I have to admit Kezil, I'm with Abtronic on this one.... especially now that there is a warning that takes up half the screen about what to expect from AO and what is expected from newbies before signing up. It's not like this screen is hidden in the FAQ's or anything either - it's right in your face. You can only go so far and if someone can't be bothered to read the first half page before they join well I can only say that they deserve to be pulled up on it (although getting negged to the point of being banned for a minor indescretions is a bit harsh). Having said that I think people should put more explanation into their comments bit of an AP assignment indicating why the newbie is getting negged.... maybe they'll learn something
