No amount of explaining will change the fact that kids will always want more than what they have, and in this case, I don't think it's worth extending our reputation for strictness over such an unimportant issue.
I honestly think that we (well, well known/prolific posters) could use this thread to focus on the issues we have ourselves, not those of others, as we set the example for others.
What you said, is completely true. Even here, we kinda made a discussion about Hasbro complaints. Yes, the biggest reason has to be late releases as well as TT's limitations. Simply no TT beys are available all over the world, hence creating a burden on Hasbro, who have their products everywhere. Again, seems like I am straying from the topic.
As you said, kids won't understand and some experienced members HAVE to help them. The problem is, some kids tend to get into the conversation by-
1. Creating useless (yes, the creators do not know they are useless) threads.
2. Posting a lame question(the answer to which is probably everywhere around this site) like- How to put on a face bolt?
3. One liners.
4. Trying to be friendly by commenting on things.
5. Here's a recent example from Random Thoughts-

6. Crib about things, the most famous topic being Hasbro Whining. People think they look cool by complaining about Hasbro. Its like- 'Uh... I ain't going in that Mercedes.. I hate the name and color of it... Man, I miss my Lambo now.
Mercedes sucks!' *show off*
Most kids around here just want to get into conversation, and I have got some PMs about the matter too. Some PMs I receive, read- Why didn't you reply to my post? etc. etc.
They forget that they are probably not in a chat room or an FB-like environment.
All this, is from my experience. The solution to these problems is unknown to me though..
