We are, first and foremost, a club. We exist for the benefit of our members. We always welcome people into the club, but they have to understand that there are certain ways of doing things in a club. Some people catch on and enjoy the spirit here; some don't.

For example, there are people who find it normal to come in and start (sometimes from their very first post) making requests for changes to this and that, instead of doing some research and figuring out what this community is all about. We tolerate those folks, but we like to slap them a bit to see if they can figure out what's wrong with the way they behave. If they can't, we are more than inclined to kick them out. There are other Ninja 250 websites that might be better suited ~~for~~ those people.

Imagine a guest coming into your home and immediately telling you that they cannot stand your furniture and color scheme, and insisting that things would be much better if you changed to what they were more used to. Would you consider them a gracious guest and find their suggestions helpful, or would you instead find such behavior a bit rude, even irritating?
