Re: Why it is sometimes hard to be a student on CD.
These type of posts on CD are tough ones to comment on. TBH I never noticed the dots/rep system. I do know that people on here tend to get "judgy" when one of the royalty is questioned. This happens with pretty good reason overall, but it does make it one of the least welcoming online forums I have ever been part of. Which struck me as very odd because these same people giving kids a hard time about asking a dumb question are the same ones that will hand that same kid $1,000 worth of shop equipment just to help them compete.

The FIRST community is just plain incredible, it doesn't always translate well into how CD treats newcomers. Personally I never really had much of an issue one way or the other, but I have seen people get truly and completely roasted (usually it seems tempers tend to flare more when we have a boring game, this year I haven't seen as much of that).

Just my 2 cents.
