We all know that this 'Class System' doesn't work. we get Newbies spamming to become regulras because the think it will gain them some more respect. Which it doesn't. But that doesn't stop them. Now with the added "Regular Only Forum" Newbies are going to spam more and more just so they can have access to that particular forum.

Well instead of having the Class System based on number of posts and words why not have it based on how long they've actually been here??!?!?! It'll stop the spamming to become a regular as that won't have anything to do with it. Let's say you had to be here for 75 days to become a Regular.

I think this would work much better than the current system. Anyway, let me know what you think!

Spider, allegedly.

Cheatguru possibly, although he's not here anymore. Even in his less-annoying state, though, he still posted some crap topics.

Here's an idea! Comb the WWF forum!

No matter what happens, there will still be people who come on, start spamming and keep spamming no matter how long the time limit is.

We need something to stop the constant spamming.

(Grix would say thanks, but he gets a bit confused when he has to speak to the opposite sex. He means well, but just ignore him.)

Hee hee.

Too complicated and will cause upsets.

I think this would be just as bad or worse as people post even more rubbish to grab you attention and make you vote for them.

A regular election would be complicated, just look at all the newbies!
A minimum time period (the month) and the higher word count seems like a good idea to me.
Glad to see you back Grix :)
