| And we could add a image part to it to, where you have to type 4 letters that are in the image or something like that. | |||

Originally posted by witeasprinwow So I read that for nothing?  I found rule number 9 of the first part very odd. I don't really see how it's outdated, but you could make it seem more important, such as by seperating the rules from the other stuff and call it "Rules" or "TOS". That way people may actually pay attention to it. Just leave all the humbug about all the ACS and Syndromes in the FAQ and have a seperate Rules list so at least it makes it seem important. Most people when they see a FAQ they think, "Oh this is only going to tell me I probably already know or don't need to." TOS is much more noticable and has more of an authoritive stance than FAQ does. I might as well break it down.
TOS - Terms of Service. People think these are going to be rules and they'll have to read these. FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions. People will think that all the stuff in here is for dumb people who don't know what they are doing. Just simply change the name and it may actually work. Another suggestion would to be to quiz people on the rules so that if they don't read them, they'll have to go back to look for the answers, so at least they'll learn the rules that way. And if they fail this test, block the board until they get a majority of the answers right. Then again, there are always ways to get around this, but those could simply be blocked. If any of my are of any good, go ahead and use them. I would be pleased if you did.  |

| The Citadel had a ToS laid out and it was specifically to do with what you could and couldn't do on the board. This was seperate from the FAQ, and laid out specific rules about what could and couldn't be done -- ie posting of pornography, flaming, trolling, etc.
Course, that's all lost by now I'm sure, but it was a good thing to have. Users had to agree to the TOS before registering also, thanks to some code from Kasumi. And when users did the wrong thing (and then kicked up a stink over it) I could point at the TOS and say "well, you agreed not to post a bunch of porn... and you did... so bye"  |

Originally posted by Tarale Actually, I got the idea from GameFAQs because it works a bundle there, but there are some mods who like to take their power too far there also. I think it would help bring more attention to it if the name was TOS instead of FAQ. You should have to read them before you sign up. Like when you hit Register, it takes you to the TOS and has you agree to it and then you can actually register. That could also help bring more attention to it even though you are already forced to go to the page, but by agreeing to it before hand would make it more affective. I don't see why people don't read it though. It doesn't really take that long to read and most of it is just about some of the features around the board. I guess people are just too lazy to take a few minutes to find out a way to keep yourself from not getting banned. I don't know why they don't read it, but I would try to do everything I could to make sure they read it. If they don't, get rid of them, which is apparently what you do, so now you just have to do the other part.  |

Yes. "Re-nuke" the board. That'll teach us to be smart. Listen to yourself, Sparx.  |

Originally posted by tunabot Yes. They go something like this: - Don't flame. - Don't troll. - Don't advertise. I think that's it. The only thing I could really remember from it was that it was terribly numbered, like it would go 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 7, 8, 2, 4, 1, 2, 3, 10. Apparently their way of rules works somehow, so maybe we could do something like they do here and it may actually work. Either that or people are just scared to lose karma there, which won't do us any good. That is, of course, you make a karma system, which would be out of line. |

| Accounts get banned at Gfaqs. You can just keep making new accounts. It's a sad situation at times.
Either that or people are just scared to lose karma there HAHAHAHAHAHAHA good 1. Ever heard of an account suicide? |

| Eh, I don't think there are too many around here that WANT the board nuked, they're just not very intelligent users in terms of post quality and attitude, and don't realize it's so frowned upon here. =\ | |||

| If we brought Karma here (which is basically your user rating) people would worship it just like they do with post count.
Not to mention a lot of people really dont care about the rating. And GameFAQ's is a joke, a big one. |

Originally posted by Danielle More like they don't realize they're idiots. Some psychologists did a study where they asked people how well they thought they would do on a standardized test (SAT or IQ or something), and 25% percent that did the worst on the test estimated themselves to be in the top 25% before they took the test. |

Originally posted by witeasprinwowOriginally posted by Danielle Yeah, that's a good point. Although, we're not too hesitant around here to just tell them they're idiots. Unless they're... too stupid to understand we're serious? |

| How about getting rid of post count.
Or hiding it. This is not hard to do. |

| Thing is, I don't think postcount alone is the cause of our problems. Oh sure, it might encourage some people to spam, but I don't think that removing it will be some magical panacea or anything.
I don't actually believe the problem is in any way to do with the coded features of the board, nor do I believe that coding additional features into the board, blowing it up, etc, is going to make any difference. The problem is a social problem, not a technological one. |
