"how do i build?" "how do i make money" "how do i get a car" "how do i get a bear costume like yours"

okay, my awnser to those qestions are "hit the build button, duh" "buy lindens" "buy the cars" "from vendors and IM A (censord) BORDER COLLIE, NOT A BEAR, LEARN BIOLOGY!"

how can you think a dog is a bear?, BEARS ARE NOT IN THE CANIDE FAMILY!

anyway, how do i avoid these stupid noob questions?

Well personally I don't mind spending 30 seconds explaining something to a newbie, because (as you should know as you are quite new), we were all 'stupid noobs' at one time. Maybe go sit in a hole with with your fingers in your ears?

I dont really see the questions as stupid, we were all new once! Also I still ask other residents now where they got a certain avie, skirt or such from...word of mouth is the best way to find the best items!

We were all new and to be frank if we were all so blunt then none of us would learn anything!

For instance.. saying "hit the build button" is hardly an answer.. its not even a wise one.. how about directing them to the ivory tower maybe instead? At least they want to learn!

Little things make all the difference.

But well if I am asked for sex by someone fresh off Orientation island...that does not get quite the friendly answer back!

If you're trying to get people to avoid you, I'd say your sanctimonious attitude is a really good start.

1. Don't hang out in noob areas. I have never been asked these questions while shopping or while building on my own land or even in a sandbox really.

2. Send them to the NCI areas where there are people who don't mind answering questions.

3. Have them IM me if I'm online. I get a little bored and wouldn't mind giving someone a noob makeover. However, my SL addiction has run its course and I am only online once in a while.

4. Remember that SL is buggy and people may not see your avatar as you do. If you are in gray mode, who knows what you might look like? My own avatar looks fat to me when we are all gray (or grey). Also there are a lot of language and idiom barriers to overcome. On the other hand - some people are just not very bright, but they should get a chance to enjoy SL too.
