As Kingpin noted in his "Newbies and lurkers" thread, during the show there are (at best) 60 people logged on the board. He also noted that this is due to the frequent "Dilloning" by the veterans and others who survived their own life as a newbie.


In a nutshell, fear is why the poster level is down. Newbies are afraid to post since it is almost certain that they will be ripped a new a-hole. But why do we dillon?

  • Will people think highly of us if we can utter a word that we hear on the radio 30 times a day?
  • Do you gain personal satisfaction from ruining someone's time on the board?
  • Are you trying to make new friends on the board just cause they're tooling on some poor soul also?
  • Do you think you're helping the board by saying someone's an f-tard just cause they don't know there's already a thread posted a month earlier?


All in all you have to put yourself in the shoes of a newbie.


  • You've never been here before.
  • You are unfamiliar with the rules of the board.
  • Lets be honest. Would YOU read the FAQ?


Sure there are some exceptions when someone's stupidity is so transparent that you can almost smell it. Most of the time people come here to talk about "Opie and Anthony." It seems like now a days there's hardly ever a actual question or comment about Opie and Anthony. While you do (quoting Froy) have to think before you write, not every post has to be a work of art.

We will be debuting a new "Adopt a Newbie" program sometime this week to help curtail this problem. I'd appreciate it if you all removed your former adopted newbie names out of your signatures in helping us get ready for the new program.

Well put the whole point of the board is to have a good experience. If a newbie says something that he shouldn't have that wasn't mean spirited than we should help them out instead of dilloning them.

Nice job Fez.

And bringin back the adopt-a-newbie program is a good idea IMO. Cuz while there are some newbies that seem to be just ass-f's,there are others that seem willing to want to learn how the board works.

hmmmmmmmm? No more newbie bashing? Damn!

Oh well, it will free up more time for Fez bashing. :D

For the mothers that cried, for my homies that died.
The begining is an ending, am I just a slave?
So I got to be brave from the cradle to the grave.

Dillon... hold on, this is good...

I think we all agree fezzy. Pile on's are moronic and have to stop as we've said before. I think helping out newbies willing to learn will do much good. Just cause the poster is new doesnt mean it deserves a dillon. Well said dick.

Fez bashing...

I'm into that.

Happy days, newbies are spared. Fez is the new target.

After all, Fez is a Moderator designated dick.

Tool on him all you want but Fez is right. I have refered this board to alot of my friends and people i work with. They say it's impossible to make a point on this board cause people just drop bombs on you. But I ain't complaining I've seen it much worse. Atleast people are making an effort to be civil. You can't expect a change overnight. Just my opinion on the matter. :)

If we just focus on the fez bashing we can bring newbies and vets together. Thats a common ground.

We all were a newbie at one time. And for some, understanding the board takes a little time. Lets all try to help them out.

Remember, when O&A get syndicated, we are going to have a lot of newbie’s.

Not at all Geedagreek.

Fez can be tooled on in any forum.

In fact, tool on him in each and every forum you see him in. I know I will.

How about silent game?
Instead of playing Dillon-pile on, if someone posts something stupid, we agree to not reply for 1 hour. Thus-then leaving them to twist in the wind. Unless a mod replies first.
