View Full Version : My solution to "fix" ri - Comments are welcome

Well, my main focus for this will be RI, but I do plan on practicing this in the other boards too.
Here is what I will do. No, I'm not going to lay down a ton of rules with the threat of being banned. Feel free to continue to do whatever you want, because as some people have shown, they will anyway. but as my part, I'm going to do something about it.
My part:
-Yes, it's RI, but if I see a topic in here, and it just gets coverd in Spam or Flames, thats a little too much. Thats not the point of RI. It's for random posting, not that. So if I see a topic go off topic, I will promptly just delete the post. Not the whole thread, just the post. If I see flames for no reason, I will delete those posts as well. I plan to keep the topics clean. That way, in RI, you can still post whatever the hell you want to, but whatever it is will stay on-topic. Want to change the topic? Make a new freakin' thread. Easy. Done. I will be taking names though...if I notice someone who constantly Spams (I.E. starts several threads to go off topic) or likes to flame, I willl give a warning with no explanation. So if you receive one of those, you'll know why. Just a reminder to please stop. :)
Your part:
-Tell me about it. Please. I know that the ones who care about this place want it back in a better condition. So, you all who read the most topics here more often, please fill me in if you see anything wrong. I know who to trust, and either way I will check out the post myself. If I do something, great, if I don't, don't send me more PM's asking why, I didn't feel like you were right. This way I can cover most topics and take care of things fast.
Thank you. So what do you think?

with the spamming and flaming going so fast i dont think you will be able to do this. Im not sure people will report it either since there probably doing the spamming. but either way topics do go off topic and start talking about something else. maybe you need someone else to help you out.

I have to agree with ledmonkey, at this point I dont think R.I. can be restored to the greatness it was at before the huge downfall. but it's good to see someone is concerned enough to take an attempt to clean up the Threads here.
I take it the post count wont be added back, will it?
If post count is restored to the section again, "new members" will probably abuse it to gain member titles faster again.. :plain:

fixin RI would be a great idea..but fixing it doesnt mean they gonna put bac post count. if so..i have no suggestionss
I was juss wonderin instead of put "no post count in RI", why dont yall juss put no post count on the spammers and flamers..nah dat wont work
Howbout u bann them from comin to RI..nop not good either
Warmor i dont think deletin their post would be a good idea, becaz if youdo they would have porblms with dat..den dat would lead them to start flaming u..dont u think?

evilhadoken: Thats why I have you all to inform me :)
marve|911: As of right now, no. but if things work out you never know....:biggrin:
`Crystal Well, if members want to flame all the time, then we don't need them. They are the ones who bring this place down. So, if I'm delting posts going off topic in threads, and they start to flame, they will get warnings then a ban if need be. Just one less flamer/spammer.
rabbitalien: That "disspute", go check the thread. I didn't close it, I just cleaned out all your spam. Also, another admin did go in there and say something, he was very upset with you too, man. You've forced us to have to start moderating you now. I tried to be civil...but you wanted to bring in other Mods/Admins...now your being watched.
And no longer will I have long battles with you in a thread trying to prove my point. Myself, the other mods/admins, and all other members are right, you are wrong. I will just delete the posts and put out warnings, no more "nice" approach. Don't mistake kindness as weakness, you've made me drop the Hammer of Justice.

Whut does missing good 1 have to do with RI?

I know, thats probably why the decline of RI is upon us. Theres always been bad topics and good topics, but never so few good topics and so many bad topics.
rabbitalien

we can still fix RI if sum ppl really think hard and post and keep posting every1 sees that sum ppl r working hard to make good topics and post in there alot so theyll join in...

I must agree with the ones before me.. R.I. may never be restored.. That doesn't mean we can't try though, and in the end, who knows, maybe we can revive it. I'm sure alot of the people that care about this place appreciate your effort to help. I know I do.

All that is required is a mentor figure..
Or a user that will educate others.....in that wave of intelligence...users will want to improve...and gain some hunger.....for interesting subjects..

I could be that mentor figure?! lol nah
but R.I. was cool back when the love thread was good.......... when akumy(akuma Forever), Ludy(me), Byrdy, Blossy, Darky (Dark piccolo) and others used to post good things.......... and topics back were cool.......... no post count was a good thing to do.......... it slowed down some of the useless spam.........
a mentor? who could be that mentor? actually I think a lot of people in R.I. our mentors in their own way...........
Razzy (king of R.I.)
Assholy (for being himself)
Byrdy, Akumy, Ledmonkey, me, marve|y, saiyiny, blossy and others for still posting in it and making R.I. sense :)
why did I put a "y" at the end of each name? I don't know lol

I agree with the aforementioned suggestions made by Byrd and Luda. The forum is lacking a certain spark.
