I asked a question, and someone said google it(like I haven't done that already) and then someone deleted it.
Don't say Google it, like a smartalex.
If that's how you treat new members. Then why am I even in here for.
Everyone was a new member at one time.

Is this how you treat new members?
I was reading some other posts. Where you were rude to the OP.

    If it's your post that went something like this:

    I'm looking for some free landing pages.
    Not from someplace that I have to signup to use.
    Don't tell me to google it.
    I wouldn't answer it because you are the one that comes across as a pompous jerk. You come here asking for help, not giving value or helping FIRST, and making demands on how you expect that help to come.

    THEN your second post is to complain about how things are done.

    I can tell, unless you get yourself an attitude adjustment, your days here are numbered.

    Hope you figure out how it all works here. There are plenty of posts and advice on how to have a long term mutually beneficially relationship here - just search for them.

    I wasn't.

    Yes, we were all new members once and the very best thing we did as a new member was to develop a thicker skin.

    Sometimes rudeness is in the perception, not the intent. That is one of the downsides of communicating via words rather than face to face where voice tones, inflections, facial expressions and body language help us interpret the intent of the speaker.

    Yes, there are some rude members here, but if you run into one, just roll your eyes and say, "Whatever", but don't let someone else's bad attitude influence your attitude.

    I most often like to "kill 'em with kindness"

    The actual reply the OP took offense to was:

    "TRY GOOGLE MY FRIEND "

    And for that, the OP called the guy who replied an "ass."

    And you wonder why your thread was deleted? How old are you?

        Would you think that Google would have been the first place I'd check.
        The original post I made, wasn't the same one.

        I don't know who said it, but all they said was, google it. And then use some emoticon. I hate those stupid emoticons so much.

      I'm not asking for anyone's email. It's only a landing page for a gpt site.
      There's going to be signup form on mine. It's going to bring them to a page to sign up to the gpt I'm promoting with my referral link only. There would be no signup from my site.

      And why should I give my email to sign up to a site.
      I'm really talking about the sites that ask you to create an account, like instapage.

    Yep some of us are blatantly rude. That's life. It's also business. Get used to it. If you want to avoid "rude" - my best advice is to stay out of the OT forum, where even long, term, well respected Warriors can get into chewing matches.

    The business crowd in the main forum is a LOT easier to deal with than the "sick of business right now" crowd down here. Trust me on that one. It's a great forum - you just have to learn to play ball with the big kids.

    I know that you are new to all of this, so:

    1. If you're going to be in sales & marketing, you're going to need thicker skin.
    2. Nothing is ever free. There is always a cost somewhere.
    3. You're going to have to give out your email address. That's for *any* kind of business.
    4. If you can get a quality landing page in exchange for your email address, that's
    probably a good deal, and you should take it.
    5. When you give people your "referral link" you are probably asking them to go sign-up
    for something somewhere. And they will have to give (!!!) their email address.


    I really don't understand why this is so difficult for an "all-knowing god"?

      Most seasoned Warriors don't mind helping members who are willing to help themselves. But when people come in here, new and with entitlement attitudes, then some members will be rude to them - however wrong it may seem to you.

      No one is going to hold your hands - if you make the effort to help yourself, you'll find people will treat you differently.

      Good luck - and welcome to the WarriorForum.

      ps: your sig line is not helping you - it really isn't.

        When l first signup, l was pretty scared to make my first post, hoping that l didn't break a rule?

        But after asking the usual how to make money, etc questions, and getting some positive comments, l started to get the hang of it.

        I am a bit of a WF veteran, but still go to war on rare occasions. But l try to keep it civil, but will walk away from the discussion if open discussion is impossible!

        IM isn't easy and as Sal has said, we come here for a break or breather from it, so some of us, may have a small chip on our shoulders, so avoiding a discussion that is getting heated, is a good idea.


        Enjoy the forum, and don't take the "Off Topic" too seriously!

          To the OP (for new guys, that means Original Poster)

          You got off on the wrong foot. Your first post shouldn't tell anyone that they are rude. it's not how we treat new people. It's how we treat whiners....whether it's your first post, or 10,000th.

          Now, the only thing we know about you, is that you are a complainer.

          And of course, you're more than that.

          But you know what? If you survive the next couple of threads....you'll probably be fine.

              Just toughen-up. You're getting distracted and wasting time.
              Have you gotten your landing page up yet? Have you started
              driving traffic to it yet? That's what you should be focusing on.
              Not whether or not a few people are laughing at your silliness.

