    Banning All Surfers - A solution.

    After reading what AaronM posted about banning surfers I think he's right, this is "Where the industry meets" not "where surfers meet the industry"

    I think that every member on this board should get an email questionaire sent to them that they must fill out and if it is determined that they are a sufer, their account gets shitcanned until they can prove that they actually contribute something to this industry.

    Sorry but this is my and just how I feel it should be...

    I'll even add a poll...
    109
    Yes, they should do it.
    0%
    87
    No, they should not do it.
    0%

                  You would at least have to have some workings in the industry already, if you don't have a site, you're not in the industry... If you don't do some kind of trade, you're not in the industry, therefore you should probably not be on a board that is talking about "industry" related topics. Or lately lack thereof.

                      i think most people start off as a surfer before becoming a wembmaster... Some come here to learn. I got here after an argument with my wife... I decided it would be better to type gofuckyourself into my browser than to tell it to my wife. Long behold I found what I wanted to do with my life.

                          I dont think its necessary.. easier on the admins to make a sticky post where 'outted surfers', trolls, and other GFY flotsum's names are submitted.

                          The top 5-10 names are deleted.... repeat every other month as needed.

                                  what about the people that dont have sites or trades but are still in the industry. (do you consider 'affiliate manager' a trade? and do you consider post whores being a trade? what about office managers for these adult companies which are on this board with no sites/trades other than the title of office manager?)

                                  im just curious

                                      i think this is very true, everyone has to start somewhere.

                                              this could be a good idea, however it could go very wrong at the same time.

                                                      The questionaire would take forever to do.

                                                      The best thing to do is just charge something reasonable like $500/year to access the forum that would get rid of 100% of the surfers and prevent saturation also.

                                                                                                      ah fuck me , in the time i have been here as as a member and a guest , i haven't come across anything that would make me want to cough up that sort of money , sure there once in awhile there might be something that is relevant but the majority of it is just normal forum rambling words from attention seekers

I think just going through and killing the obvious sigwhores would help a great deal. The board has very little business on it these days and even when a good business thread comes up, it's usually off the front page in a matter of minutes.

                                                                                                                          Getting rid of some of that nonsense and those who clearly are not in the industry would help a great deal. It would put less clutter on the forums and less noise in each good business thread. It's not hard to pick out guys like squishypimp and just ban them. It's one thing for someone new to come, read, ask a few questions and work, it's another to post 200 times a day and call it "learning".

How about just killing the sigs on people till they prove they are in the industry? Lets face it, guys like squishypimp wouldn't be here if they didn't have a sig. This idea would also give more value to those with sigs and hopefully bring back valuable posters as their sig and views would be worth much more.

I think just going through and killing the obvious sigwhores would help a great deal. The board has very little business on it these days and even when a good business thread comes up, it's usually off the front page in a matter of minutes.

                                                                                                                                                      Getting rid of some of that nonsense and those who clearly are not in the industry would help a great deal. It would put less clutter on the forums and less noise in each good business thread. It's not hard to pick out guys like squishypimp and just ban them. It's one thing for someone new to come, read, ask a few questions and work, it's another to post 200 times a day and call it "learning".

                                                                                                                                                                  then I started in this industry June 2002 and actually in same month I registered on GFY, because I saw it linked on another forum ( somone linked a thread with thehun cars )

                                                                                                                                                                  So I registered here and decided to post while I was still making next to none money in the first 3-4 months.

                                                                                                                                                                  But my attitude was completely different than people like madawgz or squishypimp nowadays, I wasnt an attention whore and I wasnt seling my sig ( well, if someone told me I could sell it I'd probably have done it though, Im doing it today but the money from it isnt significant to me obviously )

                                                                                                                                                                  The problem is that its a total anarchy nowadays,. all the newbies who arent even in this industry start making lots of threads about themselves and voicing their opinions on other matters pretending that others should care about it. And they dont have respect to anyone...

                                                                                                                                                                          im capable of doing mostly any webmaster job except for coding...i know my way around the block

                                                                                                                                                                          have a good one!

It should be people posting because they want to post and it has some bearing on their business.

I think you should be able to put your site in your sig or the program/company you work for. Otherwise, I'd say no.

                                                                                                                                                                                      then I started in this industry June 2002 and actually in same month I registered on GFY, because I saw it linked on another forum ( somone linked a thread with thehun cars )

                                                                                                                                                                                      So I registered here and decided to post while I was still making next to none money in the first 3-4 months.

                                                                                                                                                                                      But my attitude was completely different than people like madawgz or squishypimp nowadays, I wasnt an attention whore and I wasnt seling my sig ( well, if someone told me I could sell it I'd probably have done it though, Im doing it today but the money from it isnt significant to me obviously )

And they dont have respect to anyone...

What about the webmaster just getting into the industry? Banning people from this board and creating a a model where you must be accepted into the community smacks of elitist bullshit. Sure, ban the idiots, but don't close the doors.

If you don't do some kind of trade, you're not in the industry, therefore you should probably not be on a board that is talking about "industry" related topics. Or lately lack thereof.
