PLEASE Diablo, Help us!

[Mb]

For God's sake! All those retards just signing up on the forums to make a kazillion request threads! Can't you do something that people can only open a topic when having more then 100 posts or something? This is just rediculous and damn annoying! It actually pisses me off that people don't just read.

I'm not the only one thinking about it like this, so HELP! :D:thumbsup:

 

( +1 if you agree! :D )

[CarboyZR1]

+1 because I agree!

[CarMadMike]

+1, I Dont Think calling them retards is the right way to go about it though Mb, 100 posts is pretty steep, 50 posts maybe

They'll just go and post somewhere else ... if one section is "limited"

[ScaR]

maybe a more realistic amount of posts, say 15 or 20 WHICH CONTRIBUTE to discussion before allowing them to actually start their own topics maybe? except the forum related to site issues of course.

[Mb]

No you limit them on the whole forum. Atleast 50 of 75 posts before you have the ability of opening a new topic.

[The Queen]

+1 for this idea. Iced can no longer protect them :D

[Iced_Bullet]

Iced can no longer protect them :D

You're seriously not continuing that one are you?! Re-read what I said and you'll realise it wasn't just because they were new.

 

Also, we have a floor in this plan, we have quite a few members opening threads because they cant find a various part of the island, or their TDU has broken. Therefore by limiting, they will be annoyed that it wont be a quick fix for them.

 

But then again they could just post into a thread for new members who want TDU fixes ... like a troubleshooting section / thread Diablo mentioned a while ago ...

[The Queen]

Quick on the mark today I see.

 

Well it seemed like it to me but I won't continue that idea and i'll let it go.

 

But why do people find it so hard to use the search function? I still don't get it. :rolleyes:

[Iced_Bullet]

When I first signed up to the EU TDU forum (my first forum I'd been on properly), I found it easier to make a new thread rather than search because it doesn't always work ... a) You don't know what words to look for b) the character limit is a pain!

[The Queen]

You have a point. Maybe the search function could be improved somehow?

 

It may stop people from making pointless threads which are either un-necessary or have to be moved or deleted.

[Mb]

When they sign in, let them get into a introduction topic or something with links to the right section/topic or something.

[MCW]

This thread is good, random people making stupid threads is bad...

[Guest RB26DETT]

+1 i am annoyed with every greedy request.

[Eudemon]

I'm working on adding something to the Mod Shop in order to add some sort of structure and organisation to the go with the new modelling capabilities that are available now to TDU.

[560BHP]

+1 i agree on this one (i know i made a few to, sorry)

 

JUHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU MY 500th POST!!

edit: damm diablo he posted before i could ;)

[iBilo]

+1!!!!!!!!

[Guest RB26DETT]

hmmm. if you enforce that rule of having x number of posts before making a thread, then new members can't make intro threads anymore. unless there's a way to allow creating threads in the intro section only.

[560BHP]

that would be :( for new joiners if they have to make 20 posts in welcome tread before they can post in anything else, they should have acces to a few more forums, all im saying

[iBilo]

Spell Thread Fgs!!!

[CarMadMike]

Why dont you just put it so you must have X number of posts to be able to enter the "Mod" request forum in the first place?, that means you dont have to worry about what iced said in his last post

 

Seriously, Limited New Members to only a few forums will not work, it will in the end stop people from joining.

Then people, as they are, will post requests in other parts - TDU:PC, Exterior Mods, Sound Mods etc. Then, if the whole Mod Section is "limited", then people will post in the TDU:PC section, if that is blocked then people wont be able to post for help. :cry:

 

:ill: :cry: Ahhhh my brain !!!!

 

Good job it's not really my decision as I wouldn't know what to do! :twisted:

Your a moderator of the Mod section Iced, If they Post where they arent meant to then Delete the Topic, but, if they are posting in the Mod request Forum then you can see why they are getting confused when the threads are getting Deleted

 

Another thing you could do is put a notice at the top of the forum saying Please do not make a request until you have 25 posts, that works.

 

You will probably never be able to fully stop people making a request in the wrong forum, but you can always put more help out to make them request in the right forum...

Right, just incase you're confussed there's no request "forum" as such. There's a request "thread" which is where I have been moving people's threads to ... I will continue to do it. However I cannot mov the one which is outside the "Mod Shop" (Within TDU:PC) because my powers don't streach that far. I also can't put notices up, that can only be done by a full moderator. So at the moment, all I can do is ask people to post in the request thread and merge the threads.

[CarMadMike]

Why Not Create a Request Forum then?, there seems to be a demand for it..

 

Plus, Like Diablo has done with the Graphics/photography forum, you could put Topic Attributes

 

Eg : Waiting, In Progress, Finished etc
