Going through post by post it was clear to me she was here to troll, probably knowing that acting like a new cammer and NOT using the search function is the easiest way to rile things up around here.
What I hate the most about people taking advantage of the fact that asking basic questions on sw is like dropping chum into the sea is that it makes life difficult for the real new members here, who may be shy, nervous, overwhelmed or simply unfamiliar with how forums operate. SW was my first forum, I didn't know ish about the search function when I first started reading here.
Since this now banned member started posting here on her two accounts I've seen really nasty post responses to legit new member questions, even in existing threads. I hope we don't allow the occasional troll to turn this community into a hostile place that alienates new members and that we try to remember that, despite the occasional troll, behind every sw handle there is a peer, a real person who comes to sw seeking not just information but human connection in what we all know can be a very isolating form of work.
This now banned member is one isolated incident, I hope we don't allow this person to turn sw into an ugly place where rudeness and cruelty is par for the course when interacting with new members. As a member here I don't wanna be a part of a place like that
