Forum Request

[n3kk1d-l337]

I see that we have many guests that often visit the forums. And I was wondering if, as a way to make them register, if we could have to have them registered to few the hacks and bots forums and give them a small probation like 1 week where they need to make x number of posts. Just a thought...

There is already a thread about this, we don't want inactive users, because almost every person that registers just to view or download, won't be active

But the x amout of posts maybe a month not a week for deleting account might help, just give mods more chores though

[n3kk1d-l337]

Nonono I mean they need to make x posts within a 1 week probation before being able to download hacks/bots from the forum and reading them as well.

[Warslut]

Oh, like Cerb did haha, that would work only problem is that the downloads are on D2Sector, not forums.

[n3kk1d-l337]

That is true, however there are certain downloads that are attained only through the forums.

[Warslut]

Well could be a good idea. Have to wait until a mod or two see this, might be a nifty idea.

But I really don't think it will help make them more active, if anything might just make people spam more to get the # of posts

[n3kk1d-l337]

Yeah but if they spam, they will be banned.

[Warslut]

Still would bring a lot of spam, I'm sure a lot of people download stuff for singleplayer and can't get on net long enough to chat, I think it would keep the mods busy I'm sure there would be a lot of spamming heh...

[n3kk1d-l337]

Yeah I know. Like the saying goes: For every choice, there is a consequence.

[Warslut]

Exactly, good idea but people will take advantage of it as usual, and I don't think the modss need to be banning people damn near 24/7 just because they want to download something.

When Cerb did it he got a lot of spamming...

Hell I even spammed just to download the damn Meph bot

Yes I can indeed make it so that you have to register to view the forums, but then Google cant spider the forums, hence a loss of hits via google.
