New guys - do we welcome them?

A) I'd love to see where this has been demonstrated sir.

B) I'm only guessing but I think there is a distinct possibility just from this statement that your attitude is the problem, not the mods.

C) I fail to see how this has anything to do with helping newbies.

a) I'm only guessing, but I think there's a distinct possibility just from your question, that you are a moderator.

b) 2 warnings in 15yrs is indeed a reflection of my attitude.  Brilliant analysis.

c) Then, pay attention.  Context is everything.

I enjoy helping and seeing Ah community helping out. This last weekend call sign Grin' I think was showing a newbie the ropes. I was glad to fly along for top cover while they bagged a few. I do draw the line when they use the 'Help channel' as a chat line and lay down the squelch hammer.
Viva la AH

Pots helped me when I was a noob! For that, I will always be thankful. It takes a veteran of the game to help the new guys. As well as new guys helping. This is still the best thing on the interweb, and we must not let it due cause we don't have time to answer a question or help a noob out. We need new blood if this is to survive!

1Alibaba helped me plenty when I was a noob, among others.

Skyyr actually spent time teaching me a few things in the DA after some old timer called me names on 200. 

The problem is that many noobs are shades.   The other issue is most noobs have no idea how to seek help.

     I'm sorry I have not taken the time to read this whole thread, but I would like to say that ANY new player, or old player for that matter is welcome at anytime to come fly with the 49thFG.  We are currently on the Knights country, and will be switching to Rooks on Halloween.  For those of you who do not know the 49th prides itself on helping to train new players.  We also like to show the old salts some new things every now & then to.  I am the CO of the squad and it took me forever to learn most of the subtle nuances to the game.  I realized that I wasn't going to spend 30 to 40 hours offline training, and found little to no help in the training arena, and also would have not spent the hours there to learn either.  Therefore, the 49th does a lot of on the job training to help new & old players learn the ropes and delve deep in to the nuances that make up AH. 

ANYONE IS ALWAYS WELCOME TO FLY WITH THE 49TH & we especially like to get NEW GUYS, before they are tainted & jaded by the hater community.
