Using previous memberHQ threads system

[Tabby]

You really want a whole lsit of people in agreement with this?, I mean, you're the only one completly against this ^

Not really, the current system is fine as is. If we revert back to the ok system the same problems will arise that caused us to change in the first place. And making users achieve a certain amount of posts or prestige isn't going to stop them spamming in order to get to the member hq requirements.

Also; you are making a mountain out of a molehill. I can't take any the posts here seriously because it's not a serious subject but my opinion is that we changed it for a reason and I see just as much spam in there from old members as I do new members anyway but so what, it's only a post. Live and let live; don't want to see it then don't go there.

Edit - the trade off is it worth it, yes there is spam there and everything you guys have said is true, there IS a problem. But I used the member hq to talk to raycat which included planning to meet her IRL. And that's my point; the member he is such an important part of the forum now that I don't think we should make any changes to it at this point

SCHD I don't want a list of people who you believe agrees with this. Let them speak for themselves.

By almost everyone you mean Woeler, SimbaCanHazDonut, and possibly Kopalover?

And everyone who is not bothered? You, and...?

These people:

And about having to have a certain number of posts before going to member HQ... idk about that. On one hand, getting the TLK sections active again would be nice, but on the other, forcing newer members to post in TLK areas might not be the best approach.

She feels the same way I do.

Personally, I have nothing against locking spam threads.

He seems willing to compromise though which I admire.

Not really, the current system is fine as is.

Thank You

Personally, I have nothing against locking spam threads. But, apparently, almost everyone else is bothered by it, so this is a solution to that problem, without any serious consequences.

I mean everyone but Adzgari and me.

Personally, I don't think this is a good idea. This is a friendly forum, with relaxed members and that is how it should be. Friendly atmosphere is what keeps members here. More strict rules would only tear it apart. It's simple. No one likes to spend its time on a forum he doesn't feel comfortable on.

Not to mention that this might lead to another problem: new members might (in order to get a privilege to post in OT sections) start spamming in LK related forums, which is much worse.

Spam LK related forums?, how?, LOL.

and I'll ask you something, if you want a ''friendly forum'' just for talking and doing nothing but talking and discussing OT stuff, why don't you go through one of the hundred ones out there instead of a TLK one?...

Just because one member made a mistake, doesn't mean that everyone else should suffer the consequences. If one member abuses the chat section, they need to be told that what they did was wrong and not to do it again.

Regulus is right: If we impose a requirement to post in the TLK sections, new members will only spam them in order to get into the Q&A threads. If anything, that will guarantee the death of the TLK sections. If right now they are somewhat active, but all the topics are useful, if we impose a requirement, the spam generated will kill off the TLK sections for good.

Let's not change the system. The system is not broken, it's new members who abuse it that are. There isn't anything you can do about it except for to try and get them to change themselves.

You could spam anything and anywhere if you wanted to, trust me.

And, that's definitely not what I meant to say (about a friendly forum). I just wanted to say that members should be let to use the forum as they want to. If they enjoy posting in OT sections, why stopping them? Everyone's here mainly because of TLK, that's for sure. But forcing someone to post somewhere in order to get something else is just... Too much. That's it.

Lets focus on the main issue which is that instead of just getting topics locked have discipline.

Like if people have to post in Lion King sections, before they can use the den, then they will just hurry through it. Like this meme says

I hope I don't get in trouble for the language lol
