Discuss the post frustrate people made within our Site suggestions and feedback forum; Post Snippet: The most important thing here that EVERYONE has missed is that this is a "news" ...
The most important thing here that EVERYONE has missed is that this is a "news" based forum. The core function of this is site is to discuss the latest news and events that go on around the world. The fact that the site has celeb pics is merely a way to help attract members to the site.
The new members that continually bitch and moan about how this site is sooooooo strict is because they only come here for one thing - the pics. They are not interested in the community that exists here. They are not interested in the effort that the existing member put in to keep a site going, and they are certainly not interested in finding out how to become part of the community. All they are interested in is getting the pics, and be damned anyone of anything that gets in their way.
Personally, I 100% agree that new members should not be given full access to the site. Rocking up here, and demanding access to the site's goodies is down right offensive. And making comments like "you know how to frustrate people" and "the rep points system sux" just shows that you have no respect for the site, nor the members that put in the effort to give you the pics.
If you want the pics, then I suggest that you find another site that will welcome your abrupt, and demanding attitudes.If you are truely interested in becoming a part of this site, then close your mouths / hands, pay attention to how the site works, and make a positive influence.
As for being jumped on for making a mistake, there are members here who are just tired of the same "type" of newbie who comes in and demands everything. Once again, if you cannot be bothered to put in the effort to be part of the community, then the mods / members do not have to be nice to you. There are also a handful of members who think they are more powerful then they really are, but I'm sure a mod or two will put them in their places...
And to put my opinions into context, I used to be a Mod here (and on other forum sites), and I left because I was sick and tired of the lack of respect shown by new members. I'd ask them nicely, and I'd get abused. I'd warn them, more abuse. I ban them, they create another account abuse some more.
So the short version of this rant is: Be a part of the community, or find another site.
As always if you have issues with this post, please take it up with the owner Chief.
EDIT: I just checked the posts made by the members complaining here. Not a single post in the news forums. This just proves my point again...

you can search Madonna +white to cut down on results
So that is what i am doing wrong. I knew on CS and on C&G you put Madonna+ white. When I do it on here it doesn't narrow down because I am putting that stupid plus sign in the wrong place. Thanks for the info.

I haven't demanded anything. All I ask is that new members are given a fair go.
You say that the pics section is here to attract new members, and then you slam me, a new member for only having posted there (after three days of membership).
You say be a part of the community, but the first reaction from some parts of the community is to diss new members.
I have not used bad or abusive language in any of my posts here in this thread. I have simply tried to demonstrate what it feels like to be a 'noob' on this forum. And its not a good feeling.
We were all 'noobs' at one time and had to go through the same things you're talking about....is it too much to ask for you to give before you receive? The idea behind it is to discourage leachers.......

We have many noobs who make it here. They started out just like you did, they followed all the rules, they don't complain about not getting rep, and they are doing just fine here. Post some pictures, making sure you follow the rules and do not post anything from the banned content list, and you might actually see your rep going back up. Most senior members of this site who see "please rep me" or variation of asking for rep interpret that as demanding access to the NSFW forum because you are basically telling people to rep you for your post.
Rep takes time to accumulate and 90% of the posts on this board don't get repped. You just post pictures build the community and as people see that you are a constant contributor of good posts then they are more likely to view your posts thus adding to your chances of getting rep.
So far you have yet to make one post that adheres to the sites rules and regulations. If you want to stay go start making some contributions to the site and quit posting in here trying to defend yourself because I can almost guarantee you will not win. Post because you want to share your pics with people not because you get rep for them. If you don't want to do that then as Head Monkey stated find another site because you really don't have a third option.
BTW the bottom line of Head Monkey's post is the mods and admins know people don't hand out negative rep without a reason which is rule breaking usually or really impolite comments and they don't want to hear (read) someone complaining when they have obviously been doing something wrong on the boards. Members are expected to read the rules within the faq and ask questions if they don't understand them. His other point was that you have made no other posts or replies outside of the celeb pic area which shows you are not interested in being part of the whole community, just part of it. Senior member participate mainly in the pic forum but we branch out to gaming, celeb news, current events, ect. We try and comment, build discussions, and stimulate the growth of the site.

I do sympathise slightly laked. I've only been here a few months myself, and the rules on this forum are slightly different to other forums. The major one being about not linking pictures from another site.
I fell foul of that one and got into trouble myself in my first couple of weeks. But persevere and this is a great site. The rule about downloading pictures and not linking them, is all to do with avoiding having the site responsible for "bandwidth theft" from another site. Something which some forums are taking responsibility for and others not so much.
Another issue is about uploading images which are belong and are fiercely guarded property of another site/magazine such as for instance the Sun's Page 3.
All these rules are put into place to stop the forum getting into trouble.
-------------
On the issue of access to the Celebrity Pictures Not Suitable For Work.
You have to remember this is a forum, and not a site for just distributing naked pictures. The idea of limiting the access to this area is to avoid having people just join to view pictures.
It is undoubtably the most popular areas on the forum. If your interests are just in looking at naked women, there are much better sites out there tailored to that one need.
If you're interested in contributing, there are a lot of areas on site to have a look around. Comment is always encouraged.
I'm often to be found writing stuff for the Current Events area,
But you might find another area which suits you more.
But this is a forum, and in a forum, members are expected to create threads, read threads, respond to stories - not just look at the pictures!
Hope to see you around ...

Oops - you mean I'm not welcome!!! :p
Actually do you mean leaches there or letchers? I'm probably guilty of the second offense!
