    Re: Hey Chit Chat

    We've had the idea for requiring just one post in the newbie forum for all new members but shot it down for some reason.

    I'll get back to you on that one.

      I suggested the one-post rule for posting links to avoid spamvertizing. It wasn't so much shot down as it was ignored.

      When I read that idea my heart cringed with horror. The Newbie forum would just become a spamfest. And since the mods don't want to spend all their time in each new thread telling each newbie about how to post or not post here, the new people wouldn't get the idea and would begin to think it's fine. We then have a feedback loop that would undoubtedly spill over into the rest of the forum.

        Re: Hey Chit Chat

        Then move the newbie forum up to the top of the list so that people will at least SEE it. Chit chat is taken way too literally. It is obvious that this may be the first forum that people have ever been to, so they take it literally as a chat room and spam topics of 'HAY GUYZ." Change the "newbie forum" name to something less condescending because the term "noob" usually has a negative connotation, which causes people to avoid it. Just an idea to lower the amount of stupidity in the rest of the forums.

            No there doesn't. Some people, like me, have/had to make a LOT of bad posts before becoming a good poster. Some people would probably never become good posters, and that's a lot of people per day to try to keep out, and I don't see a good solution to it.

              You consider yourself a good poster?

              We just have to weed out the stupid. Or figure out a way to educate these people about our forums. With force if necessiary.

                  Because then we'd totally have like 100 people on the forums total, IF that. Haha. Well, at least we all agree that SOMETHING has to be done about it. I wouldn't consider myself a great poster, but I do contribute a little bit to topics. Way better then most of the people you see posting recently.

                    Also make the newbie forum the top board on the list and put that rule in with the general rules sticky. Alternatively you could require one post in the general rules sticky to acknowledge that you've read it.

                    Should make it a lot harder for people to go on a stupid spree in CC and when they do it's a lot harder for them to fake ignorance. Also it keeps the forum accessible.

                          This probably isn't the best idea, but maybe something on the lines of this:

                          They have to play so many FFR games before posting in the forums. In the games is where newer players can interact and meet others from the site and get a feel for the game before posting anything. Maybe it will cut out some of the newbie posts as well.

                          like i said, it's not the best idea, but it's better than nothing.
                          many people have cool signatures, but I'm not really sure what to write here.

                            I agree with the idea of having the Newbie Forum at the top. It's kind of burried where it is now.

                            But as long as the forum and website remains free, it will always attract riff raff. There really isn't much that can be done about that unless Synth actually started charging for memberships.

                              But the site has experienced a decrease in overall user quality in the past few months.

                              Despite being free for many years prior.

                                I liked my plan to direct Aeon to odi; Maybe you should link to it at the top of the forum so new users click that instead of chit chat. odi would get lots of good posters to ban, and the ffr forums would get more intelligent users.
