Never welcome test posts.

Do you think we should tell them to fuck off instead? That wouldn't be
very nice.

[Blueshirt]

The mistake they made was not saying "Hello".

Saying "This is a test" will always lead to somebody saying 'this is
not a test newsgroup' or something similar...

What would Usenet be without all these sheriffs?

A nicer place.

Yeah, right. Chaos is always much better.
This ain't a test group. He simply in one sentence said that "Welcome"
is not an appropriate response for a test in a non-test group. You're
not dumb. You should understand that. Instead, you prefer to live in
this little dream world where everybody gets a trophy for participating,
and chose to attack AHK in what is really a childish manner. Grow the
hell up!

I expect that you realise by now that testing in a live group is likely
to be controversial. Don't be put off! Usenet is a fun place full of
fun people. It's also a weird place full of weird people and it can be
a nasty place full of nasty people. Usenet is what you make of it.

Now that we've got that out of the way, hello. Tell us about yourself
in this place made for new users, that's what it's for. :-)

That's not what I meant.

AHK could have written the same message in a style like a friendly
neighbour. That would increase the chance of having an effect.

Another moral judgement on your part. Now who's being the netcop?

I stand by the part you snipped without noting that...

Instead of acknowledging the truth of his post, you made a judgement
that it didn't fit your acceptable terms of a response. YOU were
placing him in the criminal category and behaving like the sheriff.

And after reading this, you double down and again make a judgement about
his 4 simple words to belittle him and say his post wasn't friendly
enough. I don't care if you get it or not. I just find your hypocrisy
amusing.
