Anish Posted 21 May 2005 Share Posted 21 May 2005 I have a suggestion re newbies starting new, pointless, threads. Can the admin ban/block anybody with less than 100 posts from starting a new thread? This way they will actually read other threads and add replies rather than simply posting a new thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they only join the forum to start their own threads then that just proves that they aren't going to read any other threads - which is why they should reach some sort of posts quota before having the ability to start threads.

For example the other day I wanted to know if anyone knew when the Celtic tickets go on sale, so I posted the question. The only thing I could think of which would take up mods/admins time is you can't start a new thread until over 100(Or whatever you have to reach) but if you want to start a new thread you have to go and ask to do so via admin/mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katy Posted 22 May 2005 Share Posted 22 May 2005 Sorry just scanned this so if its been suggested I apologise. Why not just do as Anish suggested but make the post count less - i.e 20 or something, it wouldnt take long to get to 20 and and by that time they would have got the feeling of how the forum works and would be less inclined to start shit/already in circulation threads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted 22 May 2005 Share Posted 22 May 2005 It's possible to stop newcomers starting new topics, but that's not an option because i'm sure we'll have some decent new members who maybe have viewed the forum for quite some time, then they happen to sign up one day to post a certain topic and find out they can't actually post I've set up a new member group which doesn't allow posting new topics, all these members that constantly keep making horrible topics will be moved into that group. Then if their posting improves i can move them back. Hopefully this'll work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teeno Posted 22 May 2005 Share Posted 22 May 2005 ,May 19 2005, 8:45 PM]Is Greebo even used?The only time I ever saw it ever used was in the Young Telegraph about 6-7 years ago when they had a mini report on "Townies vs Greebos". Isn't a pop or anything, just curious. I think the reason for the whole anti-chav thing is because a lot of people have had bad experiences with them, or just seen a lot of them acting like nobbers. I remember a time when I was 15 when a chav guy said me "I don't want people like you in my city" (I was in Lincoln) and flicked my ear and practically screamed when I didn't move. That was probably the funniest thing that's ever happened to be when sitting in Waterside shopping centre. He just walked off after about 10 minutes. 111820[/snapback] What do you expect in Chavside Stealing Centre I remember a few months back me and some mates got a chicken nugget thrown at us in McDonalds, so we turned around to see who it was and it was really stereotypical chav. We just ignored him but he came over to my mate and threatened to beat him up and make him eat his Mcflurry of the floor because he was looking at him....ofcourse he was you just threw a chicken nugget at us! That same day we got bombarded with stones and coins by a bunch of chavs. No I wonder I hate them. 111850[/snapback] I understand why you hate them mate, I can't stand them. It just annoys me that anyone who doesn't have long greasy hair and listen to heavy rock music is stereotyped as one. I don't think this is fair.

Good point well made Teeno, I hate people who are stereotypical, this whole thread is that in a nutshell. Im sorry Anish but i dont like your idea. Let people post what they want as long as its in the forum rules. If not get rid of it, and if it comes to it get rid of them. Im sorry people, but start moaning about something worth moaning about.
