Ashoat Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 so I have disabled the accumulation of posts and points in that forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AverageJoe Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I think it would also be beneficial if points weren't given out for movie reviews. You did say that you were trying to attract a more mature/professional crowd. I really don't think that a thread on every movie ever made is going to help. Those types of threads are just made so people can make posts simply for helions. Since this is a web hosting forum I think that threads should be about web-development/hosting/design and maybe a few other intelligent subjects.

Timebandit Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 djbob, can't you just take away a point system in certain forum sections like f.kl and Krazypoints? Or is my mind left me completely. (meaning that never happened) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(meaning that never happened)That's pretty much what I did. I think it would also be beneficial if points weren't given out for movie reviews. You did say that you were trying to attract a more mature/professional crowd. I really don't think that a thread on every movie ever made is going to help.

Either mods would have to manually detract the points from movie reviews, or we would have to make a seperate forum for movie reviews, or we would have to have some sort of complex parsing engine that would recognize movie reviews.

If by heliohost you mean a hosting account, I'm pretty sure/positive that it's free now. 2. If I understand it correctly, the system is changing so that people who deserve domains can still get them--just without helions. They just need to have five hundred posts. @Wizard But he's working sohard! "people like me that are working" Ha! He's got SIX whole posts. I feel kinda bad though. I'm pretty sure I used to spam--at least a little bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Well it's not the fact that he only has 6; it's that they are very useless, noncontributing posts. This is the reason djbob should get mods hired and active asap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjpriest25 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 You certainly want to be a mod, don't you? I got school starting tomorrow... Makes me sad. No time for modding for me--not that I want to anyway. I may not even be able to log on every week, let alone every day like I do now... I guess it'll be nice having a life again..
