While the crew here at Heroscapers encourages new players and their questions, we would appreciate it a ton if you would take the time to fully read the rule book/cards. Many questions can be resolved through this easy and enjoyable exercise! But, if they can't, we are more than happy to field your questions!

Thank you, and Have a Super-Splendid Day!

Yeah, thanks for that. I did read the greeting when I first showed up here. If you yourself would brush up on this very thread, you'll see I mentioned it a couple posts back as a good place to put some of the basic answers or a link to them. Apparently, though, not many newcomers are doing the same, are they?

I really can't believe you are arguing for your right to be a jerk to newbies. Let me make this as simple as I can for you and break it down into the shortest and easiest way for you to remember how to act around here:

Be nice or do not post!

Now is that clear enough?

Yes, yes, and yes. There are few things that **** me off more than a response that doesn't answer the question. If you have the time to post, you have the time to answer. If you can't answer with the information given, prompt for more, or leave the conversation.

If someone is being an ding bat, send a note with a link to an admin so we can step in. That's the super fun part of our volunteer job here.

I'm not arguing for my right to be a jerk to newbies, because there is no argument to be made. This forum is private property, and if those with the power of the ban say that I don't have the right to be a jerk to newbies, or to use the letter E for that matter, then I don't have that right. I realize that. Go back and read what I actually wrote. Maybe you'll find it a little more believable. I said I don't come here to take part in flaming, and that still stands. I said I'm willing to work on a basic faq if that would help, and that still stands.

What irks me is that you're directing all your admin/mod emphasis!!! at the rude responses and leaving the original posters alone. I don't have the right to reprimand them, but you do! You told me to "brush up a bit on what we already have available here." Where was that scolding when someone who was actually ignorant needed to hear it? Why don't you "break it down into the shortest and easiest way for you to remember how to act around here" when an obvious question comes up?

Repeat questions are already scolded, we are asking that there be an answer and direction and not just. "Don't you read the f'in rules N00B" pile on.

At various times there have been all the things people mention. They don't help with the repeat questions. People would rather ask than research. It is fairly normal. It keeps happening because we keep getting new people who have to ask at least a couple silly questions before they get the way the forum works. Then they stop asking, but there are new ones to take their place.

There is this 1ONE1 sticky that asks people to be nice. There are MULTIPLE stickies in every forum that explain how to use the forum and sub-forums. We are far from directing all the mod emphasis on the rude posters. It is high time that people are reminded that we are all supposed to help people enjoy our passionate hobby, not drive them off with rudeness like a bunch of snobs in a GamesWorkshop store (personal bad experience)

I completely agree with answering good questions with answers and links to the correct threads. Even a gentle nudge torwards, "hey there are lots of these things posted so have a look around, if you have any questions PM me and I will try to help" is not that bad I don't think.

But here is my question...you knew it was coming :P If the guy asks what isyour favorite flavor of Ice Cream...Vanila, Strawbarry, or Chokolate

and then adds a big poll to boot...can I razz him :P ..........please Just a little

Then again, maybe I haven't dealt with enough people who are consistently and willfully ignorant. If you have, my sympathies.
To my mind, snark is something you would "hit" a "victim" with, sure. I don't see the mistake. Maybe what you mean by snarkiness isn't what I thought of.

Reading a card or manual is simple, too. Why are you putting all the pressure on the one who answers the question and none on the one who asks it? If I ask a question that's covered in the manual, and you give a rude reply, we're both wrong. If you're going to stickify your complaint about bad replies, how about some kind of RTFC sticky to combat these stupid questions?
You mean something like this:

Newb.
Just wondering, is that PMed to all new accounts that are created? Not that it would really help when people aren't even reading manuals...

Maybe, but like I said, this thread is not about how to fix the newbies. It's about how to treat them. Just a simple (for some) reminder that we should welcome new members and help them without being rude.

I think this is a good way to handle it. Give them a short answer and a link to the answer, the page of the rule book, the faq, an already existing thread with the answer in it, etc.

Most members will be pleased to be directed to the answer. If they still do not understand, their next question will be more to the point.

I also like the idea of Dictatorbilbo (I added the part about FAQ) :

Things you might have missed in the rulebook:

Figures can't attack themselves.