              My friend;

              I haven't seen a question I could answer.

              Someone mentioned that a post was deleted. But I read every post up until this one, and all I see is complaining and arguing.

              It's OK. You are the only person who has acted like a d1ck. But you know what? I would have tried to help if there was a single question asked, or an attempt to ask nicely in a subsequent post.

              Too bad you've given up. The people here (in the off topic forum) which are mostly here to have fun..maybe argue....

              There are other sections of the forum where internet marketing is actually discussed.

              If you want to get in a fight about where dogs come from, this is the place.

              I wish you luck.

    I find it strange that not a single post has been really helpful to the newbie/OP, honestly, if you treat your new customers the same way, you would soon lose them.

    Rather than criticise, be helpful, is that not part of what we're all about, helping each other succeed.

      What gets the ire up (at least mine) is when someone comes in here with a few posts complaining about how they were treated, demanding that things change, starts out with an attitude, etc.

      I wouldn't go to your house and ask for your help because my car broke down, I needed to use the phone, I was lost or whatever and immediately start to berate you and your family, calling you names, acting selfish, acting like you owe me something, etc. If I did I would quickly find out if you owned a shotgun and/or would have a meet up with the local police if I didn't leave or start to behave.

      That's exactly what happened here.

      Give before you ask for help and never demand. If you say "I need help but don't tell me to search on my own or to lift a finger to help myself first because I don't want to hear that -- all I want to hear is for you to share your experience and value with me and DO IT NOW" you'll get run out of town pretty quickly here almost every time.

      My two cents.

      PS No one here wants these types of customers.

      That's my 2 cents worth anyway.

      Well, along with "rudeness is sometimes in perception", so is helpfulness, apparently.

      I did try to help the OP in my post #4. But if you find that to be rude, you have even thinner skin than the OP.

      I guess 2 cents just isn't worth much these days, eh?

      How's that for rude?

As a newbie I think its important to be thankful for what is here, ask questions when needed but I am sure that they get alot of questions that show the lack of initiative on the part of the asker. Anyway I hope that you found what you were looking for. I myself am on a steep learning curve right about now...

        An appropriate choice of images for the response, given that you're acting quite a lot like Cartman.

        All anyone said to you was, as Dennis said, "TRY GOOGLE MY FRIEND. " Your response, "I did. Why you have to be so rude for. All I did was ask a question. And you're just acting like an ass," was the only thing in that thread which was rude.

        Those were, for anyone who missed it, the only replies in the original thread. So, no extra context to consider.

        When your thread was deleted, you re-posted it, which is another violation of the rules. Well, the first, actually. Calling someone an ass isn't technically against the rules, but we usually expect to see a bit more provocation before someone jumps to that level.

        Then, after you start this thread and tar the entire forum as rude based on your own sense of entitlement, you report 4 or 5 posts for being "rude." Including a few that weren't even directed at you.

        This is what we in the trade refer to as "an inauspicious beginning."

      If the person didn't use any of these smileys. I wouldn't be complaining.
      Those smileys make it seem like people don't like helping new members.

      And if I'm asking for help in another thread. Which has nothing to do with this one. Then why was it deleted for.
      The only thing I said on there was, don't tell me to google it because I already did.

      And who ever asked what, "I'm a God. Gods are all knowing". Just look at my avatar. It Lord Ba'al, from Stargate SG1. If you watched it, you'd know what it means.

        I am a Stargate fan, and get it, but most probably won't?

        I would recommend at least making it a quote with the Stargate character as the source, because you may have set it up as a gag, but it comes across as arrogant!

        or if you write something that could be construed as negative, the sig file message ad's fuel to the fire.

        , don't tell me to google it because I already did.
        Because you are new, (with no track record) and since as others have said, it is borderline between being seen as negative or just stating something.

        Maybe you are right, but as said before the god reference doesn't help, since most don't get it as a joke.


        Another way of putting it, is, "thankyou for your reply, but l have already Googled it"?


        This is a great forum, but unfortunately when someone, tries to justify a comment that comes across as arragent, then it sometimes results in, a linch mob, with the burning torches and pitchforks.


        Pussy foot around for a while, change your sig, file into a quote, help out to give people a chance to get to know you, and you should start to fit right in.

        But continue to think that you are correct and we are all at fault, then l suspect that the dancing bananas and smileys, will not end!

        And this thread could turn into an all out argument or get closed.

