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.

Wow. Just when I think about venturing outside the comforts of the Lounge, we get yet another thread from another forum category detailing reasons not to bravely go where others dare to tread. laugh out loud

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. laugh out loud

Oh no, it's a mean person that the OP spoke about, I'm going back underground cowering! LMAO
Who's talking about cowering in fear?? Most people just don't enjoy being treated with disrespect when it's so much easier and a much more pleasant experience to be treated with kindness and respect. Mostly, my thoughts are that it takes the same number of words typed into a post, sometimes a lot less, in fact, to give someone a little help or provide a link to where the Help FAQ or tips might be, than it takes to type all the crapola people type into a reply just to be snarky. If you'll notice, most people who are bullies just love to see their own words, regardless as to whether they are really necessary or not. Makes them feel smart, I guess.

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.

Whee Glad this thread made it over here.... Thought it was deleted while i was looking for the bitch & whine thread but got distracted by the marines & hookers.....

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
The most annoying part of this whole thread was having to look at this font/ color.

It really accentuates the grammar mistakes. I hate to pull a Nagin, but it makes my ass twitch.
