No question. It just needs to be done, the approval system isn't so hard as to not spend a few minutes as a new person to introduce yourself, and this prevents people from posting SMW/Pokemon questions here just because they are not approved to post in those respective forums. In less words, yes.

OH FUCKING YES

Seriously, we're still getting "OMG when the editor comes out?" and "How I hax smb???" and "Where I download romz :("

This should have been done from the start.

It was done from the start. Too many people complained, so Xk decided to make it Pokemon/SMW-only, just as a test run.

Sorry about my spammy post, but I was hoping that this would happen for a long time. I think it should be done since we have been plauged with the newbs asking for roms and editors. It gets pretty annoying after a while. At least we can weed out a few of these idiots who refuse to read the rules.

I say yeah. There are still so many n00bs using this forum now instead of SMW/Pokemon because they don't have the brain cells to get approved.

Make it approve-only, and save the non-idiot hackers

Yes. This forum is getting silly now, too. Also, I don't think it's *that* hard to make an approval request thread. I found it quite easy, actually.

I'd say maybe it's a better idea to make posting threads (as opposed to replying to them) approve-only, because this forum has a fair bit of lurkers, who may not want to wait for the approval before giving feedback on an editor/hack, or asking for help, etc. Because while it's not hard to make an approval thread, sometimes us adminitators are too busy banning idiots who post llama porn to approve users. I also approve of a 48-hour lurking period before a user can even post, or possibly even only 24-hours. I'm not particularly for the idea, but not against it. Leaning closer to for than against.

[edit]
I have to admit, because of the approval only (I suppose) I can actually browse the SMW forums without feeling like an idiot now, however it seems to be having detrimental effects on this forum (such as SMW and pokemon threads being posted here, as if this weren't a "general rom hacking" forum, and more of a "We're rejects" forum)

But for the pending approval, there is the problem of us hackers who... well, don't hack much. The progress I'm making on my LoZ : LtTP hack is minimal at best, but still there. Most of the stuff I would post in this forum would be to either give helpful critisisms/suggestions and to answer questions, both of which are valuable assets to hacking. And if I were to post all that in a pending approval forum, I'm not sure that it would be granted.

Admitidly, there is an infestation of 1337-speakers and AIM typers.

I agree with this; I have in fact argued in the past for this. So yea!

Still, I wonder where all the n00bs will post now that they won't be able to post here.

Yeah I think this needs to be done...There have been alot of people who just came here to get info about Super Mario 64 editor and then when they find out its not open for download anymore they leave or just bug about it. There have been alot of spam as most of you said, pointless questions have been asked over and over, so I think making this forum approve only is a good idea.

I don't see why you couldn't also grant the rom-hacking mods the power to approve/deapprove members. I don't see a single person on the mod lists who would have severe lapses in judgement.

I’m new here, and I voted YES! I read the forums, I looked for my answer, I couldn't find it so I posted. Ok a bit of user error on my part as it turned out but I looked first!

It does seem that I'm one of the rare people that read the rules. I’m hacking SMK, but it’s interesting to read other’s projects and encounters with their hacks. When looking through the forum’s posts there are so many threads that are dead before they start. For example I got all excited to see a thread called SMK only to find its some idiots pointless question. The quality of threads in SMW and Pokemon make it clear this method is best.
