Suggestions for improving the TNL forums

[Tommy Tallarico]

I actually had the idea of a probational period for new members.

Basically, for the first three months of their membership they can be permabanned if the veterains are sick of them and vote on it. It protects the boards from members we don't want here, while at the same time allowing anyone that passes the three months to help shape the boards in the future.

Just a thought.

No. Only if we can grandfather it in and get rid of you.

The only real suggestion I think would work is for everybody to quit thinking they're king shit of the toilet mountain and flaming everybody else's posts for lack of any reason other than "I don't like poster X", "poster X has a differing opinion than mine he is wrong and I will e-fight him", or "poster X is new lol stfu noob <flood of images that aren't funny>". This would greatly improve the forums.

I think a 100 character minimum in posts is a great idea.

Give me utter control over every aspect of who stays and who goes.

I think we should make Mzo our king. He proved in that other thread in Sound Off that he can easily make Executive desicions that represent Justice.

So do I, but it doesn't look like it's going to happen any time soon.

Eew. I don't.

[g0zen]

Yeah, it's a terrible idea. I cannot for the life of me see the reason to make people pad their posts just to try and keep them from posting blank or "STFU".

It's a good idea in theory, but will probably end up bothersome in execution.

Only if we start the voting from the very begining and get rid of you before you became the worst troll/mod TNL has ever seen.
