LOL love the type-casting it is sooo true! Yet, what does it say about me that part of the enjoyment is picking these types out when I pop on. I think the only type I DO NOT like to encounter is the perverted troll type [the one who is always “taking pictures” while going around the a space].

Wow< I really hadn't noticed this much on Home's Hub space (mainly because it's not the space i hang out mostly at) I do regard the Acorn park as the 'New' hangout spot for the home citizen. So far it seems far more pleasant there, from my first experiences of being there and far less threatening.

Some of the Newcomers i will try my best to help, because i do go about the saying 'Can you remember a time when YOU were new?'

Gang cultures will appear on ANY virtual world or major chatroom, and unfortunately almost impossible to escape from.

Great read!

Of all these I find the fake newcomer being the most subversive. The other ones, if annoying, can easely be avoided/ignored. You can only guess the fake noob after the 14th questions…And then he already acheived his goal. I ran into a couple of these. That won’t stop me from helping people but I am now more cautious and somewath less patient.

Good write Kass, this is so true. I tend to just stroll by nowadays. In the past, I was a little more ‘engaging’ but that was screaming at a pig, my voice got hoarse and the pig didn’t change. Of the groups you outlined, I am most offended by the fake gangstas that promote the fams with their virtual graffiti. I live in southern California and have seen the blight of graffiti all my life, and to see ‘fancy’ letters virtually sprayed on my screen is just so annoying. Thanks Kass, now I’m mad…LOL. Good one Kass.

Very funny and sadly true article Kass. I rarely go to public areas anymore unless I want to run orbs or play at the casino and then I tend to ignore the PM’s and such from people unless I think they are new and don’t know better, then I tell them not to do that unless they know a person.
I like to help new people as much as I can, I usually tel them about Alphazone4 and direct them somewhere to get free stuff. I want their impression of Home to be a good one at first, then if they run into others who aren’t so nice, they can see that there are also nice people in Home as well and might stick around, which is good for everyone in the long run.
Nice article as always.

Oh, and yea all I ever saw at the Bowling Alley was FAMs, Drama, and more FAMs — sooo annoying. And just sad that they think they’re so tough behind keyboards and tv screens.

LOL, spot on! Usually I just move to a different area (in the same space) when I run into any of these people, but if I can’t/don’t want to, I certainly make use of the Ignore button or Report if necessary. These people can often also be found at (the spaces I frequent) Aurora, Casino, Southern Hideaway, Peakvox Labs, and the Midways. I’ve never thought of “fake newcomers” though. I’ll have to look out for this, thank you!
