Re: Welcome the Newbies
Orrrrrrrr.... recognize they are a newbie that made a mistake, and PM them. Even veteran CD'ers, PM them if you have a comment. For me, it takes a LOT to negative rep (I don't think I've ever done it though, despite the urge). The "word to the wise" is much more effective with "words" that can be fully explained in a PM, or several PMs. Perhaps after a discussion you will find there was a misunderstanding... maybe not...
Personally, I think neg rep is silly unless it's really severe or is blatantly rude, offensive, or uncalled for.. But for "not searching" or "bringing back old threads", come on. Some of the neg rep cases I've heard about just seem unnecessary.
