Lefty has had it! - Lefty laying the smackdown

[SBYRD5]

I guess the community is getting over crowded I suppose such tactics are needed now,but perhaps if we could just get all the n e w b i e s in the same area,and have a very strict talk with them things could change...maybe.

Like a rule of this kind=

You may only make one topic each week at maxium.

Any different subjects that you find interesting should be PM'ed in that active week.

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

That could even be understood by a new person.

I think the reason ##### are so annoying is because there ignorance of the area around them often gives them the influence to act a fool.

You must understand.The goal of an ingorant new person is to fit in,and to become superior in the same day.Even though you know there goal welcome that person heartily,and with respect that would reduce the number of Flaming hits per week.

Also, advice that person not to make topics their first weeks in this community.Instead, instruct them to read the topics first,and to give the best senseable reply to there ability.Tell them to edit incorrect spelling,and grammar in posting tell the day they have it at a perfection.

Also if your will to help a noob starts to fade advice that person to another vet.This system could be the solution to this noob problem.The program will be called "Vet Appretiance Training"=V.A.T.

Actually ignore my post I just remebered that I'm a noob. ???

[quoteost_uid0="Nantuko Joe"]Vegetam and Yankees, it's not all about the power. You can't simply be a ruthless dictator with mod powers, no sir-ee. You still have to be your good-old self, but with a little more responsibility. For example, you can't just go around banning ppl and deleting topics that you don't like. I already had a talk with Lefty on AIM yesterday, and he told me how he wants the forum to be, and I can now understand his reasoning.

You see, the stupid new-bies that post here are the majority of the ppl that play the game. The list of active vets on this forum is growing very thin. Therefore, if we ban the stupid new-bies like Juggernaut and stjames and ajtimbs that piss us off, they're not going to come back. Now, I know that may be a good thing, but if we do that to all the stupid new-bies, the forum will be pretty much barren except for the 20-30 ppl that post here regularly and without spam. We'll lose much of our fan following.

Lefty said that he's in the forums every day, moderating and such, deleting/locking topics as he sees fit. I offered him some suggestions and opinions, and he said he'll think on them. However, the reason none of us (even the vets) have mod powers is because TMy doesn't trust any of us with mod powers, he openly said that. And if we can simply ignore these new-bies and their topics rather than flame them incessantly (I know, it will be hard for me to do too), then we can show TMy that we're more responsible than he thought, and may think again about giving someone else mod powers. And if you can't keep your mouth shut and ignore them, then don't FLAME them, try and use reason (like I'm trying to do with ajtimbs). TRY (and this is a big TRY) to reason with them.

It's going to be tough on all you guys as well as me, but what needs to be done, needs to be done[/quote]
uhh.. it was a joke dude

[Panda_Man]

lefty i may be cought doin this... if i am plz gimme and others a warning before banning them... :buttrock: :buttrock: :buttrock: :buttrock: :buttrock:


i donnu why i put so many rockin dudes

[PARADISE-X]

Well,I dont know what to say...good job on making the forum safer for the members ???

[Gotenks13]

Here's an idea.

Some people join forums, and don't read the rules. Maybe there's a way to make the first (and I mean first) topic they open is the rules. Other than that:

Offense 1: Tell them to read or re-read the rules. Maybe they missed something... ???

Offense 2: Give them a warning. A sturn warning.

Offense 3: Ban them for 2-4 weeks (depending on what they did.)

Offense 4: IP ban. Ban forever!!! :buttrock:

[Additude_Chick]

TMyApp banning is not nice u knoe u can make ppl cry and go depressed and then they'll become gay and it's ur fault

[sk8erfox805]

how bout the ppl that have a start under their name cant make any topics in the all forum??

[Nantuko Joe]

uhh.. it was a joke dude

What was a joke?

TMy, Lefty, I have a set of rules on Mallarky.net that sounds very reasonable and could definately be used here, if you mods allowed it. If you want me to post them, just say so or IM me

And here are the only reasons I can see to explain nOObish behavior:
1.) They're too young to be playing the game/posting in this type of environment, and we consider them ignorant
Examples: stjames, ajtimbs

2.) They want to be considered part of this forum socially, but think that to do so, they need to be Advanced Members, and therefore increase their post count the wrong way: by spamming.
Examples: Juggernaut, Bunmi

3.) They're actually assholes in real life, and for some reason think they're better than everyone else on the forum
Examples: Most of the rest of the nOOb population

[skate919]

[quoteost_uid0="Nantuko Joe"]I'm ALWAYS on the board. If you give me admin status EVEN JUST IN THE GENERAL SECTION, I can prolly get rid of 40% of all the topics in there, mostly created by dumb #####[/quote]
Yeah. Go Joe!
