    Yeah, I posted this before, but it hasn't been a proper answer on it imo.

    Suggestion:


    Okey, I've been thinking about this for a time.


    In the Show Off sections, (example Signatures, Large Art, Tutorials), there is alot of spams. Seriously.
    How many post containing "Cool sig gj" in the post have you seen in the Signatures section.
    How many "cool i wish i was as good as you" posts have you seen in the Large Art section.
    And let's not even mention the "thx for the tut" posts in the Tutorial Section.

    This has to stop. My suggestion;
    • * Hire just a few new "Clean Up" moderators to clean this up, in one way or another.
      * Make a new rule in those sections, saying that you HAVE to give good Critisicm and/or a Comment. (Not a 'Gj' one.)
      * Those caught not following this, let them be fined. No suspension, but only a fine of credits and a warning. (A PM warning, not a warning level increase)
    I think this would help alot to reduce the spamming, AND reducing the credit count. We all get credits from posting in there, and I think the main reason there is a spam like this is that those people know that they will get credits for each post.
    It will also make the flame wars (not that there is alot, but still) in some of the topics.

    ---------------------

    Example;

    A: "Here's my new signature, fresh off PS. CnC please!"
    B: "That's nice."
    C: "Oh my God that's the ugliest sig ever."
    A: "Why is it bad, I asked for CnC and none of you gave good answers."

    After that, no answer from B or C, because they wanted the credits from the post they made.


    See my point? I think alot of people will appreciate it.


    Over and Out. Dior.

    Yes bro I appricate this. Even I used to post such in those forums, but their is an age to this :P. I totally agree to him even if not hiring someone to do the clean up, remove the credits increase in that section so people who post for credits get prevented from gaining credits.

    Yeah. Though we can't get credits from posting at the moment, the spamming is the main problem at this point.

    thanks for the good tip!






















    oh you ment that, sorry.

    yea its a good idea, i see to much people just posting without giving a bit of help in it.
    and especially the post in the rate the sig above you topic.

    they only say like 6/10

    no cc no nothing.
    thats is quite annoying to.

    Well about the Rate the Sig above you thread. It can be tolerated to a limit as they are only two threads for that to do.

    About the other thread and forums, the suggestion is very nice.

    Dior is right!

    I mean, if I knew I could make creds that easy, I'd be doing it for months now....
    xP

    This does need to stop, at LEAST, Id say stop credits from being made there, and watch how much people post less there when they find out.

    Credits have already been disabled in that forum. Seeing as how their disabled for the entire forum at the moment.

    I dont think we will be hiring on more moderators, especially just to monitor that section, seeing as how we just got rid of a bunch for various sections.

    Disabling post count, doesnt seem fair to those who actually do make valid posts in there.

    Okey I guess, but when the whole "no credit for posting on the whole forum" thing is off, disable it in the Showoff sections permanent?

    Disabling credits there permenately could be something we could do.

    You guys could hire some Sectional Moderators and add that to what they have to do.
