As a newbie and a memory like the money in a gamblers wallet , I need all the pointers I can .
I suggest a text filter on the submissions that generates a warning and explains the recurring problem .
The submitter could then edit or delete at will .
Each old hand halfbaker would get one search text
string
and one corresponding why warning of their deepest annoyance .
Examples could include specific logic flaws , unity machines , piddling energy generators or even a spelling or grammar mistake .
The cleverness would be in the text used for matching .
Your login would be attached so the newbie would know to whom the warning was generated from .
A newbie contest would be how many warnings a single post could generate .
a piddling energy generator

Come to think of it, why *do* you put those annoying spaces in front of your punctuation? |
|
| |
I think it might be catching , even if not so fetching . |
|
| |
good catch [jutta], I was going to complain that ideas that try to add functions to the halfbakery,or give veteran bakers jobs to do, are just annoying. |
|
| |
uh oh, is this a call for a list? |
|
| |
If old-fashioned hazing was good enough for us... |
|

If you're a newbie [wjt] , I'm not even born yet . |
|

Good call [theleopard]. I re-read that a bunch of times wondering if [wjt] just meant *if* one was a newbie.
My pets do annoy me sometimes. |

| |
What's an old hand halfbaker? And why are their annoyances more important than anyone elses? |
|
| |
Perhaps a general piece of advice to any newbies is to resist the urge to post anything in the halfbakery:criticism category. |

[ jutta ] spaces are to help my parser . |
|
| |
[ theleopard ] I consider myself a newbie because I haven't yet hit that rich flood of croissants that will send me to my demise . |
|
| |
[ hidden truths ] An old hand is one that has received a 100 plus pastries . |
|
| |
one hundred?! Thats a lot is it not? |
