Idea~

[PspKicks316]

Ok. BECAUSE of the increase in double posts I've been seeing, I've got an idea. Well, this is actually Kink192's idea. I'm jsut posting it. Lol.

Well, We think that for each double post you make, you should get a warning PM. After 3 warning PMs, that said person should get, like, a 24h read-only ban. And, it get's longer/worse the more it keeps happening (Severity is figured out based on how many times, and how often, etc.).
I also think, that you should be able to double post when, and ONLY when, you're adding a crucial update to the thread. And even at that, there should be a time limit before you can post that second post. Like at least 24h.

What do you guys think? I'd post in S&I but I CAN'T still...=(

P.S. I can't post in S&I and Retro still...or R&D...

Ya seems good to me

It gets pretty annoying.

And that one guy in PSP that keeps making dumb topics with questions that we answered in his other topic. That is pissing me off...

[PspKicks316]

The whole 360 board is pissing me off too. Seriously, got a problem with me then PM me.

I like your idea (a lot in fact it would cut down a double posters). but I want to add to it too.

Lets make it so new people have to read a FAQ thread with all the questions answered (ie: how do you do the hard drive mod or where is the led trigger tut)  before they can even post, make it so they have to stay on that page for like 5 mins (so they have to read it) before they can continue to other sections. I mean a lot of people would stop if this FAQ was there.

it's either that or update the FAQ page to include this stuff so we have somewhere to point them too.

the stupid thing is people say use the search button when someone asks a question, and when they do search, they find an old topic, the old topic will either

a) Have people flaming the original poster or reporting them telling them to use the search function

b) be only partially answered, and so they reply to the topic, asking a smaller question within it, and they get flamed or reported

Sure sometimes there is spam etc, in that case the argument is justified but if newbs cant check old topics.....and they cant create new ones wtf are they supposed to do?

[PspKicks316]

Agreed. And SOMEONE PLEASE yell at Sillynuts for the DAMN QUAD POSTS!

[pax]

this should be put in place everywhere except for web art. because double posting is allowed for updates

[folklord36]

pshhh also i think a 24 hr ban would have been perfect for that unfriendly shussainu so that after making 4 silly threads about the same thing in psp board he gets a 24 hr read only bann to make him stop posting unfriendly stuff and read why he is a unfriendly in all his other threads and a good yelling at by a mod thats what ppl like him need if i were mod hed be banned for like a week

[pax]

+1, hes also called the entire acidmods community "gays" i mean what does it take for a person to get banned, or atleast temp banned.

[PspKicks316]

SillyNOnuts and CrazyGerman. I wish I was admin at this point. They'd be long gone. Seriously, who the has a right in telling ME I know NOTHING and I'm dumb because I'm 15? Wtfh.

[pax]

yh i read those posts, that was way outta line , admins should do something about that. i mean what he said in that post, he deserves to be temp banned atleast

[Tri-edge]

people should be temp. banned for not using the search button

[PspKicks316]

people should be temp. banned for not using the search button

That's a little extreme. Maybe after a few warnings of posting answered topics, if the answer is in a topic on, say, the first 2 pages or so.

Exactly! And yet people wonder why I get pissed at people.

Meh, If I had any say in this there would be a system with infractions, 3 infractions = temp banned, You get infractions for double posting, Spamming, flaming, etc. The mod of that section or global mod / admin gets to decide how many points its worth 3 points = temp ban, (Every normal infraction = 1 point). Infractions expire over a certain period of time, if the mod / admin decides its worth a perm ban then its permanent, there would be a section wich people can post disputes as a guest, if they think the infraction / ban was out of line.

[Tri-edge]

there would be a section wich people can post disputes as a guest, if they think the infraction / ban was out of line.

that's the problem, anybody who's been banned will not take it lightly and say oh you banned me it's not fair! and then they would spam the guest section

[ccccpie]

No. It would need to be approved by an admin/mod before it gets posted.

[PspKicks316]

Hopefully something like this will be put into effect. I haven't seen any admins post here...or other mods.

[ccccpie]

Well, In my opinion it's time for a whole restart with new admins / mods that are actually active.

[Casius]

Good idea, but there aint exectly a button you could press to make it happen, It only takes one click of delet and the post is gone.

[Casius]

[Jumbo]

Make a Mod for SMF that makes it so you cant double post...

[Casius]

Or vBullitin 3O seconds between posts

a admin can ban some one for 24 hours with a few clicks tho, its not that hard, and yea it wouldnt be that hard to make a button to do that anyways

[Jumbo]

Or vBullitin 3O seconds between posts

Ya but then after 30 seconds you can double post and its alot of money for vB and we would have to reset the whole site...

[Casius]

90% of vb forums aint paided for. and we will only reset a bunch of double posts

[Jumbo]

Thats means they are illegal vB forums... And we dont want that lol.

And ya after you convert to Vb every password has to be reset remake ranks teams, smilys will be gone, everything cant be baked up.

And there arent the same mods for vB, new Skin must be made

Its not worth it...
