what’s he talking about anyway?
It was deleted because you provided means to do illegal things (such as posting rom links or whatever). My weed thread was fine man. It seems to me if we can talk about turds and Chuck Norris we can talk about marijuana.
It was three pages?! I was gone all day and I wanted to read that shit. Fucking narc.
But I’m sure it isn’t your fault anyway. It is just a damn shame.
^^^
Chuck and Turd are not illegal.
One kicks ass, the other comes from it
That’s cause you’re acting like a kid.
So? who gives a fuck if there are one of those in every forum? How does that apply to shoryuken.com? Oh right, it doesn’t. You just want to justify demanding something that you really have no right to demand. You’re also complaining about things that have been in effect for years. We got a handle on shit. You’re not the first person who’s come in here and been like “OMG OMG OMG YOU GUYS SHOULD DO THIS CAUSE I MODDED A FORUM ONCE AND BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH”. Thanks for your input, but we stopped needing that kind of input about 3 years ago.
Isn’t it obvious what the 240 second rule does? Did you read ANY posts in here about it, or are you casually ignoring it because it suits your argument?
Well, let’s try your logic here. “Why didn’t you just say that?” Your post was complaining about the banners. You didn’t mention anything past that. Then you state
If you don’t look there anymore, then why did you even bring it up?
Well, feel free to think that shit, but since you weren’t here and you had nothing to do it, kindly shut the fuck. Matter of fact, just shut the fuck up period.
Well, congratulations. I’m proud of you. I’m not wasting an hour of my time to stop people from being idiots when we have controls in place so I don’t have to. We’re not going to lift the 240 rule cause some dude named Kalypso has a problem with it.
OR, we keep our current set up in place and don’t have to do that shit in the first place. I don’t give a fuck what happened on the WoW forums because this is shoryuken.com not worldofwarcraft.com
And you got those answers, but kept talking anyway.
Welcome to SRK mother fucker.
If Money and To Prevent Crashes are the two main reasons the 240 second rule is in place, why don’t we make different levels of premium?
Non-Prem - Scrub shit, no benefits
Premium - Rep, Big avs, uploading images, etc.
Premium Plus - Same shit, but maybe the 240 second rule is cut in half, also costs more
Premium Supreme - Same stuff, but 120 second rule is cut in half, costs even more
If these people really want to post more, they can, but they should have to pay for it. When they’re shelling out 50 bucks for the ability to post once a minute, maybe they’ll start to see that posting all the time isn’t that important.
But of course, you put the possibility out there, so you don’t change the status quo, you just add another way to make Money. And since not everyone gives a shit about the 240 second rule, you won’t have everybody doing this, meaning the system isn’t in constant danger of crashing.
Both reasons the 240 second rule is in place are circumvented, with only minimal consequences to the server, if any.
I’m not sure if anyone has ever brought that up; I’m sure that someone has to have done it, because it’s a pretty simple idea. I just didn’t see it in the pages arguing over this, so I thought I’d suggest it.
^Wiz said there was no way to do this with the current Bb code…
There’s not (I’ve moderated all kinds of forums). There’s a universal post delay, unrelated to user groups 
Still, all monster forums like this tend to have fees, I of course can’t do the math but 2 bucks a year per member would probably waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more than take care of the fees, combined with the banner ad you could make every member premium. And no, I don’t think 25 bucks or whatever it is for a year here is that big of a deal, if I had working paypal I’d pay it.
And I don’t respond to flames/flamers/people who don’t listen to what I say but flame it anyway so I’ll ignore the big post and instead respond to the sane ones.
I was talking about reducing the 240 rule, for those who didn’t know.
I think a universal 1/2 dollar fee per acct would solve most problems, at least enough to cut the delay to 120.
Post whores- Not that post count matters in any forum but 120 still screws over people who post too much. There’s no way to stop stupid posts since stupid people will post every 240 seconds or every 1000 seconds, you’re trying to shut down the stupid people who can’t shut up then drop a temp ban.
Spam wars- If they pay you money to come flame/spam you it must be pretty desperate, I really doubt more than 10 would pay to come spam so you temp ban them, easy. Perma-ban if they keep spamming after the temp-ban runs out.
Money- Everyone’s paying a dollar.
I doubt it would happen since free forums rarely impose a charge, but a dollar is nothing. A dollar a year would more than pay for the forums and I’ll gladly pay my contribution. Once my paypal works I’ll sign up for premium membership here.
My goodness! You’ve been here not even a month, yet supposedly know more than the moderators & everyone else.
Kalypso, I have an idea for you: shut the hell up. Thanks.
You guys do realize I’m trying to help and not flaming? What’s with all the insults…
No, I havn’t been on SRK long but it’s not like you have any special rules that make you differant from all the other forums I’ve used. In fact, SRK is more of a small-community forum than a massive forum, despite the fact that there’s a trillion members everyone knows each other and stuff.
I DO know what I’m talking about and I’m trying to help, but if you don’t want it I’ll just stop and go back to posting elsewhere in the forums, just don’t hold anything against me.
…On the next MADE: I wanna be an SRK Moderator…
LOL NICE
Relax. Just pulling your leg a little (or just me, at least).
I don’t have any personal “beef” (as some refer to it as) with you.
:lol:
Really? I think that it could be possible. I’ve never moderated any forums, but moderators here supposedly get to skip the 240 second rule. Maybe something like that should be put into effect. (like shorten it down to 120 seconds for premium members)
(Waiting for the 240 second rule before post)
Mods only get to skip the 240 rule in the forum they mod. You should be able to post like a mofo in FGD, Jae.
…seriously.
I think it’d be awesome if there’s a way to navitate the threads with “show printable version” as a default form. Can you guys make an option for that? That way, pages will load faster, and without the borders and other crud.
i better see some foos go through bootcamp.
Isn’t there a way to cut down on the number of stickies? 6-7 seems a little excessive, can’t some of them be combined…
