The "Freeola Customer Forum" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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 can talk about anything, and I think it will be good to make some new friends on the chat forums.
You don't have to if you don't want to, but I thought it could be fun!!
Let's get typing.
1) Three little lights would sit below our taglines with each post, one red, one orange, and one green. We start off with all the lights off. At the bottom of each post, there would be a link, similar to the "Report this Post" link underneath each post. If the amount of reports reaches a certain amount, a PHP script would change the images so that the green light came on, the the orange one, and then the red one. When a user reaches the red light, they get banned.
2) When a user spams, users would click on the link mentioned above, and the spammer would be reduced to newbie or JAT, because everyone knows that newbies and JATs get less respect than regulars.
That 3 chances and your out idea doesn't sound good, I don't think they'd be many members left, I think when they ban people e.g. Shaneo they should ben the I.P. address, although it's not good to be completly banned from forums, but would make him post less.
SR seem to be very lenient with their banning, but I get the impressiong that too many people report posts, must be quite a boring job sorting through them all.
