The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
We need to do something about spammers, I've posted a few good ideas which have been posted on Chat forums, But seriously now we have beening leaving such as IB and WS. Come on Staffies. We need to something!!
I beg.
----------
Idea 1 (Posted by VenomByte) :-
Seriously think Notables (or at least some people) should be given moderator powers. There are a good deal of forums around which aren't even as active as these, yet they appoint several moderators to help maintain things. These moderators only need be responsible forum members who are around a lot of the time - particularly times like evenings and weekends when staff are less likely to be around. They don't need full 'powers', just enough to stop abuse of the forums - i.e., ability to edit and delete posts.
As well as taking pressure of the staff, it would help improve the quality of things here. After all, it can't be a bad idea to appoint people who actually want to spend their time keeping the forums in shape...

Idea 2 (posted by pb) :-
How about forums that you could only post in if you'd stayed longer than, say, 400 days or were given permission by staff? Something like that could work for a small number of forums, thereby not excluding those newbies from everything. After all, we were all new once (though, not in the current status sense).

Idea 3 (posted by Ev][L~Dark) me :) :-
There must be some way it spilt apart the spammers and the good posters?
The FOG-Prime is only a place for the regulars, which is the only place where we can run too but can't chat in there.
How about if we did a Second FOG Chat only for Regulars and notables?
---------
There are many more ideas that we can think up, Come on Staffies!

I think pb's idea is good. But I would havent to wait ages to post in it if it was 400+ days. I havent spammed once and do some post that people appreciate. I am all for it as long as I am an exception *grins*
I think demoloshing Fog CHAT and replacing it with a lounge would be good, meaning all important long posts go in Prime and all chatty bits go in the lounge.
And I like pb's idea.
