[DENIED] 'Newest Member's Section' Idea

I don't think xenforo could make another section like the way you want to do it. I may be wrong but the only way to do this would be changing their the user's rank/color which I doubt would happen. Kewl idea broo

 

This already got denied when I tried to get it approved, I still support it but know it will fail once again

 

On the flip side vaders may use that section to intentionally scam legitimately new members.

 

Notable Members | Sell & Trade Game Items | OSRS Gold | ELO

Not exactly what you want but there's always that it pretty much shows people who have joined today. Might not show all of them but shows a few.

 

Vaders gonna vade. It's nice to see you're trying to rid the scammers from returning but it's just going to slow them down for a short period + make them learn from their mistakes and find out where they went wrong, since private reports are no longer allowed.

I also think staff/ regular members should use their time more wisely than headhunt newcomers on a forum but I do also understand your point, but it merely slows them down as opposed to rid them. There are plenty of guides stickied all over the forums on how to stay safe, there are also plenty of highly reputable MiddleMen on the forum to prevent scams. People new to the forums should read the stickies as opposed to being stupid and handing their money over to sketchy users that have very recently joined/ have very little trades upfront.

 

Definitely not, impostors would abuse the shit out of it. I understand the premise but in reality it’d be a concern

 

No support, I feel like this should be something implemented for staff for catching vaders. There is already a stigma against new users, no need to worsen it.

 

Support, I disagree this will increase the number of scams. I am new but reading all the threads to help protech u from scams is pretty easy.

Also could send a message out when newcomers first join linking them to a scam protection thread (yes everyone join for a different game) but the principal is still there.

 

Sythe is not meant to be a hunting grounds.

No.

 

Do that without the forum providing u additional tools for the entire community to bounty hunt new members and harass them then.

I can appreciate banning scammers as much as the next member but there is a line there, I have no desire for the sites new slogan to be "Welcome to Sythe.org where if your name is on this list or you decide to register with us you will be audited by 50 different people and analyzed and possibly contacted and home IP Twc'd".

Home IP twcs in my opinion were already tip toeing over the line, this DEFINTELY is lol.

 

As @veng already mentioned, this is currently available on the forums. Our focus should be on welcoming users, not assuming they are scams waiting to happen, everyone starts somewhere. And as @Dunworry said, making this easier to access would likely make these users targeted more. This has been denied.
