Who thinks GFY needs a "1st post" column?
 

This board needs a "1st post" column, the "last post" column is ok but seems not as important as when the 1st post was. This board is so active that all the "last post" dates on the 1st few pages are the same (todays/new) anyways.


Just a thought.....

My thoughts exactly...

Thats probably an option in the script

I don't get it...

GFY needs a daycare.


How about this: Create a Daycare forum, put it right between this one and "Webmaster Q & A". Once a newbie joins they can only make their first fifty posts in the daycare.

Then instead of banning certain people, Lens could ban them back to the daycare. 2nd banning would be permanent.


Anybody else liking this daycare idea? I am.

Banned to the Daycare, sounds like a leper colony :thumbsup

huh?

It all fits in with my proposed plan of having the under-21 crowd corralled in special roped-off areas at Internext parties.

"Banned to the daycare" could become a household phrase. :thumbsup

:1orglaugh

Bump for daycare.

They would post 50 times in the first 30 minutes. Definately needs to be a combo of reg date and posts.

Sin-bin 5 minute timeout - if you get banned to daycare it should be for 2 weeks or something.

Yikes, how about make them get a National ID card and send in the scan while you're at it...

A few more fuckin' mods should be able to handle this simple shit. I've been on here quite a bit for almost a week now and see a lot of regulars, why can't some of them be used and give them banner space up on top or something?

Fuck all that censorship/restriction talk...whoever is for that kind of thing, let's hear how many of you use AVS or age verification for all your sites....

I thought so.

I would agree that the original date posted would be much better than the date of last post if my post count allowed me to support it.

Naw, just set the flood control in daycare to 5 minutes :D

If some moron wants to post 50 times consecutively it will take him or her like 5 hours to do it.



Daycare could also be moderated, and if someone who is banned to it or is just posting nothing posts and acting like a twit in there then they never get out.

Ever.

I vote for first post date too.

Anyone can change IP and get a new name, then you start all over. And legit new posters are forced to see a bunch of worthless shit then they never come back, other boards will take the place.

Plug the holes, then get mods 24/7, not breezing in and out every few hours. Try that first.

yep

Okay, try this.....

Legit new posters (basically anyone).... get to post in any forum. As soon as they are nailed for spam or stupidity they get banned to the daycare for their next 50 posts. If they don't like it and quit the board, oh well. Is anyone going to miss a few retards?

And as I said, if they act like dipshits in the daycare, they stay there, period.

Yeah, that's a good compromise. Many of you are advertising webmaster programs and new webmasters won't see that if they are automatically forced into "daycare" -- troublemakers likely don't give a shit anyway. So that would be cool with me on all levels.

Of course the rest of us could go post in daycare and make fun of the "less fortunate". :D

Nah, that wouldn't be quite "fair" would it, haha.

What good is a daycare if we can't make fun of the kiddies in there?






Who said life was fair?
