Newb bashing is getting out of control. here's the deal, not everyone on this site is a mechanic, thats why a lot of people are here. when newbs ask questions its because they obviously don't know the answer. but when a person asks a question and 5 different people reply "your dumb for not knowing that," what makes that newb want to stay?

this is NOT OK for the sight and we lose a lot of new people because they don't want to ask questions, scared to recieve a flaming as an answer. i know to a lot of you who work on cars a lot or even as a hobby find the questions funny or annoying, but look at it this way, if your in a different country and can't speak the language would you like help with it or just get laughed at and thrashed for not knowing it.

auto work for a lot of people is like a foriegn language, if you don't know it you just don't, so a little more help and a little less hassle will be greatly appreciated.

thanks guys

I haven't seen any no0b bashing lately. Must be in the threads i'm not reading.

Because I delete it.

true

I didnt have any problems as a newbie,Did you delete something someone bashed on me with? Sometimes you gotta wonder.

I didn't.

Maybe because you didn't come in swinging like a blind quadrapalegic.
