Spam Forum Required Post Count/Join Date

[Rsaccounttrader]

It'll be a cesspit irrespective of any access changes you make. The problems that come from the section are attributable to the entire concept of the forum rather than because of people with low postcount and a recent member date going in there. Moreover, part of the Spam Forum culture has always been a feeling of elitism -- making the Spam Forum more exclusive will only consolidate the feeling of elitism Spam Forum members have, which make them feel important and will bring together the Spam Forum's members in a negative way -- into a faction.

Not sure how elitist 25 or 50 posts would be. I wouldn't go higher than 50, however.

Honestly, just make a small post count requirement, like 20-50 and then a one month on the site requirement. That means that most normal users would be able to post in it very soon after they join and random vaders who feel like bashing the staff after a bad decision won't be able to unless they plan ahead, which most likely will not happen.

A small post count would be nice, but I'd prefer a small join date .

I'd say 5 month requirement for another spam forum, and just keep the currentone too

why not request a exclusive spam form for the donation lounge then? most people who are posting in this thread have donated. It also benefits the site by giving more people incentive to donate, and you get your own personal hideaway from vaders. just a thought but yea.

I'd personally disagree with making it paid members only.

I also think that a post count requirement is useless. As many have pointed out, it's a simply matter of spamming that much. Anyone with half a brain can manage to post that many comments without getting yourself infracted for spamming.

A join date requirement seems the most sensible suggestion, although 6 months as initially suggested would be far too long. Possibly 1 month, or 3 months, would be a better idea.

im not suggesting move the spam fourm but simply making a 2nd that would reside in the donation lounge. although most do go into the spam fourms to spam its what they are meant for.

I really don't like what the Spam Forum has become. I really like this idea. It would bring down the amount of vaders, etc., and make the forum more enjoyable again.

 

[Bubba Fuzz]

I support a 3 or 1 month old account limitation. You could do a post count but that is really easy to get up so I would suggest doing the join date instead.

I'm an active and good member, so what if I haven't donated?

Both works better. Then to plan ahead the need to register an account and post on it and then wait a month. Its really hard for vaders to do if they want a couple of accounts but simple for most members.

Much too long.

Been suggested before. There really isn't a point.

Join the two together and you get a much better system. Read above. ^

The spam forum is nothing but non sense anyways if you want to have a real conversation with someone other then just seeing pointless threads and constant "umads" try posting in the something for all section. As for the evaders I wouldn't mind seeing the the post count from the donor lounge being removed I honestly don't see any "real" topic people can talk about within that section either then bragging about donating a large amount of money that just results in people constantly trolling and people repeating the same retarded lines like "new faith", like really thats not fucking annoying at all when you read it for the one billionth time.

The donators lounge isn't a spam forum and won't ever be. Its been suggested many times.

Bump. Extremely good suggestion here. One month and 50 post count would be amazinggg.

I think you have garnered enough community support, Deacon, I would PM Sythe asking to implement the 1 month and 50 post count rule, or whatever he sees as just.

I don't really support this. It's only going to attract people to mass create accounts and keep them for storage.

This was discussed, and the thread was left open after Sythe posted on it as well.

Generally, I would agree with you that the DNS list should be upheld, but when certain circumstances arise, it's necessary to break the rules in order to fix what has come about.

I agree, rsaccounttrader, I'll send an admin a PM linking to show the support.

Sythe approved. Limit stands at 10 posts. Gratz all.

What an accomplishment! I honestly can't tell if your prosy statement was sarcasm or truth, 10 posts litterly doesn't raise the bar nor change anything.
