I have another thing to add, Warmor.

When you first join, please refrain from starting new threads right off the bat (what Warmor said). However, when you DO start a new thread, make sure of a few things: 1) It is not something like "I'm New, and I'll kick your ass!" or something stupid like that, because if you do that, you'll have everyone on the board verbally raping you. And then there's 2) If you're going to start a new thread, make sure there's no existing thread on the same topic. An example of this is the thread Pharao started, something about how the next character should be Iceman. What he should have known was that there were at least four other threads on that subject, and one of them was an Official Discussion. And at least, 3) don't go dissing other people right off the bat (unless you've got a good reason to, like making fun of OmniSlasher), because you'll have half the board beating you down in the chats.

I hope these two posts will help all nOObs in the future, and reduce future confrontations.

--Sincerely--
