Please tell me if I'm wrong but I have the impression that there are lots of people in this forum posting useless crap just to get 15 posts for the master zone. That starts to suck especially if there is one member making several posts in only 1 hour or something.
Maybe there is a solution for that.

1. What about removing the rule to have 15 posts to get access to the master zone?
2. Or a 5 minute barrier until you can do your next post for people under 15 posts?
3. Somebody who cleans up the forum?

Please post your ideas to make the forum more informative and clear.

thx


(this theme is discussed very often so please tell me if I go on your nerves)

about the 15 posts the admin take a look of the contain of the 15 posts. if are all thanks post the one cant acces the zone .

for the 5min i dont think it is a solution . the can wait this duration for spamming.
some members are very negligeables and dont read the rules. ..

if anyone have other ideas . are Welcome..

nice thread . no problem to post thanks posts . but posting excessive thanks post for accessing Mastar Zone that is a shame ..

yea.. i realise that too...
thats a good ideal 'Mac Fly' in order to prevent spamming..
these pple only wanna get free & good stuffs in the master zone..and we should do something abt this!

I agree MacFly that peoples posts should be checked before they qualify themselves to become a Master. I finally was able to access the Master zone yesterday after mailing Chaotix but there is not the tons of stuff there that people think there is!

As for cleaning up the forum, I think maybe only Super Mods can delete messages as I was not able to when I have tried.

I always send a pvt message to users spamming telling them they will be banned if they continue and they usually get the message and stop but its always the newbies that think its ok to spam.

Why is it not possible for normal mods to delete posts? That would be a start.


I do the same every time but some people just don't get it.

Yea that would be handy or if people are banned then their junk posts should be sweeped up too although this would obvioulsy take someone with some time on their hands!

If users dont heed your warnings then pvt Mobiframe or Chaotix and explain to them and see if they will sort them out!

Muy bueno. Sigueasí

mmmhh, what?
Don't speak with a full mouth!


Maybe he is a good example for a spammer. Look at his posts...




I would give mods the right to move/erase posts. If it does not work you can take the rights away again. Doesn't this sound good?

There is another solution I "stole" in another forum

--------------------------------

Today a new feature arrives on this forum...

The ' thank topic ' button ..

This is now to be used to show gratitude to the poster of any/all topic(s) on the forum.

Under no circumstances are members to post merely thanks as a post anymore or topic authors to request it , there is now no excuse for this !

Flooding of the board with posts containing just 'thanks' 'thankz' and 'thank you' posts is now a 0% tolerance situation and members will be BANNED for failing to comply to this .

** Members using automated response messages warning of a ban by posting thanks will now be deemed rule violators and be BANNED **

If you want to say just thanks use the button Smile. use the new feature as its here for your benefit to make a cleaner forum ...
