No. I just help them out if they need help and welcome them here. Respect people so you can be respected. :)

Nah...Half the time I just assume they're previous users starting an alt.megagene
That's because new people who start posting in OT right away usually are. People come to Gamespot to talk about video games, then they discover OT while they're here and may end up staying in OT (though I don't understand why they don't post elsewhere). People don't come to GS brand new just to post in OT.

Yeah, the lack of foresight always boggles my mind when you see a "new" member with ten posts who already seems to know the trends and users of OT.

I don't treat them any differently unless the content of their replies somewhat suggests that they should be treated differently (i.e. n00bs).

Same here, if they post meaningful things then I could care less when they started posting.

I'm new to these forums as well, I joined a couple of days ago because someone on another site recommended Gamespot because they allowed religion and politics. Are there any topics that the Mods don't like being discussed? Someone mentioned Mods in one of the earlier posts.

Not that I am going to do this, but in the Terms of Service it says "no advertising" is that Spamming? Guess I'm not quite up to date with all of the lingo yet.

I'm asking because I'm just curious.

As much as I don't like to admit it, I do treat them differently. It must be from witnessing numerous account suicides over the years.

I don't treat them differently, no. However, I will recognize post count and not take someone's post serious sometimes if they have 400 or less.

I joined to post on OT, i had been reading it for several months though.

No, the GS community is actually quite friendly towards new members. In turn, I've been to other forums where that is not the case at all. At those places if your post count is low, or you haven't been a member for over a year, expect to get ragged on alot.

Nah, whether you are new or not I will treat you the same. And I can hold a grudge. So I guess it all comes down to if you piss me off or not, not how new you are.
