Should the steam room be public or private?

**Siris** · 02-23-2009, 12:21 PM

I vote private because, for new members or guests that would like to become members, it might be a turn off. See also the thread I made.

1. Private
2. Public

Any time Siris :)

And I agree with you completely. Should be Private

**Skye** · 02-23-2009, 02:01 PM

Private, definately. Makes the forum look a lot more welcoming and inviting.

**wazzacky** · 02-23-2009, 02:29 PM

no doubt private.

**Pamela** · 02-23-2009, 03:08 PM

After thought I went with private...what do really new people have to start fights about?

**Skye** · 02-23-2009, 03:53 PM

^ very true.

Once they come into our circle, we can insult and friendly bash them :)

**Pamela** · 02-23-2009, 04:26 PM

Also ..if you think about it...you have to WORK for the privilage (sp?)of insulting someone!!!!
Then be prepared for the methodical tear down we shall reap upon you...

its not like new people even post in the steam room anyways.
all of these new members, i think that they just join for the downloads, even though you dont have to.

if it were set to private, how many posts would you have to have?

**Siris** · 02-23-2009, 05:45 PM

I think you have to be an ancient I think???

I think it pretty much settles it though. Private just makes more sense.

Oh and thx Ares.

**The Mob** · 02-23-2009, 06:55 PM

i think that would be too much.

separate the post requirement for steam from leet.
im thinking maybe more along the lines of 100

**Siris** · 02-23-2009, 08:10 PM

Naw, I think it should be the same.

If you make it too low there wouldn't be a point to do it in the first place.

**Fuggle** · 02-24-2009, 01:39 AM

1000 posts to see the steam room? Are you insane? I hope you understand how hard it is to get 1000 posts these days especially without one of the most popular forums ruled out. 100 posts max. I personally think it should be public. Besides some of the more common members like Skye and Wazzacky wouldn't even meet the requirements lol.

**jedimaster86** · 02-24-2009, 01:44 AM

My vote goes to public, on the grounds of free speech. With the exception of the 1337 forums (and the downloads), I don't really like hiding things from members.

Not everyone needs to have their hands held on the Interwebs these days as sparkly rainbows and Cabbage Patch kids rain from the skies. A Flame Wars forum is a natural aspect of (most) forums...sometimes it's the only activity around here, and I don't want to keep new members from being able to voice their opinions there.

If it does end up needing some kind of post requirement, no more than 100.

**The Mob** · 02-24-2009, 05:09 AM

haha, ya, skye and wazzacky not to mention xerdgre would all be excluded.

i completely agree with jedi, keep it open.
even 100 is kind of high.. (everything is dead)

**Skye** · 02-24-2009, 07:27 AM

Good point Fuggs o.O

I don't think there should even be a post requirement. Of, if there was to be one, make it 15, like the links rule.

**Z3R0** · 02-24-2009, 08:14 AM

I also think you should be able to freely flame in the Steam Room.

**Zerobanshee** · 02-24-2009, 08:17 AM

I hope it wouldn't be 1000. It took forever for me to get to almost 500, rofl. I enjoy being in the Steam Room, its massive amounts of fun.
If there is a requirement, I would either say 15, or 100 max.
