Author Topic: Forum Area Restrictions  (Read 3195 times)

Is it possible to restrict some members from posting in certains areas?

For example, people making stupid post about absolutely nothing should get restricted to certain sections of the forums. The way i see this working is Badspot would be forced to do more monitoring or infraction system is added in, once you gain enough infraction points you cannot post in that section for a certain amount of time.

Another step could be over-all restricting new joining members from posting in areas such as Clan section. Honestly how many times has it been where some new guy joins in a day and post a stupid Clan topic that gets flamed down.

This would mean alot more new people would actually have to read the forum before just coming in and posting away.

How would this help? Well hopefully newcomers would get a better idea of the forums do and don'ts.

Personally i think if there was some form of system worked out like this it would be soooo much better.

This is just a rough of the idea but i'm sure you guys can come up with a better more polished idea.

Anyways, thoughts? comments?

Good point. For instance, the AoT people only posting in their section? And the attentionwhores in the off-topic and such?

It's not good to control people too much.

Either this, or more moderators. Eg; People from every time zone.

Moderators scare me..


Just the fact that someone besides badspot would be doing it, he does it well and isn't over happy at banning.

If there was actually moderators he'd need mature and older people.

Last I checked, there were three moderators.

Badspot
Mocheeze
Rotondo/OD Noter

Christ i've never noticed.

Yeah, Mocheeze is never really on last I checked.

Sounds good.
I support this idea.

They still have a section of the forums that only the beta testers can see.

I cant stand how every argument has Riddler and national socialists in it

This forum isn't national socialist Germany.

If you're so concerned about people doing the wrong things use the "Report to moderator" function in the bottom right hand corner of the users post and report them. Sure they aren't on 24/7 but it'll get moved/fix/banned what ever normally within 24 hours.
