Some newbies are not following the rules.

I have recently noticed that a few newbies who joined havent been following the rules now yes I'm aware that there new and all as we all were at one point But once some of the older users tell them what there doing is wrong they should stop.

What I noticed is that lately the newbies are making double and even TRIPLE posts I sent a Private message to one telling them that they shouldent double post and showed them how to edit there post and then they reply to my private message In a form.

I actually think I offended the one triple poster who was in a Roleplay they made a post that kinda dident go with the story then 2 minutes later made a new post with random words so I PMed them saying "If you want to join the roleplay please ask most people will say yes and please dont double post" so they reply on a form "Ok I wont double post" or something like that making a Triple post >_<

What I would like to know is if we can find a new way of handling double and triple posters who just dont get the messge I'm not saying Ban them or anything I'm just saying we should try some attempt I saw 5 newbies double posting in the past 2 days I just feel this should be brought to everyones attention that this COULD become an issue.

I just posted to one in the CARAMEL thread--even linking it to the Forum Rules thread.

I say just send a PM to the mods and let them handle it whatever way they want (warning, ban, whatever they see fit).

That CARAMEL double was probably due to a slow page load, actually.

I already sent a PM to one of them with the all the rules and stuff. And she Pm back and said she was sorry for any trouble she caused and will don't cause any more. So hopefully that’s one down and another four or so to go.

Yes,But I've seen other newbies doing it to in the last few days and that wasent an accident because it said 2 different things.

It was the same when I saw it.

Yup, the CARAMEL one is still the same. I'm all for enforcing the rules on spamming, but dont' see that we have to penalize a newbie who just made a common mistake resulting from slow page load.

But its not just him I saw several doing it in the last couple of days.

Probably, but in THAT case, it was not.
