Does this have *anything* to do with the recent rash of annoying newbies since anonymous posting has been disabled?  Or is it just horrific coincidence?

As someone who never got the smackdown I reserve the right to grumble.  Loudly.

Obviously, that means you were well-behaved.  Contrary to popular belief, only those newbies who are deserving actually get smacked down.  Sadly, most newbies here are deserving on at least one of the two following cardinal sins:

1) Leet Speak
2) Thread Necromancy

That's why we keep Entropy around.

Also Fish you were a student of EUOL's when you joined, he told us not to use the smackdown on you (like he does with many people who come to the forum trough him).
Screw it, I'm buying crayons and paper. I can imagineer my own adventures! Wheeee!

People who use full punctuation are drastically less likely to be smacked down.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

EUOL didn't know who I was when I joined, so he can't have told you who I was and not to smack me down.  It was a full month later that he found out my identity.  

Mostly I think it was because I didn't post outside the Please Save Paul thread for a month after I arrived, because I didn't want to be annoying or look stupid.  

More people should have these fears.   :P

There are definitely some socialization issues with many of the noobs.

Where are all these crazy newbies coming from?  The Palladium forums via the folks praising Fell?  

It's a spawning season for annoying posts.
