My idea,

The general discussion/Request/Clan forums should block people with a BLID that is under 1000 ids old from creating new topics but allow them to reply to existing ones. This will help prevent topics like "Hi, I'm new" and will allow them to get used to the forms. 

The help forums should be completely unblocked even if you don't own the game.

The ENTIRE addons section should block people with a BLID that is under 1000 ids old from creating new topics but allow them to reply to existing ones. This will help to slow down the crappy addons made by new people and prevent people from requesting addons here before they realize that there is a section for that. 

The BMF section should be unblocked to anyone that owns the game so that new people can learn how to make addons.

The off topic section should block people with a BLID that is under 1000 ids old from creating new topics but allow them to reply to existing ones.

I don't know. I'm waiting for someone with at least a +110 IQ to post their plan for an exclusive forums.
My IQ is 134 but i have nothing helpful to say, so I won't :3

Players would enter their ID(s) into their profile. People without an ID could only post a limited amount of posts.

There isn't anything wrong with the "Hi, I'm new" topics. Also, ID discrimination isn't looked kindly upon here.

That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. You do realize you'd be alienating more than half the BL community.

Half?  Where do you get that number?

The ID limit was just an idea it could just be something like 10 days instead.

I want Badspot's opinion.

Well somebody's idea is gonna be implemented soon.

I don't think you understand what he said. He meant anyone that has an id within 1000 of the current highest id.

Yes, I did mean that (what you just said).  Thank you for reading my post in depth.

You know the RTB system where you have to authenticate your key to register? That.

I'm sorry, I don't think I understand; was Badspot's choice of moving this topic to the Suggestions & Requests category his opinion?



Ok, lemme bring this idea back to life. People troll the forums; about 7/8 of those people are not Blockland players. We can block that by planting a system that requires you to authenticate your key for registration. This way, if somebody trolls (Ex. noob posts kitty getting head smashed in), we know exactly who it is (I doubt this will happen because its impossible to disguise it).

There will be a lot less alternate accounts (inb4Spindle=Ironic/Hypocrite), because your profile will display your ID. This is will basically be RTB, just with x20 more forum activity.

I think my idea would work better because you don't want the entire forum restricted.


But inputing you key instead of your ID is a good idea.

I never tested my IQ. :S
