We are already planning a strict moderation, so please don't panic.

btw. your right, in the last weeks I got not much time (because of the xmas stress).

well i have a suggestion, Im no forum *** or anything, nor do I know much about phpbb or whatever, but i've seen it on many sites that you have to post 3 posts before you can create a topic.
Just a suggestion

(please noone flame me for it)

Screening process anyone? I know those forums where you "apply" to lvl 2.

As in for this forum, all lvl 2's are bumped to 3, 3 to 4, etc. Lvl 1 can post questions in Main and guides...exploits are in lvl 2...you can request to be moved up once every week (maybe 2?), and you must have x amount of posts, be active x amount of days etc...and you have someone dedicated to looking at what they've done to accept or deny them..

This doesn't even have to revolve around contribution, more on...how stupid are they, or are they helpful?

i do hope you mean that the requests will go to a cpu and it will get figured out there, cause i highly doubt any mods will want to sort thru a pile of requests. Anyways, i dont think spam will result in a permanent ban, a day or two maybe? But if it gets ridiculous then its up to mods. I do agree with angel on the "make posts before starting a thread" noobs that do this just waste space etc etc, so i would say maybe 5-10 posts? And HiddenLife, thanks for coming out of the closet

next step is done, I've seperated the exploits/hacks/tools and the bots/macros.

next challenges:
fixing the negative karmas for the mods
adding another moderator
creating a warning concept for the co2 section (I think about 3 negative karmas will result in a ban, negative karmas can be given for e.g. posting already answered questions, postng questions in the no-question forums (this is strict moderation).

Nice idea, although strict moderation is needed. Spamming once shouldn't result in a ban. Karma can be used as a warning system and 3 strikes your out. I like this idea

one question..
if you cant make a topic how are you going to get karma in the first place

[blueshad0vv]

lol it was just a quick thought that came to my mind,

was wondering how many pros and cons that idea would have,

seems like more cons than pros lol

[Fosho]

How about spam = warning
3 warnings = 1 negative karma

Or does that take too long?

[anhang]

Thats not bad, except who would keep track of the warnings? I don't think the forum can do that, but i would love to be proved wrong.

Strict moderation and the negative karmas is a VERY good idea, but some quick question thou-

Do we keep the karmas we have?
Can we get positive karmas?
What's going to keep them from making another account?
What do we do if people don't post, therefore getting no negative karmas but still leach?

[Xiphu]

no-question forums (this is strict moderation).