        You have jumped into the deep end of the pool and got a blood nose, now it is time to swim to the shallow end, and take it easy, or let things cool down!

        Funny! I recently watched the very last episode with Ba'al! They celebrated the killing of the last instance of him, so they thought, but were unaware that the REAL last instance had gone back in time to set into motion the destruction of the humans on earth. With the "last instance" gloating, and the disappearance of two of them, they figured out what happened, managed to go back, and kill, supposedly, the REAL Ba'al. Somehow, I don't think they explained how, the guy managed to get back to the future in time to watch the "last instance" gloat once again as things went smoothly and he TOO died!

        Maybe he got back because, having done that, he never left, but that would be yet ANOTHER paradox! YIKES! I mean if he solved the problem, he would never go back to solve it. If he didn't solve the problem, they would never be in a case to have it happen!

        Not much of a god, even if he DID do so much more than most of the others.

            Yeah, I KNOW!

            For the benefit of some others, like heysal, Star Gate was about an alien impersonating a god, and trying to get all the benefits that such beliefs can give. The humans went to the "god"'s servant's planet and ended up blowing the "god" up, and turning the servants against him. They went there by using gates setup by an old race of humans that I guess represent the CHRISTIAN gods, called "the ancients". Of course, since they now effectively ARE like gods, they have no need for the gates. The "goauld"(sp?) use them to travel easily from planet to planet.

            SG1 follows through as a series that shows non human aliens that were treated like gods or superbeings by humans. One race of non human aliens were the "goauld"(sp?) and most of THEM came to be known as egyptian gods and godesses "BAAL" is the EGYPTIAN god of thunder. DON'T confuse him with THOR, the NORSE god of thunder, because THOR was an ASGAARD and a NICE alien!

            Anyway, the "goauld" are snake like parasites that have a species memory. I forget the actual term, but the offspring have all the memories their parents had. They invade humans and can fully control the humans, and access their memories. So basically they steal technology, know all their line has ever been exposed to, and can hide, and gain followers out of fear, belief, and custom, and that is their ONLY strength!

        Because it was a re-post of a deleted thread, for starters. You might find that reading the rules relieves some of your stress. Speaking of which...
        If the person didn't use any of these smileys. I wouldn't be complaining.
        Those smileys make it seem like people don't like helping new members.
        Woah, dude. Were you, like, mugged by a comedian?

        So, you dislike emoticons. One person used one smiley, and you generalized that to mean the entire population of the forum doesn't like helping new members? Do you not see just how tall a conclusion you leaped to in a single bound?

        As far as the post that was deleted...
        I'm looking for some free landing pages.
        Not from someplace that I have to signup to use.
        Don't tell me to google it.
        ... you stated, imperiously!

        Seriously?

        A few suggestions.

        If you don't want your main mailbox to get cluttered with a lot of stuff, create a separate one for subscriptions. Check it often, and unsubscribe from the stuff that's useless.

        Griping about such a meager price tag for something you want badly enough to demand it in a public forum isn't going to endear you to anyone. It will pretty much guarantee you're not taken seriously. (There's that word again.)

        Issuing commands to a group is rarely a productive approach. Doing so with a sig file that suggests you're a "god" is even less well-considered. Doing that and then starting a thread to complain about how rude people are is worthy of headlines...

            Maybe he got back because, having done that, he never left, but that would be yet ANOTHER paradox! YIKES! I mean if he solved the problem, he would never go back to solve it. If he didn't solve the problem, they would never be in a case to have it happen!

            Not much of a god, even if he DID do so much more than most of the others.

            I don't get that. If you die in the past. Won't you die in the future? Your future would've never existed.
            So what ever he did, it wouldn't have happened.

            Unless he knew what would happen. So he sent a clone back in time. Or, his future self is a clone.

            He was the best goa'uld out of all of them.

              You never saw that series? BAAL was SNEAKY, SMART, and ARROGANT, and KNEW his time was up! So he created a lot of CLONES! He led all to believe they had all clones, but he tricked them. They killed EVERY instance they knew of, but one. And they were in the midst of killing THAT one, which triggered baal to go to plan C. His FIRST plan was discovered and destroyed. His SECOND plan was to have at least one clone out to explain further clones to frustrate searches. The capture of the last clone made THAT a failure. The THIRD plan was to go back in time and sink the boat carrying a gate to the military to be checked out. If they never got the gate, it wouldn't be used or studied, and the earth would be DEFENSELESS!

