yaroow has reported a post.

Reason:

Just some suggestions.

[- Showing ban reason for banned members*]
Add the link to "Where did [Name here] go?" (http://www.sythe.org/showthread.php?t=1410940)

[- Vouches for GXF*]
Rather than saying it's not allowed and it's not going to change, add the reason why it is not allowed to clear things up. After all that's why this part of the thread has been made!

Explanations to follow:

@sythe.org E-Mail Addresses
Unnecessary, extra work. We have PM

- A better server or host
Users would always prefer better. There's a reason we stick to our current host.

- Application for staff forum
You apply through your actions on the site.

- Arcade
There are already tons of sites with tons of games.

- Bump button
No reason when people can just post. Also, posting makes keeping track of the time since last bump much easier, allowing for easier enforcement of fair bumping rules.

- Changes to the signature size rules
Ideal signature size has been determined so that they aren't too large or too small on the screen. Arguments could always be for slightly larger or smaller sigs, but the changes are insignificant and the size rules are clearly within a reasonable range.

- Charity section
No point, attracts beggars.

- Colored names for non-staff.
Colored names help people easily identify staff.

- Giveaway section
See charity section. People can do giveaways in community general or promotions on their sales threads.

- Invite only forum
Not a productive way to get new members.

- Larger Avatar Size
Larger size is already a donor perk.

- Larger Avatar Upload sizes
The size limit prevents excessive server load.

- List of paypal accounts that charge back*
These paypal accounts are mostly stolen so it would be unfair to people who are innocent bystanders of hacking to have their paypal posted on such a list. Additionally, there are so many paypal accounts out there and it's easy enough to shoot money
from a blacklisted one to another before paying that such a list would be pointless.

- More Moderators
Moderators are selected and promoted as the staff see the need.

- More inbox space
It's a donor perk.

- Name changes to be allowed
Causes confusion

- No middlemen application forum
OMM are a good way for new members to get introduced to trading. They provide a valuable service to the site and the role of OMM is one for which an application is ideal.

- Not allowing Luring on Sythe
Been discussed many times and unless Sythe changes his mind it will stay allowed. Generally arguments in favor go along the lines of:
1. Jagex allows it.
2. Gets more traffic for the site.
3. Functionally similar to botting, but instead of devaluing the currency of players by a little, one is wiping out an entire individual.

- Official trainers
People can determine who they want to trust or not.

- Only registered users can see the forum
Letting unregistered individuals see draw more people into the site.

- Porn section
Legal liability issues and much of the audience is under 18.

- Post count limits/requirements
Spam forum has a requirement, there's no real reason to have it for other places. Again, people need to use their judgement for who they trust.

- Rep/Thanks system
We have the vouch system and it works well.

- Requesting ranks for yourself or for others
The suggestion forum would be spammed with requests for ranks. Ranks are given out on rare occasions as the staff sees fit.
- Shoutbox
There would be lots of spam/other attacks.

- Showing ban reason for banned members*
Extra work to display and sometimes the information is best kept private. If you really want to know one, you can always try to find a scam report on the individual or ask around.

- Staff powers for non-staff members
Staff have earned the trust not to abuse them and hold the responsibility to maintain the site.

- Sythe Currency
No reason for the site to do this. Lots of cost of time with little or no gains.

- Sythe iPod app
You can access Sythe with your browser.

- Troll section
Trolling isn't welcome on Sythe outside the spam forum. A troll section doesn't make sense anyway because you wouldn't be able to troll anyone because anyone posting there would be looking to troll.

- VIP forums.
We have the donor section. A selected VIP forum would cause a lot of stupid drama.

- Vouches for GFX*
Been discussed many times as well and will not change unless the admins change their mind.

- Warez Section
Legal issues.

- Vouch/post requirements to certain sections*
People can decide who they want to trust on their own.
