It's a well thought-out idea, Per.
However, I think the implimentation of such a system would also require the implementation of a penalization system to deter users from pointlessly spamming to reach said targets that obtain more privileges.
I mean, people say that we should just let the mods do what they do - but if there's an effective system which can filter the amount of stupidity coming into the forums, then it'd be less of a headache for everyone.

There is...its called a gun. Now all we need to do is trace down the little bastards...
One day back seems the mod's are living up to their image. Heh.

I don't think this place is "full to the brim of experience challenged". Today as I browse the forums and everything looks fine. I don't know what you are freaking out about and even the point of this topic. Stuff is good around here. If you don't think that you can always leave. I think you are the retard one and anyone else who goes around and says "EVERYONE IS RETARDED" "EVERYONE IS STUPID, OMFG SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE!!!."
Just drop it, everyone else should too. There are no problems in the BBS, your all just creating them.

Thank Guthix.
My suggestion is as follows:
Make users EARN the right to post
Reason I say this: the overall quality of BBS posting is going down faster than a snowman in the desert...
Any new user can shit out un-funny/already been done/spam topic 4 times per day.
I've been wondering for a long time...why do you people CARE. If you don't like the BBS, you can leave, and seriously it's not like these spam topics really have any reason of annoying you. So what if someone says something unfunny. You read their topic, then you leave. It's not like they are wasting your bandwidth or space on your website. I personally think NG would be a lot more boring if people like this didn't show up.
System Layout:
* minimum 2 days of lurking before being able to post
How would you even measure this? And why would this even make anyone make better topics. I have been on NG for a year and a half and still make shitty topics.
* 0-499 posts: 1 new topic per day; 2 posts per topic per 30 minutes
*500-999 posts: 2 new topics per day; 3 posts per topic per 30 minutes
*1000+ posts: 4 new topics per day; 4 posts per topic per 30 minutes
Because post number = good topics/posts...right...

"That's not fair to new users" you say. Well, thats true, but the kind of posters we want on the BBS are those that can think before they post "loln00b" as a reply to a topic. Users that can put effort into making a new topic (like seeing if it's been done recently).
Because your suggestions above will fix these problems? Absolutely not.
Overall, you just need to realize this is an incredibly popular website on the internet, and there is nothing to stop the amount of people who don't make good posts except to stop registration or ban every member that makes a bad post from now on. If you find a bad post or bad topic, just move on dude, it's no big deal.
milinko959, I totally agree, and thank you for laying out the points much neater than me.
If that happens the BBS would be ruined.

In what way

i dont like it cause it will make new users go away.
loln00b
jk
but seriously
Im kinda mad I would have to "lurk" for two days, even though I've been on the community for a good year. I think that the rule for less than 500 posts would be awesome for spammers/bad topic creators, but for people like me it makes me kinda mad ><
A system for finding low-post spammers would be good if possible.

I agree. If I have to lurk for 2 whole days before I even get to post my own thoughts and ideas, i will lose interest. No matter how good of a poster you could be, this will just kill the forum in the long run.
I'm in favor of limiting post counts and also for the trolling period. Forcing new members to learn the search bar would also cut down on redundant threads. I believe this would fit with the 'hardcore FAQ' idea.
Sounds like a good idea, but maybe you should include being Banned will have to make you work even harder to gain posting rights...

The couple days of lurking isn't that bad of an idea. I think 4 topics a day is too much anyway. I only make one at the most. Usually none. I think that could be knocked down to two at the most, if not one. I guess some people just have more ideas than others for topics. Overall not too bad an idea. I don't see it being implemented, but you never know.
Sig by fahrenheit.
But what about people who have over 10,000 posts, none of which have any content in?

Looking from the perspective of others, I can see the flaws and drawbacks.
However, I think the implimentation of such a system would also require the implementation of a penalization system to deter users from pointlessly spamming to reach said targets that obtain more privileges.
Mods able to see how many band a user has? The more bans, the more severe the ban length (more bans usually indicate a lack of learning from one's mistakes)
I mean, people say that we should just let the mods do what they do - but if there's an effective system which can filter the amount of stupidity coming into the forums, then it'd be less of a headache for everyone.
Thats the hope. In the meantime...

Not that post count equals good posting, but users who have been around longer usually know what's acceptable and isn't. Whether or not they choose to follow that is up to them...

That's always a possibility

The imposition would only apply to new sign-ups, to keep it fair to those who are good posters, but infrequent ones.

More ideas, which is the goal of this topic.

That's been raised.
I've requested a lock of this topic. It's served its purpose (observation of peoples reaction to the thought of earning the right to post).
Thanks to all those who gave good suggestions. Or any suggestions for that matter...
