If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

One suggestion that I'd give is for you to shut up drakkie.
To me, it just seems that you are pissed off that you have no control over what goes on here at ucp and that is just plain rediculous.

But no one else is complaining...so why would anyone else need to imoproveit?

It was a system that allowed members to give "reputation points" to others for their good / bad posts. Next to your username, you'd have a green dot and a number (stating the amount of points that you had).... or a red dot (negative).
It got out of control, everybody gave good rep to friends, bad rep to members they disliked, others created accounts to give rep to themselves, etc...
That just seems like a shit load of work for the mods. And I'm sure they've got much better things to do with their time. There's always they "report bad post" button, I gather that works?
And I see one major problem with your "newbie" forum. How many people have come here to just ask a question or for some help and then never really post again? Heaps. And if their question only appears in some little side forum, it's likely to get ignored. Not really fair is it?

i lost interest at "bring back rep" and the rest seems too complicated to ever be implemented especially when there isn't a problem in the first place.

this forum is fine the way it is... i have no problem with it!

You do have a good point.
The code of conduct sticky idea I like
ONLY #5 is actually worth taking into any sort of consideration. and even that i find silly.
CS made some good points but as he shows there are downsides to every way to aproach this.
I think the forum is absolutely fine the way it is. New memebers are not fitered, and that is a BIG plus. Sure you get a few spammers here and there, but frankly, the mods do a very fine job at taking care of them. Its not like there is a swarm of ferrarioprinze's every day. I personally havent seen spam in a few weeks!!!
Filtering members throuugh number of posts is absolutely ridiculous. To think that memebers like Peloton or Napolis would have been put in newbie forums is horrible.
The forums are fine. the mebers are fine. And the mods are very good. What is the prolem drakkie? I am not seeing this Big decline on the forums.. and ive been here for far longer than you. (jan 2004 is the date i created the acount, but visited this forum well before that)

This whole "newbie forum" thing is just a weird idea...I mean...we want to make newbies feel welcome, not just throw them aside to another forum just cause ONE newbie (or two) is causing a ruckus. And the whole age thing isn't that...right either. But instead of making a newbie forum, an age restricted forum would be more...right (under 16 15 14 blablabla...) And I've noticed that Drakkie is the only mod or member that has been posting "me getting pissed, any suggestions?" threads...
That's you, that is.Originally Posted by Gtek-i
Thanks for all the fish
not anymore
You cant critique your own posting, it doesnt work like that.
When i first joined UCP i think i could arguably say that i proved the age barrier means nothing if you dont go off like an idiot. Nowadays its generally guys like Spastik Roach doing that. Segregating under 16's isnt a solution. If you guys think theres a problem with kids on the forum, well then set a better standard for them to follow.

Again the Newbies are easily dealt with - it's forum members with problems that have been seething under the surface for a long time that present the greatest challenge.Originally Posted by drakkie
