We are, first and foremost, a club. We exist for the benefit of our members. We always welcome people into the club, but they have to understand that there are certain ways of doing things in a club. Some people catch on and enjoy the spirit here; some don't.

For example, there are people who find it normal to come in and start (sometimes from their very first post) making requests for changes to this and that, instead of doing some research and figuring out what this community is all about. We tolerate those folks, but we like to slap them a bit to see if they can figure out what's wrong with the way they behave. If they can't, we are more than inclined to kick them out ~~to keep the growth of the community in check~~. There are other Ninja 250 websites that might be better suited for those people.

Imagine going to a friend's house and telling them you can't stand the furniture and that the place really needs to be repainted. We can't, either.
