Title: there would be less spaming if..............
Post by: Deadly Hamster on December 27, 2000, 05:48:44 PM
if you became a senior mamber and got a pic by the amount of time you were a member instead of amount of posts i think there would be less spaming

Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. But I do think the amount of spamming has gone down a lot in the last month or so. Perhaps it\'ll be back soon. ;)

I agree. Maybe because I have been here a long time and I have no pic. Anyway this is a good idea because the spamming is still around and everytime a new member hears about the 500 post rule they start spamming. It is a good idea but there would be a lot of angry spamming newbies.

I like that idea since I have been here longer than all of you.

Good idea. I haven\'t been here long, but I could care less about my picture. It would help the spam.
Though, its went down.

Now all we need is admin approval and it shall be done. I want a picture but I don\'t want to spam so I hope they like this idea. I think I deserve one don\'t you guys agree? huh? guys?

Rather good idea; and the rank should go up ( new ranks please! ) by the TIME you have been here. The amount of posts doesn\'t matter. The text that you write does.

But usually continous spamming gets noticed by MM and there\'s only two choices then: Either stop spamming or get banned. Simple enough?

Its a good idea..     BUT. People could reg, Post once. Then never come back too 6 months later. WELLA they get a pic. Just because they haven\'t posted much, AT ALL.  Doesn\'t mean there not a long time member, If they come back then they are.

So it should be like this.. I will chat too bjorn.

People DO need over 500 posts. BUT, They also need too be members for atleast 4 months.

That sounds like a pretty good idea Nathan. Most of the people start spamming, and realize just how much spam it would take to get to 500, and they give up. Of course, there are those few dedicated ones that never give up. I like the idea though.

Post by: Black Samurai on January 01, 2001, 11:50:44 PM
How about 400 posts and 4 months. 100 posts a month. This sounds good to me.

BTW, Nathan check your Private Messages.

[EDIT] Better yet, how about I get a pic just for being here for a long ass time without spamming. :D :D :D

Actually you should have a posting rate meter, which tells you if your nearing the spam part of your meter!

Post by: Deadly Hamster on February 15, 2001, 03:53:56 PM
yeah a spam meter at the bottom of all your posts that would be cool

I agree......



Uh oh, I\'m a spammer.



Actually I mentioned time should be a factor in getting a pic many months ago when the likes of unknown got a pic in less than a month.  It\'s too bad the software wasn\'t good enough to weed out the posts that say nothing.  Or the ones where the thread says,

Need help in ATV fury. Then the dude asks the question in the thread.  That\'s fine, but there is always someone who chimes in and says, "I wish I could help, but I haven\'t played ATV yet."  Well, why the F are you replying then you spood...  Heh....

I don\'t think I would change anything right now though.  It seems the board is running better than ever.

i think it should be up to the mods, if you are consistantly a good poster and the mods or admins think you deserve one, then you can get one, ou should have to earn it, so it becomes an honor, not just a formality
Title: there would be less spaming if..............
Post by: Sublimesjg on February 18, 2001, 12:09:05 AM
yea i like the whole idea of earing the post

but that would also lead to a lot of butt kissing

yes if that happened then the mods would have more power over us than they could imagine - they could make us do things to get our pic - on second thought i disagree

i think everything is fine right now and we should worry about nothing and be happy

come on get happy

Don\'t worry, the mods and admins will handle any spamming.

I don\'t really mind spamming all that much, as long as you don\'t do it all the time or to get your pic, if you spam only once in a while it shouldn\'t be considered that big off a deal.

Post by: QuDDus on March 17, 2001, 05:02:30 AM
I think a post requirement is better than time because I may spend a lot of time here but I don\'t post 100 post a month. And I don\'t spam. Don\'t force all newbies just because a couple spam. If there is a spam problem on the board I think the mods and admins should deal with those individuals. And not bring down all rules on all new members. I guess 5 months won\'t matter because I just don\'t see myself posting 100 post a month anyway. I probally won\'t make 500 til june so guess do whatever is best for the board.
