Xplorer4x4 Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Xplorer, what amount of posts would that be?Well I was going to let you decide that, thats why I put an X in there as in whatever number you felt appropriate. I think Gerard is on the right track, 50-100. If your wondering the reason I suggest it, it would help keep the "I cant do anything at all, but I want to start a mod" threads down in the mods section. Now granted they can post it in Modeling and Modeling help instead, but seems like a better place to but that kind of spam and try to keep the Mods forum strictly for discussing mods.

Stan Posted July 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 I think either 50 or 100Way too high in my eyes and will enforce people to spam just to be able to post thereBlue velvet is unsupported!

Xplorer4x4 Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 Correction, I meant to say they need X amount of posts to start a thread, not reply to topics.But most of the contents of mod threads is spam anyways. 90% of it is "good job" or "awesome" or something useless.

Stan Posted July 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 A forum without ranks and post count is not a forum in my eyes And to be honest even removing the post count, the ranks will not get away spam posts and the bunch of "good" "want to see more" "looks cool" posts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure it wouldnt get rid of things like that, but it would still cut back on spam imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleepyLizard Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 Why not add a thanks button?! or activating the post + or - buttons in the bottom corner of each post. I would use them when all i want to say its "good job" but dont know if others will! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would use them when all i want to say its "good job" but dont know if others will!I think this was raised somewhere else about the + - buttons and was disabled because some kid wouldn't like someone so he would - all his posts. Or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xplorer4x4 Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 Yep, eggcarton is right on. However, if its set up anything like the rep system vB uses, you can set up the system so you have to spread it around, like you can only + or - 1 post of mine, for example, and then you have to + or - say for example, 5 other people before you can + or - another one of my posts again, so that might be something for stan to consider/look in to.I think the thanks buttons a good idea though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Posted July 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 The + - might be enabled in future. Theoretically, you rate the content of a post and if I am not mistaken that rate is taken for the search results.What would be the purpose of a Thanks button?

SleepyLizard Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 The thanks button, would be to to thank the user for the post as it was informative, correct or interest. Or even for complements, instead of making a post just to say "good job".But if its possible to get the + and - working, then that would work in the same way. i just suggested a thanks button as i didnt know if you planned to get the + or - working.
