Looking for Your Comments about the Forum, Good or Bad.

He was posting 'Hii' on every post. Clearly just to gain 10 posts over the 10 days to become trusted. So I deleted most of them which sent his post count back to under 10, therefore relegating him back to 'New Member' status. I've warned him about his rubbish posts, so now it's up to him whether he actually wants to participate in a responsible way, or continue to treat this site like a joke.

 

And I've also found that no 2 is also just trying to get in without earning it so they can seek out members interested in their illegal - read underage - content/activities.

Such as access to the private messaging area, for instance.

 

And get short shrift here

 

If he replies to a post and makes a valid comment, its not posting for count sake. Replying and saying nice or great has been done by a multitude of members, you can't single out one member without going through and deleting the other member too, some being staff.

 

Adding to this:

Many of our user just wanna view the content that is only accessable for Trusted Members. So they post for example "Nice" or "Thanks" in 10 different video-threads and then go full "Lurk-mode". This is totally fine. After those 10 post there are "just there". They do no harm.

But adding random nonsense like "dfdsfd" or "12244" or something that doesn't fit the theme of a thread is a not okay.

 

Yes I think that comments like nice, great, I agree, and me too are actually making a comment on what they replied to. If they make an unintelligible or unrelated comment then its not valid. Some members don't really want to make long posts. Their reasons are probably varied. I've seen where people replied to a picture and just posted "beautiful" or "lovely", single word posts that commented on the picture they replied too. As long as their posts make some sense, I think it is valid.

 

As long as a post consists of letters, arranged into words, creating a sentence I'm happy. If every post is the same then it shows no thought being applied. So 10 "wow"s, or "hot"s, or ""s, or "."s are just flooding the forum.

 

And these are the ones I'm talking about further up. It's so obvious what they're doing. Why should they get a 'free' pass over the ones who contribute intelligent conversation and really make an effort to connect.

 

Exactly.

Thank you

 

Staff didn't need 45 days to identify the troublemakers. We are currently as effective with 10 days. The 45 day wait was more to encourage donations in return for a shorter wait.
