Go for it. I think it will help save some bandwidth. If you have been here long enough (2yrs for me) you know who is who. You know who knows what and whos comments you can trust in which areas. I can say that probably 99% of the forum members will be ok. We know the 1% of bad apples to be ignored.

I kind of recent that. But I have always made it perfectly clear that I do not ban people from the forum easily. The reason is simple: because if I do so, it will always be because they have crossed a line I have set [b]personally and chances are it is not a reflection of the feelings of the forum community in general.

That's why I'm thinking of implementing a Member Rating System. Each member will be able to rate another member. If someone's rating drops below a certain point, this member will be automaticallty banned.

You will only be able to rate another member once (so you can't single handedly make another member's rating drop significantly). Also, you'll need to have a certain amount of posts made on your name before you can rate (to prevent someone from registering under different usernames just so he/she can influence another member's rating). This minimum amount of posts will be set quite high - like a hundred posts or so.

Ok, that's the idea. Let me know what you think.[/B]


I am in also!

I agree, at times it seems that this might be needed.

One question, are people really going to go out of their way, and give a positive vote for someone ?

With resent events, I think the best Rating system is already in place. The one where Cliff boots the SOB when he finally proves that he is the weakest link.

I't been pretty quiet since then.

YEP! And the silence has been absolutely deafening!

This may have been suggested already, but why not also delete all accounts that have been inactive for over 3 months? The 3000+ members we have is a freakishly inflated number from what we really have. Double accounts, people only registering to troll for a bit then leave, people registering and never coming back, etc. Its just taking up your hard drive space and only makes it harder to find people when you do a member search.

The member rating system: Love it. I'd have your children if I were, well, not a guy. And werent straight.

Sootah--what about those that can't make it to the forum due to circumstances beyond their control. The member that immediately comes to mind is Decadence R. He was a member in good standing until he left for the military. I'm sure, once he gets his basic and AIT done, he'll be back. What if he just has a few minutes. It would be a shame for him to have to log on again, wait to have his password sent, etc.

The 3500+ number might be inflated for the number of people that post regularly but it's most certainly not inflated for the number of people that visit this site on a daily basis. It gives you a good idea how large the audience really is.
