Ok. Here is an idea I have. It could either really help us, or really hurt us, but it is still worth putting out there.
So basically, we would divide up our normal users into 2 power levels. The two power levels are: -New Members. Basically, they would be able to post, comment on profiles, and send PM's, and do all the normal stuff normal users can do, except make new threads. Often, new threads by new members are just for asking stupid questions or are spam. We do get exceptions, but this system will eliminate almost ALL spambots as an added bonus. They can ask to post a thread to get permission, and if they have proved themselves, will be promoted to the next stage of normal users. -Normal Members. Everything a normal member can do now. But normal members can be demoted to New Members if they post derp threads, or threads that are purely Postcount+++. So being demoted to a New Member could be an alternative to getting banned. Many users make threads asking a stupid question, and it often gets closed/trashed. With this new system, we could potentially clean up our thread quality and only let the good users post threads. So, what do you think? This is just an idea. And we are NOT trying to discriminate. If a new user has a good thread to post, they can talk to an admin and get the perms to post a thread. ____________________

...the fuck?
I really don't like this idea, tbh. Because it sounds too complicated for the regular system. It's mostly common sense to not make a stupid thread, and so the user would be banned. So, IMO, this is kinda useless. ____________________ a |

I see what you are thinking, but the thing is, many users post derp threads because they don't know any better. And we DON'T want derp threads. So this is the best way to fix it.
When you ban one derp user, two more will take its place. ____________________

And then ban the derps.
Simple. <MrRean> Just ban idiots for not using common sense... ____________________ a |

MrRean when was the last time you saw a new user register and make the best thread ever? No.
Usually the best threads are from longtime members. I made a somewhat derp thread as my first post when I joined, so I know what its like ____________________

I'm not liking this idea. I agree we do get derp threads, but we simply need those to be deleted efficiently so we don't have huge piles of them. But for every 20 derp threads we get, we also get a thread by a new member who has a really good idea or can help us a lot, and I don't think that's worth giving up. ____________________ |AgentSplaturn| if someone uses an external hard disk to store porn on |AgentSplaturn| is it their sex drive?

Why would you make a whole new "system" just for something that uses common sense? It's really simple to know to not make stupid threads...

MrRean do you really need to bring that here? You are just gonna cause a shitfest, so just stop.
And if you are gonna post that quote, at least post the whole damn thing. You are taking a tiny part of a large list of quotes to show that I look bad. EDIT: I see that you have posted the whole thing. But my point still stands. I was not looking for power. If I was, I would have asked MM for admin right now. I'm just saying I could be up to the task of making this new system work. But Blarg. ____________________

Two words.
Too complicated. Sorry. A stickied thread that shows what not to do (with handy colors and capitals) would be helpful. For the perhaps smaller percentage of new members that actually read the site. Oh well. Anyway, MM wouldn't approve this. Also, no need to shit over this. Argue on the IRC. Less messy that way. ____________________ Burrow Base design- Text complete.

This seems rather unnecessary...just delete the irrelevant/dumb threads, simple as that. No need for a brand new system. |

We'll have to see. I actually think MM might just like this idea, as he hates it when noobs post a stupid thread as much as I do. ____________________

I think this idea could be executed better rather than not letting new users post threads but yeah there's been to many derp threads lately and usually it takes awhile for a mod to see it (because it usually happens when all of the mods are asleep) |

Or maybe, we could evolve the idea into a thread approval idea. Where the thread isn't public until a mod sees it or something. ____________________

Umm, yeah..maybe? It still seems a little brutal and disheartening to new users, i'm not sure for the most part. |

But still, wouldn't it be helpful to not have to take care of tons of users individually when you could just not worry about it at all? ____________________

It's just putting a lot more pressure on the mods, though. With constant annoying pm's asking for threads to be opened. (Plus, they have to be through a revision system and everything..)
It's a bit too complicated. ____________________ a |
