Simply state your opinion without bashing someone else's. Even if you disagree listen. They might have a valid reason for what they say and change your mind.

This thread will live on through us newbies!

I heard this forum could be a bit aggressive for newbies but I think it's often taken that way because everyone seems pretty blunt and to the point. If your enclosure sucks people are going to call you on it and for good reason.

Plus it is really annoying when us newbies post questions that could be answered through quick google searches.

We ask people on here for first hand experience there is a lot of false and misleading information on the internet. People on here know there stuff they should be happy to help others with less experience who are obviously interested in learning more about there animals. We cant all be experts straight away

Of course people are happy to help. And I know finding the right info can be hard. But there is a difference between someone asking 'hi, I'm looking to get into tarantulas but don't know where to start' and 'hi, I bought this P.metallica a week ago as my first spider but it looks to be almost dead and this is her enclosure *shows a terrarium with a stick and no waterdish*, what do I do?' or the newbie flipping because someone says his set up is wrong, and instead of adjusting just throws a fit.
It's not only important to be nice to new keepers. It is equally important to be nice to the experienced ones

Absolutely, they have a lot of great knowledge to brush off i respect all tarantula keepers i understand where you are coming from there are a lot of stubborn people out there

Hey, I like it. This is the first time I've gotten more positive reactions than when I posted an apology about being an idiot and telling someone they posted in the wrong section when it was in fact I who was in the wrong section.

I’m a noob here on arachnoboards but long time lurker, just last night I created a profile, because I couldn’t see the pics that someone posted about their spider losing a leg... the same happened to mine.

But yes as long as there are people there will always be differences in opinion. The way you handle the situation/opinion entails the outcome.
