I don't know why people are so irritable, but I'm beginning to feel like half the MKD section is filled with bitter old men, and the other half with mindless little children.

People can't even ask questions anymore without getting flamed. If you're so offended by the fact that it's a repeated topic, just nicely answer the question and let the topic die with only two or three posts. Don't condemn the user for not memorizing every thread in the one day he or she has been at the site. That's how small simple threads turn into flame wars with 50+ replies. And it has nothing to do with noobs, it's all about self-righteous asses who think it's their job to keep noobs in check.

And don't even give me that bullshit about the search forum. It's meant for referrence to old or popular threads if one wanted to revisit them. To expect any new user to sort through hundreds of Cyrax threads just to find one about the Hotaru is a joke. It's a thousand times easier to make a thread, and even more easier to ignore it if you think it's spam. Nevermind the fact that the thread may trigger some new intelligent conversation and speculation. If a person makes a Subzero thread when there are already eight exact ones on the front page, that's different. If someone tries to claim blatantly false info and half-truths with no evidence, that's different. If somone completely ignores reading the other posts of thread, and asks something that has been answered just two posts above, that's different.

But I really don't care if your justified in correcting the person or not. "correcting" someone isn't the issue. Being an asshole is the problem hand, and if you go apeshit over something as little an already-answered-question, then you're worse then they are. Keep the high ground.

A noob is an immature user who has no reguard at all for the community itself. If a new user wants to join our community, great. If that user makes a few mistakes, don't shit yourself. It happens. Live and learn, right?

And some of these people aren't even new users, they're returning to the community after a year or so due to the recent exposure of MKD. They're coming back to the site to learn more about the game, and to flame them for not knowing about Hari Kari is just stupid and immature. Some of these guys are my old peers, and I don't appreciate some people flaming them for little or no reason.

And finally, I know there are a lot of people are getting burned for defending Smoke's non-cyborgness(didn't know how to phrase it, lol). I know you're correct, but there's no point trying to convince others who refuse to believe otherwise. Just let time prove you correct. I was flamed left and right for saying that Li Mei was in the game and that her model was nowhere near being mileena's alt(I still can't believe people were that blind). But eventually, she was confirmed and all the flamers were dead silent. Just think of it as a card game. Soon, all the hands will be in the light, you'll come out victorious. Till then, there's really no point debating it.

All in all, calm down, peeps.