              ANYWAY, he went to the past from the future, and it plays on the timeline theory of paradoxs. In other words, the timeline already went so far, and he couldn't change that by doing anything to HIMSELF. If he died, it wouldn't stop anything that happened, or was started, first. BESIDES, if he REALY wanted to do something by killing "himself", he would have killed the version of him that was in that timeline ORIGINALLY, The OTHER people were in the original timeline PRIOR to the event, so killing THEM WOULD have changed things.

                I've seen every episode a couple time. I've seen every movie a couple time. But I still don't understand the last one.
                At the extraction, people started disappearing, so they went back in time. In the middle, Vala sliced Baal in half. He dead.
                Later on, Cam shot Baal in the head. He dead. Again.
                Then they get back to the extraction. But he didn't die. The snake was just removed.
                So that means, his clones had to go back. They had to miss a couple.

                    Lots of people do. That's not all that uncommon. Very few use them as a reason for leaping to tall conclusions about whole groups of others, though.

                    Lots of people think science fiction is childish and immature, too. Does their opinion really reflect anything about you? Or just about them?

        Um.........okay. I've never watched Stargate so I don't get it. It might be funny or clever as hell if I did watch the show - but not knowing anything about that allusion........it just looks kinda lame and arrogant.

        Not trying to debase you here - just letting you know that the allusion isn't caught by everyone - from the looks of this thread, quite a few people - so make sure when you use an allusion in business, it's going to understood by your potential customer base, at least.

        A better way to say that would be "I tried Google and didn't find what I was looking for."

        The responses you get are a reflection of the way you word things to begin with, and the way you word things is a reflection of your attitude. Adjust your attitude and I think you'll find other people's responses to you are more to your liking.

        Lose the attitude that others should do your bidding for you. You're looking for a piece of people's time, and few will want to give it to you when your attitude is one of entitlement.

        Asking others to change to suit you isn't going to work. You change, or you'll be fighting against yourself and blaming it on others until you do.

    @cashiskinginfo..the best thing if you really want to learn from others, get great information and be part of an awesome ebusiness forum..?

    Start again from scratch:

    1) change your signature..not everyone here understands what it means, and would take it as arrogant..I'm a Star Wars fan as well, but you shouldn't have it as a signature in a business forum.
    2) be involved in the community and all it offers, which is worth a million bucks as far as value is concerned.
    3) more importantly, change your attitude and be helpful to fellow WARRIORS, than demanding with a give me and defensive attitude..it goes a long way my friend.

      You hear that in Wisconsin some too. Mostly from the Polish population.

          Does that mean I should cancel the U-Haul rental?

            No, no, not at all.

            You could still rent it, load it up with some good stuff from your house, and bring it here. :p

    Yes, indeed! Polish friends of mine say "eh" quite often. Their heavy accent in combination with the use of "eh" is quite comical

    I have since found out that one of the 60 pounders (aged rye) that was left on my deck was from a polish couple that vacation here in the summertime.

    Someone saw them leave it here in exchange for picking some berries off my mountain ash tree. When I tried to give it back, they became visibly upset. Polish folks are very hospitable and when they give you something, you keep it or you run the risk of unintentionally insulting them.

      I think hearing East European accents in English sounds great, and I can even understand it up to 40% of the time.

        TB, I absolutely love their accent. I can understand them better in the daytime, though. It's tough trying to read lips in the dark

      Yes, most of the Polish folks I know are very nice and have a very strong sense of fairness. That sense of fairness includes giving something back in return for anything given to them, whether tangible goods or something as simple as a favor. They're a noble people in my experience.

    Awh, Terra Thanks! It's good to see you too!
    I've not been hiding. I just completed the Honey Do list I've put off for 32 ummm, 33, ummm, 34,...years. Anyway, I came Lick-a-T-split when I seen your reply. I guess that comment might have kinda screwed up the behaving thing I had going on huh? Hate it when that happens, damn. :p

    Have a Great Day!

      Awesome! Now when my wife brings her honey-do list up I can just say I'm trying to break Michael's record. :p

    I don't take it personally when someone is being rude on a forum or even in real life.

    If they want to be rude they can. I just go on with my life.

    Don't say Google it, like a smartalex.
    If that's how you treat new members. Then why am I even in here for.
    Everyone was a new member at one time.

    Is this how you treat new members?
    I was reading some other posts. Where you were rude to the OP.
    Bear with them!
