you know how you say "no bumping" or stuff on the show off board?
disallow replies on the board. just new topics.

Plus it is very nice of you guys to allow bumping after 30 days so that people can put their site in the lime light again. Just too bad it seems to be abused.

What is even sadder is that they do not seem to teach reading anymore in schools!

My general understanding of most forums is that spelling and grammar should be ignored. Who has time to worry about that here? I'm in trouble if people start spellchecking everything I write. :blink: :lol:

ok... stop off-topic-ying,,,,


back to the question... i got another alternative...

1. A user can only Post One Topic
2. Then they have to close they're thread
3. After a month they can open it back and then againh closed it when he/she finish
4. Topic that violate the 3 step above will be delete and poster will be warn/barn depend on Support Team

the only prob is limez have to enable members to open/close own topic.

Interesting idea however, I think Pappy is right. The members would still not read the rules and wouldn't know to close their own topics and such. Mabey you should make a giant flashing red rules text appear right above the box where members post. :lol: Actually, a link above the posting box to the rules might not be a bad idea.

Hm, it's a problem like you all stated. Why not just set the feature that makes moderators preview all posts in that forum that way the moderators could keep it spam free is anyone trys to reply to topics before 30 days.

But then agian I'm sure the moderators would have to preview alot of posts if this was set. h34r:

Too bad there isn't a way to automaticaly ban members from posting in the show off area for 30 days after they post.

You can set it so that members can't reply to their own topics if that is what you mean

That's kind of harsh don't you think :P I would think warn level increase would be more suitable.
