ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!
Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956
Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)
Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.
These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.
1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.
2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.
3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.
4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.
The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.
The rules for the overall forum can be found here:
http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/forumdisplay.php?f=144
Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

Next time I see you asking a legitimate question, I'll go out of my way to make you feel stupid too.

I'm serious when it comes to the Beginner Forums. When I first started coming to this site, I wasn't the owner, or even a moderator... I was just a beginner. I was impressed by all the helpful people. After being flamed off of Honda Tech and a number of other sites, it was refreshing to see that I could ask my "dumb" questions on CB7tuner.com and not get attacked for it. I began to think that perhaps CB7 owners were a different breed... we have a sense of pride and humility that other people don't have (due perhaps to the fact that our cars are so underestimated, or that the oldschool CB7ers are willing to help anyone...) As things progressed, and I became a mod, and then the owner, I saw things changing a bit. People stopped helping each other and began the same elitist crap that you get on Honda Tech. New members were no longer welcome to ask "stupid" questions.
The occasional searcher would dig up 6 threads pertaining to their topic, 5 of which were nothing but flaming. The one thread that contained some answers may or may not have the information they need. If it doesn't have it, they make a new thread to ask. Then there are 6 threads containing nothing but flaming.
The beginner forums slowed that down a bit. They are intended to protect those with "stupid" questions. They are intended to keep the elitist assholes at bay. They are intended to make this forum a better place than any other Accord forum you could visit.

See what i dont understand is........
how hard is that to understand?
Everyone starts somewhere...no one on this board started off a wizard...every single one started out a beginner needing help on changing oil...period the end.
Some are better then others, or just take more inititave but in the end it is what it is.
A newbie asks a question...hell they might not be a newbie...they might know more then anyone else on this board and be testing peeps to see what the attitute is on this board....one dumbass says "hahaha ur an idiot" and thats it..hes gone forever....
so ya /rant

I agree that the beginner forums are a good idea to keep the flaming down, but I also think there has to be something more we can do to cut down on the repeat questions; because seeing the same question for the veterans and taking the time to search, and then repost a link or rewrite an answer does cause more clutter than I think is necessary. I don't know if we need one thread written up and locked as an index for the common questions or something similar. I have seen a few forums that have a "commonly asked question thread" and it seemed to help. Just an idea...Retired 1990 Accord LX Coupe

Exactly. Unfortunately, some newbie says "VTECH" and the next thing you know you're seeing pictures of phones popping up. I'd rather answer his question, and include a correction (including the meaning of the acronym) at the end of my post.
My first question ever was "can you turn a turbo off?" on HondaHookUp.com. A few people were kind enough to help. A few were total jerks. Yeah, I knew nothing. Thanks to those that were kind enough to help me, I learned a few things. If it was all flaming, I wouldn't learn. I wouldn't have gone back. I would probably have a blown motor and 19" chrome rims right now too!
The "commonly asked questions" and various forum index threads here are the result of lots of hard work, done by the mods. Unfortunately, most people don't look there first. However, it makes for an easy fix when you can just link them there. A mod can use the "link and lock" technique that uncle_el made famous That cuts down on the flaming, and answers most questions. People will ALWAYS ask repeat questions. Hell, I do it from time to time! (I admit, I'm lazy).

We have an FAQ on one of the Lightning boards I'm on. While it is extremely helpfull and packed full of answers, without fail, we'll have to direct a newb to it at least 2 or 3 times a day. That illustrates the point I was trying to make above, lol.
And if you're going to go to the trouble to link someone to an FAQ thread, why not take just a little extra time and answer their question yourself? Afterall, that's what these boards are about. The community, the family, helping each other futher the hobby.
