bloodpack: you never understood exactly what i was saying right ?

first: the archive is already there ! no TOPIC as been deleted from the very beginning of XMvsSF ONLINE. the only TOPIC that got deleted where the ones that enterely made of flames or that had nothing to do with any of the sections at all.

second: you say it will reduce SPAMMING by FORCING people to LOOK at the MESSAGE BOX that says to LOOK to the ARCHIVES. in a way your forcing them to do a thing they don't want to !

third: it is not the fact it is FORCING that made this idea a BAD one ! it's the fact no one will ever say YES SHOW ME THE ARCHIVE. they will always say no and POST their POST anyway ! meaning TMYAPP or anyone controlling this forum had WORKED for no apparent reason !

that was my point !
and yes, they yelled at us, but it's their job and if they don't like it then can still stop doing it ! no one is forcing them to !

i consider a MOD as a POLICE OFFICER. have you ever seen any POLICE OFFICER yelling at the guys because they gived them to much job ? no, because it's their job to keep peace in the city, they cannot be everywhere at the same time, but they made the difference. same goes on with the mods, they have a job to keep the PEACE in here, they yelled at us for SPAMMING ? only ##### do because they don't know what this thing is when they join ! so why yelling at ALL of us ?

again, if they don't like their job, no one is forcing them to keep it !

ok, i think i get ur point :)

anyways, the final decision still lies on the hands of the mods themselves, im just suggesting :)

What an interesting/unique idea...

Almost reminds me of myself. Always trying to organize everything to perfection... *tear* :biggrin:

Yeah, well I'm sure if anyone hosting a fansite (like myself) want's to pick up on this idea it might be a good idea...

We'd just have to move them all to another forum section labled "archive" (created by some admin), and have one/couple mods move some topics that are worthy of being in there.

Seem's like a good idea.. what about the rest of you mods/admins?
