Being here for 3 years (and I'm pretty sure you've been here for about that
long), I've never seen a 'new generation' start doing something like this.

From the famous Herostratus RfA: "There's no excuse to not use the

And the perpetrator of this idiotic statement is, according to his
userpage, an RC patroller (although, blessedly, not apparently a member
of CVU).
Once we were worried about the newbie contingent getting so large that
new users were in fact starting to consider themselves old hands and
influencing Wikipedia (see: CVU admins, userbox fiasco). It's gone
beyond that, now: these days, the newbies are offering *advice* to more
clueful users, and expecting it to be taken.
So in other words the next generation is comeing through. Experence
suggests that complianing that "It wasn't like that in my day" doesn't
work too well.
