Yes I do hate it. Especially when the person posting has such poor grammar/spelling that you can't decipher what they have posted.

Don't spam, Angel. And like you said, they're new! They don't know where or where not to put posts. Don't be so harsh.

And the definition of irony is... ?.?

Yes, it's annoying. That's what the report button is there for.

You can't change people; sometimes, the best thing to do is just smile and pity them on the inside...

Much like what I'm doing right now.

...I don't hate it.
They're new, and until they become much more familiar with the site they're going to do things wrong. How welcome would you feel if people bashed you or called you annoying for making a simple mistake?

It's called a 'N00b' ;D

It's not right to give a 'N00b' a bad name. Some get the hang of the internet quickly, others need a little help to get started. It's all down to a bit of help and experience ;D It happens, but eventually they'll learn. No ones is born a completly 'forum wise'.

Not necessarily. But it does have a limit.
At the beginning they're ok. I mean, everybody's been a newbie somewhere and they will be in the future, too. So if they make a mistake, it's comprehensible.
But if they do it again and again and again AND AGAIN until they start having hick'ups, then sure. It gets irritaiting. But again. There are mods, who will prevent this from happening.

The word "n00b" is not nice, just a small for your info. Because you wouldn't like being called like that either.

Nobody likes to be called anything, but this is what happens. Example: No one would like to be called a spammer, but if they are posting tons of useless messages it will eventually happen. It's the same in everyday life, nobody would like to be called horrible, for example, but if they are doing things to displease people it will happen.
There’s a difference between a 'new member' and 'N00b', or 'noob'. People in general can't be flamed for being new, because everyone has to be new once. Sure, they may post a few stupid messages but with a little guidance from more experienced members they can be helped. A 'Noob' is a newish person who, despite being shown how things work and such, arrogantly continue they way they do things themselves. The percentage of people, if someone were to come on to the forums being new would warmly welcome and treat them as a 'New member' not a 'n00b'. In my other post I was referring to the more clueless new-comers. But, if these people are told what they are doing wrongs, it separates the mature from the immature. The mature half would begin to take hint and learn to do things right. The other half may continue for a while but, like I said, they're new. They'll eventually get there
