What the fuck. Typed a long post and it disappeared. Shit Happens. ROFL.
Dear Chelsea SPA,
Reading your thread, I decided to reply you to give you an insight into this so called injustice that you and many newbies might feel. In the old delphi days, the forum was quite different from what it is today. To cut the long story short, I'll leave the delphi forums and how SB started out initially.
Do understand that this so-called "not giving out of contacts to newbies process" today, has been nothing more than an evolution of the forum and its members over the last 5-7 years. Let me just digress a little, in the old days, there was alot of sharing of contacts, especially ONS exchange. One problem that happened on many occasions was that, the person who gave out the ONS contact would get Fucked by the ONS contact because the samster would say oh.. I'm so and so's friend.. then horror of horror, treat the ONS contact like a FL contact / give lewd calls etc.. which of course caused the ONS exchange to die off over the years.
There was no efficient way of separating the good samsters and the "bad" samsters. (As if anyone here are good.. LMFAO)..
The reputation system itself has been a matter of debate on many occasions and at the same time revised on numerous occasions. It is not the best method we have, in my own opinion it serves as nothing more then a novel way of self-regulation in the forum with plenty of humour and fun on the side as you watch samsters batte it out for the highest reputation point award. A zap can also be a matter of life and death to some samsters and you also see some samsters grovel at the feet of senior samsters so that they can be "cyberbuddies" and join in the clique.
It is crude but it does serve it's purpose. Do not take offence that newbies are victimized and that FL sharing is an entitlement, its not. Nobody needs to share their treasures. Imagine you having a fantastic fuck.. you might or might not want to share your gem, especially if its a FB.
Earn your wings and don't worry if you don't get that contact, move on. There's so many women prostituting around, why worry about a few pussies that you can't get.
Remember, every tree starts from a sapling.
