You know, maybe we could, like... accuse newcomers of being Turt's alt all the time?I mean, I get that walking straight into Spam isn't normal behavior and it's kind of reason for suspicion... if you're a mod, who can check these things. Maybe you can say that it sounds suspicious, but there is a possibility that it's not an alt, you know, so don't sound so certain about it. :I Isn't there a possibility that this newcomer joined, looked around at the different forums, saw "Spam" and wondered what it might be (since it's not exactly the sort of thing found on your average roleplaying forum), thus leading him inside?Not at all implausible if you ask me - especially now that Spam is listed separately away from OT and such. Kind of makes it stand out more, I think.

Thank you for your concern, but I'm not afraid to voice such opinions. I mean sorry but your whole post kind of sounds like "Don't say what you feel needs to be said, cuz then you'll be shamed by all of Spam. It's better to hide your true opinions in order to fit in" and that's kind of bullcrap. Spam shouldn't have to be that way. There tends not to be too strong of a backlash when I stick up for newbs, anyway. It's not the first time I've said something in a situation like this.Besides, I didn't say he definitely for sure Turt, just that he not be Turt, so we shouldn't make that assumption and make a new guy feel unwelcome when he did .

It is a tradition to call new people who made a b-line for spam alts, as you should know. It's also become a maymay to accuse them of being Turt. Neither accusation is totally serious, so I don't know why you're making a speech about it now of all times.

The thing with calling every newcomer Turt is a joke, and if you say it and mean it then there is a major problem.

Kaga said
Mostly because this newcomer clearly isn't aware it's a joke - and why would he be? I just think it makes more sense to haze newcomers for doing stupid shit that warrants it, rather than them just walking in doing nothing noteworthy.

I've seen you jump on people based on assumptions plenty of times, so I don't know why it bothers you in this case. and like broby and I said: it's not very serious. Part of how the jokes here work is you're thrown into them without any prior knowledge. We accused a bunch of people of being Turt and they rolled with it and figured it out and starting playing around with it, much like Derp did.Trying to figure out what makes this situation different from all the others.

Eh, I guess I'm looking too deeply into it. I seem to be getting rather easily annoyed lately. I'll stop.
