*This has a suggestion in it also so i dont know where to put it *

I dont Mean to sound like an ass but someone needs to say this.

The new people coming to this board are getting more and more annoying and stupider. With all the RP threads comments on someones card for RP asking "How to put pictures in my sig" but not PMing someone about it making a whole thread.
Now i was a n00b once too but the forums werent being overrun by annoying ****y n00bs who think they own the place. Dont get me wrong some of the new people are great members. But most of the influx is fake accounts and members who never post.
Most of the new members spam,resort to one word posts and dont know how to spell. They dont take the time to read the FAQ's they just post "HEW DOOO I GOT MONEY!!?? . Im not writing this to start another war but i think registration should be capped. By capping registration you can avoid so much more problems on the board. **another josh the psycho or thefreakinfreak**
If you dont cap the registration at least tighten the noose on new people. Im sick of getting comments on my card asking for RP or people to "Be My Buddy".

I think you should install a set of rules that affect new people for 2 weeks.

Rules:
1.They cant comment on people's cards.
2.They have a set number of threads they can make in a
day
3. 100 RP is given to them so they dont go making the threads
4. Before the register they MUST read the FAQs.

----------------Feel Free To Add More Rules---------------


Im really sick of the n00bs killing this board.


Signed, Pat

Well there is a thread in the libary guide about RP..
So they shouldnt make threads about it..
It just proves they dont read it.
*Cough*..and i think they should..
Anyway those rulez kinda seem fair to me...

Yeah...I was talking about posting/reading in the RP thread at the library...you're not supposed to make threads like "I need RP" they will get closed.

Im now that I am a newbie on here but whenever I go onto a FF forum I generally stay there for a long time. I can sympathise with you though as many of the other forums I go on have new people that log on once and generally just spam the place.

However if I do get on your nerves just PM me, alright?



(wicked! these arent on the other forums I go on!)

Asking what RP is and how to get it I for one, am fine with. But it's somewhat annoying getting comments or your card asking for RP. =/

Quote:
1.They cant comment on people's cards.
2.They have a set number of threads they can make in a
day
3. 100 RP is given to them so they dont go making the threads
4. Before the register they MUST read the FAQs.
Your suggestions are.. interesting. But some new members don't actually browse the forums til 2 weeks after they registered so that would mean all these er... precautions would not have taken place.

Not commenting on people's cards may help, but it takes most new members a while to figure out the comment feature is there.. makes me wonder how they find the feature and not find the millions of FAQs though.

A set number of threads per day sounds quite nice to me. It'll stop them from posting a bizzillion new threads in the wrong place but I promise you, they'll start leaving posts all over the place asking why they can't start new threads.

Giving them 100RP to start with will not stop them from asking about it or for it, several of these people I've seen already have 150+RP. It doesn't make that much difference. They still ask. Basically you're just handing them RP they don't deserve.

There is no sure way is seeing that the newbies read the FAQ first. It's like those registration forms the "do you agree to these terms" ones. You see 'em, and you scroll right down the button that says "yes, I agree".

Also... *boots to the Midgar Library if it hasn't already been done while typing up post*

Yah @ mecca... ~ and check out this dudes strut, lol.

But anyway....without sounding rude or being offensive....the n00bs now sure are annoying...."CAN I HAVE RP!? I'LL BUDDY YOU IF YOU DO". Pah...read the god damn FAQ's. There should be a FAQ shoved into their face as they register and have a timer on the submit button to give them time to read it all.
