I have been coming to Slickdeals for a long time...

Just recently I have begun frequenting this section of Slickdeals. I am a member of other boards relating to couponing also, and I have received nothing but welcome from these other boards. From reading these threads here at Slickdeals in this section daily for the the past several weeks, I am frankly afraid to post.
There seems to be a small group of people here that act like it is a crime if you don't know which thread to post in, the proper couponing etiquette, ask a question that may have been answered somewhere else, and basically anything they don't care for.
I have found quite a few awesome deals that I want to post and share here, but rarely do because of the behavior exhibited in these threads. Just food for thought. Try to remember you were once a newbie at this, and take care when you think about jumping down someone's throat.

Hang in there because there are allot of wonderful folks in the Drugstore Forum. If you are looking to save some money, you gotta just jump on in there and learn to ignore nasty comments. The nice and helpful folks will point you in the right direction, if you are posting in the wrong thread.
People who contribute very little haven't earned the right to complain about getting deals. You aren't being singled out, everyone is subjected to the same posts.. There are idiots everywhere in life, and you are the only person that can control how it impacts you.
My problem with you just from my initial exposure to you in this thread: Don't post stupid messages in improper forums.. This is not a deal, nor is it a Drugstore / Grocery B&M deal / discussion.
Are you that afraid of addressing the issue you had in the proper thread?

Tips/comments:
1). You are not a newbie, you have been around since 2008...
2). If you ask a question that was already answered, yes people get annoyed because you didn't read or search the thread. There are countless threads with people asking the same question 900 times, and it tends to get annoying for those who read.. Most will help you, but you shouldn't make a habit out of not searching
3). Don't be afraid to post. While some of us could literally reach through the computer and self-destruct your computer, we aren't likely to target someone like you
4). Ignore people like me that you don't like to hear recommendations from.. Of course you will be right back to your starting point, but at least you will be oblivious to why people respond to you as they do.

The "forum" does not treat you any way, the people who come here treat you the way they see you from your posts. Slickdeals is not missing out on you not posting, but you are missing out on the forum by taking what individual posters say to you so personally. Again, this is no different than real life, except people have the luxury of "hiding" behind a computer and saying not only what they would to you in person, but what they think about you that they might not say in person. You get the real deal on an internet forum.. If you can't tolerate people saying things you don't like, ignore them.
People typically build up a reputation when they post, and other posters will defend you if they see you unfairly targeted. The way I'm reading this, is you're creating drama by posting this very message, and avoiding taking on the direct issue that caused you to post this.
P.S. - Luckily someone helped you move the discussion into the proper forum. Oh no, I've entered the lounge AGAIN. I said I never would ACK!

2008, I agree that if you have been here that long - by now you should have read all the FAQ's in the Coupon Threads and other Threads that would have been helpful to you. By responding to other people's posts - you develop a repoir with people - and with that - you gain tutelage if you need it by said person(s).
You just can't complain without action on your own, imho. Please give it another try, you only learn by trying, otherwise, you will remain in the darkness here - and as a newbie
