Learn the F'ing rules!!!

When the guy put $7, that was less than the minimum required raise (he needed to go to at least $8). So when someone does this, is he required to raise to $8. Or is putting out the $7 considered the call, so that he can then raise to whatever he wants?

What about the ethic of getting involved when you are not in the hand?
While this may be an exception as you mentioned your righteous motivation to school the new poker room, this kind of action invariably gets under my skin.

At non-tournament play, a player who says "raise" is allowed to continue putting chips into the pot with more than one move; the wager is assumed complete when the player’s hands come to rest outside the pot area. (This rule is used because no-limit play may require a large number of chips be put into the pot.)

I think I've seen this on TV where a a player will count out and stack his bet in multiple movements and maybe restack it in smaller stacks to check his count, and then push it out towards the middle when he is done. All the first movements are made close to himself.

Yeah, I experience this all the time. The problem is you have guys running poker rooms who know nothing about the game and how it's supposed to work. Plus they have no common sense. So they just tell you what they think they remember from the manual, without any clue as to whether what they think they remember makes any sense.
