Maybe create something where you can't start a thread until you have over a thousand posts or something? Would get rid of a lot of the crap threads.

i've suggested two things in the past
* minimal 25 posts in the introductions board before you can go into the other boards: helps with alias screening, forces the habit of quality posts, if you just post "luke logan" 25 times, you can't get in
* minimum 250 posts before you can start a thread
and a new one
* 1 week suspension if you start a duplicate thread before you pass 1000 posts (because you haven't used the search function)
2 weeks if the existing topic was on the front page when the duplicate was started

Oh Robin,this is the funniest thread you've ever started.Perhaps a better idea would be to create something where people who are suspended more than once aren't allowed to start threads.That would solve the problem of the usual troll threads from you and FF05.

I accidentally did this the other day about a weather warning though because the thread was titled differently and I was at work and when I am I don't flick through all threads, so I just didn't know. I don't think I'd deserve a 2 week suspension for that!

Expect it to be the most spammed filled board out their, bad idea.Karbassiyoon said:
Disagree again, let newbies have their say, is their really that much difference between a newbie posting on a existing thread, then creating a new one just to be a troll/disruptive?
Don't like either, but if you want to make it work, that should be the sys. job of doing it, not the poster.

Throw your support behind Ted to be a mod and there will be no whining. You know Ted knows best.
purplesoul said:
Oh, I suspect Ted just needs to whine about something, so he'd be reaching new pinnacles as a mod.
A lot of that is difficult and time-consuming to monitor: the software won't do that sort of thing automatically.Karbassiyoon said:
Requiring a minimum number of posts before starting a new thread is a double-edged sword. Might just increase the amount of junk.
I would like to see more warnings go out for starting duplicates, but it is hard to do. Perhaps user education like the Steam boards Flash movie might be the way to go.
And <gasp> in step Ted to fill that breach. How lucky he's willing to give up his time.

it's hardly giving up time

Exactly. It's almost like you're made for the job and the job is made for you.

Well you definitely can't have the job then. If you were to stop posting I fear BF would collapse.
ps. ted, do you know what is happening with a spell check on here?
Karbassiyoon said:
So rather than just read your posts, you would have the ability to edit others posts to sound like you? A world of Mini Ted's??
Thanks, but no thanks.
