Some newbies eagerly post without reading about the frustrations of veteran users first and receive hostile reply because they are unaware that many would prefer the "search first, ask later" policy that seems to be in practice.
Well, the thing is, unless you are interested in an NPHC group, that info really doesn't apply. A 60 year old alum of an NPC group registering and getting a message like that will probablly just get confused and not participate.

The best rule for GC or ANY message board is: LURK FOR A WHILE BEFORE YOU REGISTER/POST. Unless you're stupid, you can figure out how things are done just by shutting up and reading.
