anthony Posted October 3, 2004 Posted October 3, 2004 Ello all! Well I have some suggestions =) Number One I noticed that there are some members who join, post one question and disipear, so I was thinking, maybe we could have a "guest" section, where "guests" can come and just post a question into a public area and members could go there and answer. By doing so, people will not have to be forced to join (which includes getting access to a non free based email) post a question and disipear forever. The few drawback that I can think of besides having to spend time making it would be there could be tons of confusion between all these hundereds or thousands of guests, also because non members can post there, we could recieve a lot of spam and or advertisement/junk. Number Two In the members profile at the botom, maybe it could show the members last 10 posts? Unlike the current system whree you either have to "Find all posts by this member" or go to my assistant>find last 10 posts (for finding your own) By having the last 10 posts shown in the profile section for each member, it could provide an added convenience. Lets say a person knew this other person postd a certain post earlyer on, searching is one option, but what if you could just click the guys name and find the last 10 posts? That would increase the effectivness of searcing Well thats it, I hope i've been helpfull Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamikaze_Badger Posted October 3, 2004 Posted October 3, 2004 Section open to guests will end up filled with people saying: "OMG U R LAL SO AWSUM N KEWL LOL!!11!1!!111! Trust me, that IS a bad thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverfox Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 would get very irritating very quickly....but there are a lot of members that just vanish..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishop245 Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 um when you click on find all post by this member the first 10 are the last ten they posted in order of last to first Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClayMeow Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 um when you click on find all post by this member the first 10 are the last ten they posted in order of last to first although bishop's wording may be confusing I agree....i don't see why we need a "last ten" specific option. also, i think guest posting is a bad idea. like you said, it'd be hard to tell one guest apart from another, and it means anyone can post anything about anything anywhere without repurcusions. spam and flaming will go to an alltime high.

Propane Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 we could make it so their IP is public so basically it would be "SPAM and DIE" and we could keep track of who is who Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

daniel Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 i think u guys should put the guest section, but give guests less rights, like not able to post pictures, or posts after 5 minutes from a previous post so spamming will be less... things like that...

d3bruts1d Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 #1 - One of the benifits of registration is the ability to post (and get help) in the forums. #2 - See Bishop's post. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthony Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 Ok screw idea number one But idea number two, I don tthink I clearly explained it. I understand you can click find all posts by member, Im just saying it owuld be more convient for those last 10 posts to be in the users profile, like at the bottom of it, wouldnt that be more convenient?

sdy284 Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 Can't the mods weed out the inactive members? (if they dont do it already) to get rid of some of the dead weight? or perhaps that when u get your account you have to log in a certain # of times within a timeframe, or else your account is deleted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamikaze_Badger Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 If we had a script set up for that, some absent members who are still folding would probably end up getting their accounts deleted, say something like "OMGZ0RZ YUOS IS ALL TEH SXU!!!111!!!1!", and fold for someone else... unless it's something like a 3 month period...
