reas11 Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 I'm not here to start a fight with any specific individual, but is it me or are there alot of useless posts showing up? I mean alot of kids posting the same post worded differently in ten different forums. Alot of posts posted for no reason .. now that there are alot of moderators it got out of hand faster then when there were two.. does anyone else see the same things i'm seeing or am i in my own little world? Its like noone cares anymore in what they post .anyone who doesn't see it i can show u about 300 examples .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toomey Banshee Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 Yup, you are absolutely right reas. Lots of meaningless posts of late. Pretty annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDD Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 I totally agree. I normally scan the posts for people looking for technical help with their Banshee's but there have been so many stupid posts about some of the same topics that are no more than 5 lines down from their post. Some people need to get the clue that there is a search function that will find the stuff your looking for. I'll give one specific post about a stupid question that can be answered oh... about anywhere on the world wide waste of time (What are TORS?). This topic was posted in the Repair and Mods section. Like I posted as a reply... do a search as there are only a ton of info about the TORS system on the web. I'll crawl back into my shop now...

bigboybanshee Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 Talk about a useless post.... http://www.bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?...pic=15291&st=60 I can probably find at least 50 more.... My posts may not be the most useful for everyone but at least I don't beat a dead horse on and on and on and on and on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txblueshee Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 I posted a newbie FAQ and it didn't go over as smoothly as I thought it would've. Anyways, There have been alot of stupid post lately (none in my forums)...but If you see a post that you don't agree w/ or it's offensive, just click the report button and a report will be sent to one of the mods in that forum. THanks, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton eyed Joe Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 Not to punish all because of the actions of a few, but here's an idea I had that might calm things down. 1) Limit the number of threads a "newbie" can start to 2-3 per day. (might help them learn to use the search function or at least think about what they are going to ask) 2) Limit the number of posts a "newbie" can make to around 5 per day. I guess you could define "newbie" as someone with 75 posts or less. I think this will let them earn the privilage of using this great forum as a source of invaluable information and, if they are a true and solid member, I wouldn't think it would bother them. If they are here to post bullshit, it will get old being restricted. This idea might be really flawed. What do you's guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boonman Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 I think it would weed out the shitty people, but it may deter some prospective valuable members. I wonder if these people that are coming in here asking BS questions are from EXRiders?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There just might be some top knotch folks wanting to be a part of the HQ that could genuinely help out...I got an idea of my own, how about if you see a particular member post x amount of worthless posts w/in a certain time period, or for that matter someone who has x amount of bad reports about them they get "banned" from posting. Just an idea... What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shee_Rookie Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 boonman, I think you may be on to something..... It seems that after some certain people starting showing up, there has been alot of new people here posting some lame stuff.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
