Forum rules suggestion
benji:
Yeah, but there's no filter that would catch him. He's posted over 100 times and been a member for 4 years. The best way to solve such a thing actually happened. A mod took care of it. I guess I still don't see the point. Do people feel that the QC slash fic writers are overrunning the rest of the boards?
KharBevNor:
The forum I was largely thinking of was the music forum actusally.
You have to be careful with forum rules or standards. I think this rule would make less work for moderators. It's not so much about excluding new people as trying to get them to smoothly integrate in to our community.
Lunchbox:
We do get spam now that we have registration open again, but since there's usually a moderator online it gets dealt with pretty quickly.
Also I agree with snalin, it works itself out. New kids can be annoying to start off with but they usually learn pretty fast.
calenlass:
and goddangit they are stealing our jobs

Or, gee, here's a thought ... Why not send a message to new posters who are viewed as posting inappropriately, and remove said post/thread?
Yeah, under-100 poster here. And the proposed rule does come off as elitist. As the original poster of the aforementioned 'Lookit that' column, I do apologize if my sleep-deprived lunatic thread stomped on any toes. I didn't intend for it to be an irritant, though, admittedly, I'm not sure what I intended it as. It DID, however, get people talking about the inappropriateness of a few locked threads, and get people talking about WHY they were locked.
All in all, I'd say it turned out good. But whatever. I'm new, so apparently, I don't know what I'm talking about.
