once they see their issue resolved, no feedback, reply and inactivity for months -- I guess you never look at that picture, just what interests you, that they are "new" and "unexperienced"; they are also OTHER things you didn't think of or mentioned).
There are at least 10 experienced people on this forum who would teach the unexperienced population a big deal. But they, unlike me, choose to ignore retards and not respond. Yet I'm the one judged here, based on my form of expression, when you should be grateful I respond (as opposed to others who just ignore them). Even if what I respond with isn't "constructive" or other pompous words flaunted around. Guess I will have to follow in their foot-steps and stop bothering with stupid people. Cuz that's the human nature: when you read something you don't like, you wanna shutdown the other person. Fine, go be like that. For a while you can have empathy and compassion, be kind and all that bullshit. But once your cup is full, that fades away. And you become bitter. Sure, there are and will be generations of people you will like and hate, but understand this is a never-ending wave. New people will come, old people will vanish, the forum's gonna be filled in no time with "unexperienced" people. When their numbers are going to surpass those of the experienced people, let me see you then if you still sustain your statements.
P.S.1: Being stupid is correctible. But for that the individual must invest time, resources and not give up on the first problem. How many actually do that?... /rhetorical
P.S.2: Unfair, my ass. What's unfair is me investing time to actually read a post, figure out a solution, respond. While the user just plays the game till someone eventually replies. That's what's unfair. The user should be the one figuring out the solution. And not continue mindlessly playing the game.. And when they find a solution.. do they come back to let the others know how they've fixed their shit? No, they don't. Let's see how long it takes till one of those asking for help posts again. Point here: in my activity I also do statistics - see how many posts the user has, what's the frequency they visit our forum with, etc. Something I doubt you did before starting to advocate for these people T_T..
