One acronym "CAPTCHA". It should be used for account creation. (Which I think WLID does when an account is created, but IDK)

But for maxium effect, a CAPTCHA should be used for each post.

That's pretty extreme. How about for inserting links (below a certain trust level)?


Or the inability to create hyperlinks below the status of Honorable member, as prefixes are determined by how long you've gone unbanned/seriously warned. Eh? Eh?


That kind of sucks, I can't post links for a LONG time then even though I have never posted a shock site before.

This seems to punish people who shouldn't be punished.

The way I see it is either two ways (please note that this is NOT against you in anyway but for the community as a whole): You are either someone new to the forums therefore you would have to be around here for a little while before you're trusted with links, or you have done something that warranted a ban and therefor you are then stripped of your freedoms. If people want to be able to use the forums to the best of their abilities then they should just follow the rules.

If people want to be able to use the forums to the best of their abilities then they should just follow the rules.

I think a great way to do it is for those who have not achieved a specified prefix, they are not able to hide links in text. ( [url=]text[/url] ) They still have the functionality, to post links, however they would have to use; [url]website[/url]. Another thing to be considered is to completely remove the 'URL shortening devices,' like tinyurl, goo.gl, etc. This way if you have nothing to hide, then don't. Then, maybe if you reach that specified prefix, you have the ability to use those services. (Seeing how they are used to save characters in longer posts)

One last thing for everyone to note, school will be starting up soon, and most of the trolls/spammers will be gone.

What if you don't have any friends on B.net? How would you join?


Maybe you could request a membership if you have a clean Xbox Live account, i.e. no bans, good service record or something?


LOL I would never be able to get into that.

My ban history is very unclean.


Speaking of which, why the hell aren't you perma-banned? You get in trouble like every other day, and you have already gotten several console bans.

Why are you still trying to be part of a community that hates the way people like you pollute?


I have 6 bans on my ban history, should I be perma-banned Mr.smartass?

This is the stupidest idea I have ever heard. Even more so than the guinea pigs/VTOL thing.

If it were implemented, I would post ceaselessly to have it removed. But the CAPTCHAs would stop me...

IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?!

Absolutely. you're a terrible member of this community if you've been banned that many times and we'd be better off without you.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

I know but just becuase someone gets banned a few times doesn't mean they are any less a part of this community.

I have been banned a few times too, heck, Bobcast has been banned like 12 times and he is a forum ninja.

If you're that stupid to get banned 5+ times then you're lacking serious judgement skills or you just don't care about the forum rules.

I said that weird. I shouldn't have said terrible member. I should have said you have a complete disregard for the rules if you're willing to break them that many times. JMHO.

So you are calling me most of the moderation team, and most of the members on this site stupid?

Many people have multiple bans, doesn't mean you are a bad person.

My last ban, a mod banned me for being off-topic in the Flood.

I am such a menace to society right?

I do care about this site brosky.

There isn't much anyone can do. What's to stop someone from just signing up with a new e-mail account after they are banned?

Posted by: spartain ken 15
In other forums I go on, a moderator has to approve your account before it can be used.

It is worth the wait becuase it is like 99.99999999999% troll free.

The only problem with that is the time it takes to get your account approved. Lets say you are a regular first time person and you want to sign up.. You would have to wait for a certain amount of time (I've seen people waiting for up to a month or so) before you could actually see what's going on. I don't think any of the mods or employees would like to spend their day approving and people to the site.


This is the situation i'm in on NeoGaf :/

lolnope.

I stopped caring about that cena guy ages ago. If anything, I find his shock site spamming to be hilarious. I've kind of warmed up to his presence in the flood. As long as he stays there and doesn't dare enter this part of the site, or the other forums, I'm fine with him. Why doesn't someone just go and make a script to block all users with the word cena in their username?

That was the site I was talking about. It takes a LONG time to get approved there.

Making accounts should be easy. Abusive behavior should be difficult.

Ban links for 48 hours. If you have something to share urgently and it's a link, you can still post it without the [url] sugar.

Did you seriously just pull the "I have been here longer than you therefore my opinion is more valid" card?

I hope you never get any kind of title, you would be bringing it up in every other thread.

"I have mythic, I think I know everything about this website, son."

You said earlier you are trying to be less of a nuisance and a better member?

Step one, never mention your join date again in an argument.
