They're basically like the freshmen class of ATRL.

I agree with both of you. I, personally, never had a problem with the whole join date thing. When I joined, I was respected fairly quickly, as I wasn't throwing shade and attacking members and artists within my first 100 posts. I think that is the main reason that people are so quick to attack new members, because most new members seem to go into attack mode from day 1. I don't think that it's fair to disregard a member's posts simply because they haven't been on ATRL for several years, but at the same time, you have to earn respect.
It goes hand-in-hand with that old saying, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you".
