I have been in these forums since January before the great Janus himself (it was a dffernt username).
Making a new account for any reasons isn't allowed, there's a way to get your name changed, btw.....
And you've been here since January? No, that's not a long time at all, and quite frankly, I don't think ANYONE has the right to call someone else a noob/newb, regardless of how long they've been around, though I can see why some of the veteran members (those who've been around longer than a year) might complain about how the forums are getting messed up by new people who don't read rules.

It doesn't matter how long you are here for.Unless you have been here for five years and have forgot to read the rules, then you're stupid.
If you know the rules (Which i do) and if you do not abide by them, it's just as simple as getting Restricted 4 lyfe! (I know... It should be "for life"...)
Anyone who registers here should be forced to read the rules. I know HV knew them, but alot of new people do not because they jsut don't bother to read them. Knowing the rules and what-not-to-dos of this forum does not require experience, although i am sure your time here has granted you some lee-way over others and more knowledge over the KMC.
I totally agree that everyone should have to read the rules before joining, I even have made a suggestion as to how to make this happen (though I doubt it'll ever happen). I know the rules inside and out, personally.
Though one thing I'll say is that the length of time you're on here doesn't really grant you leeway in rule-breaking. I've been here nearing two years and am good friends with several mods, and I've still gotten yelled at when I lose my cool and bash people. I obviously don't do it very often though.
I personally don't like rulebreakers and those who support rulebreakers. If someone breaks the rules and gets banned, then deal. If it was someone you actually cared about/were friends with, you'd have other ways of staying in touch with them (MSN, AIM, yahoo, etc) anyway.
