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.

Yeah, remember I was a regular poster there for a year or two before I started posting in the lounge?

I've only been posting in the lounge for a little over a year, I think. Smilie


I'd had enough of the podium - you can only rehash the same issues with the same people so many times before it's like... Head Bang

The lounge is a *different place* in slickdeals.

As for the deals in the grocery/drugstore B&M deals I wouldn't doubt they're a little annoyed. There has been a huge influx of newbies, especially after *that* show. The newbies tend to crap in threads and ask a lot of questions that could easily be answered if they actually read the thread. Kind of expecting deals to be spoon fed to them and ignoring forum and thread guidelines. And, most people will be pleasant, kind and tolerant when someone brand new does this a little...but when it's a lot and a whole lot of people are doing it I'm sure it gets on their nerves.
Have you ever tried reading the FAQ for this place? It's like someone handing you a copy of War and Peace to read before you post.

What's a FAQ?

Seriously, there should be a section here were they list a bunch of questions that people frequently ask.

I agree. And make your question the first question with an answer.

My first question would be how to divide by zero.

It IS possible you know. I never got there in school, but there's a trick to do it sometimes.

post and don't worry - I also don't like to read long threads, but atleast read the OP and the wiki - most of the important stuff is there, and then try to search (it DOES work every once in a blue moon), and maybe just add a few people to your ignore list
