Question
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.

I'm joking but part of it rings true. SD is a HUGE community and each forum has its own style and rules, some of those unwritten. Sometimes it is difficult to step into other forums knowing there are those who love nothing better than to point out what an idiot you are, often without explaining why they think so.
Most of the people here are nice. Sometimes it difficult seeing that over the cacophony of voices by those who aren't. You need to learn to filter out the crap spewed by the few so you can see the good that happens here. You can't change their behavior. You can only control how you react to it.
Keep your chin up OP. That really pisses off those who love to stir the SD pot.
If you ( or any other person ) don't have any help to give, or no time to give it, or feel you're just making the person not have to find the rules and stick to them, then why not just move on and ignore the post. Someone kinder usually will step in and help or find the right words to encourage the person as to how to post, and then you can make better use of your own time doing something else. Makes everybody's day a lot nicer.

Now OP .......... Who the hell cares.......... this isnt real life.......... and really if you want to get into the DS deals........... you Definitely need to get used to being treated like shit everyday....... not from the forum but from Real Life Employees..........
Now if "everyone" got treated so horribly in the DS forum........... NO ONE would post there.... sigh ~~~ this is silly
Which is why I said dark red was not a good color for this person

We are worse than the Coupon/Drug Store people
Only thing is we still type normally in black without going "bold"
I just skipped over it.

Ya right, Ice. Bigga things. Much bigga. There's a store in the 'other' hood. I wanna check it out. I got coo-pons too. Think we'll get shanked going over there?
