Off-Topic Key Only? Vote Here!

[Jay the Cartoonist]

Well folks, here we have it.  After many years spent in this community I've come to the conclusion that most people are useless.   How about we try to filter out all the useless trolls, jerks and fad lovers and make this forum once again relevant and a somewhat nice place to be. 

I see so many useless jerks here on these forums today who have never done one good thing to benefit this community, or even seen in game.  A classic example would be people like ßoltster.  I don't want to sit here and start a fight with ßoltster (like I know he will try to do if he reads this) and I'm aware that he has a key, but hes just one of these examples.  I've never once seen him do anything good or useful, hes constantly arguing and insulting as many people as he can.  We need more people like.. lets say Kalphiter.  Yeah, Kalphiter.  Not everyones too fond of Kalphiter, but look at him!  Hes a relatively active member in game, hes constantly doing useful things for the community, and I rarely see him blow up on someone just for the sake of being a douche bag. 

We need less ßoltsters and more Kalphiters.  If we replaced every off topic dwelling useless jerk with a mod making, server hosting nice kid... Then this community would easily be amazing.


So here's the plan, maybe, just maybe if we get enough votes on this, a moderator will see it and make Off Topic a key-only place to be.  I know it won't completely fix the problem with jerks in he community, there's obviously a lot of useless jerks who own keys as well..  but I think it will be a step in the right direction to clean this place up.

You may be thinking, why must we make off topic Key-Only?  It's off topic, why must we talk about Blockland?  You have a wonderful point, but I'd love to see you prove why we need all these random people who do the community no good floating around in our airspace.  There is no reason to have users from /b/, My Little Pony fanclubs, Anime fan clubs or WHATEVER.  This is the Blockland forums, why would we want anyone but Blockland key owners?  There is no reason that we should have people signing up for these forums just to talk in the My Little Pony thread, that is ridiculous.  That's just one more member we don't need whos supplying fuel to a fad that is currently causing a crapton of Drama, along with any other fad that may sprout and bring more useless members.
SO: TL;DR:  Make Off Topic key only because we don't need all the extra members not helping anyone out.  It just clutters up the community and makes it a less enjoyable place to be.


**THIS IS NOT A DRAMA THREAD ON ßOLSTER, THIS IS NOT A DRAMA THREAD ON MY LITTLE PONY, THIS IS NOT A DRAMA THREAD ABOUT ANYONE OR ANYTHING, THIS IS A VOTE TO GET OFF-TOPIC SECTIONS TO BE KEY-ONLY

[Trymos]

Edit: Nevermind, you added it.
Yes.

[Funnelcakes]

I'd say yes and no, people are going to end up spamming the help board.

[Muzzles56]

So, basically, you want this to be a forum where you have to pay to post?
This is a terrible idea

[Illidan]

I have a key, but I only really chill in the Off-Topic forum. I hardly play the game, but I love the community.

[alex dude]

As much as I'd like to say yes, the help board would probably be spammed like Funnelcakes said. :(

[ßoltster]

forget yes, honorable mentions to me.

And this is a terrible idea and won't happen, but it's cute to see you try.

[deadpossom]

Yes.
Anything Blockland related except for Help need a key-only rule.

EDIT: Oh right. Help might be spammed. So I'm not so sure.

EDIT 2: Nevermind.

[Jay the Cartoonist]

I'd say yes and no, people are going to end up spamming the help board.

Lol  "HELP  I CANT POST IN OFF TOPIC"
Obviously those users would be banned.

So, basically, you want this to be a forum where you have to pay to post?
This is a terrible idea

You already need a key to post in all sections except for Off Topics and Help... How is filtering out all the useless people who sign up for the sole purpose of posting in off topic a terrible idea? '

You're not paying to post, you just have to own a Blockland Key to post.

forget yes, honorable mentions to me.

And this is a terrible idea and won't happen, but it's cute to see you try.

I know it won't but there's no use in not trying, its still a problem.

Unless I get banned for "Moronic doomsday prophesizing" again...

[Tingalz]

I don't get why general discussion, suggestions, and gallery aren't open to people without a key. In my opinion, those are probably the only boards that should be open.
And you'd also get a free game with full forum admission.

[Dissolve]

I agree with your post, however I wish to throw this out there as well.

By allowing Off topic to be open, it allows people to interact with the community, get to know people,  maybe there will be a few people that buy keys because they find a few forum friends.

[Trymos]

You're not paying to post, you just have to own a Blockland Key to post.

It's still paying for most of it.
Help section should stay unlocked because some people have demo and have problems with the game.

I want some way to voteban or something so we can get Boltster the forget out. He's just not a pleasant person. I can tolerate my disliking for Ike but Bolt is just a bad loving person.

If that actually happened I would agree with you and totally accept off topic being no key.  But that doesn't happen, we just get people who sign up for My Little Pony thread.
