A solution to the influx of retarded posters lately

[Afrobean]

I'd suggest some sort of intelligence test to gain access to the forums. If said user fails the intelligence test, they would not be able to take the test again and would be stuck to a secondary forum for retards.

What do you guys think? Any other possible solutions?

Afro,

By bringing up this idea, you fail the intelligence test and are confined to the retard forum.

*kidding*

But.. come on.. Would you like to be in charge of the hundreds of requests that come in daily? The testing materials and questions? How are you going to be sure they aren't cheating? How does this have anything to do with maturity level once they are granted access? Wouldn't this just make people go away because they can't participate?

Seems like a huge mess of trouble. The only gain would be approximately .001% of the site massaging eachother with baby oil.

Cheers,

I don't know about you, but that sounds pretty good to me.

Besides, if a user's passing of the test is called into question (ie cheating, etc.), the mods can simply boot them to the lower forum. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the chat have a similar feature?

KoL actually had something like this lol

better idea: make it OK for the mods to ban someone for being a retarded noob

problem solved

In all seriousness, there should definitely be forum-specific bans...those would probably help a lot.

Re: A solution to the influx of retarded posters lately

we DO ban people for being retarded n00bs... although it takes time to reach that point and the bans aren't for that long. at first.

You guys have a mass of bans to hand out then.

Go check out the garbage bin.

And I'd say in these special instances, the "time to reach that point" should be discounted. These people are ****ing retarded as hell.

Hmm...I really am sick of the idiots in the GB. Maybe when someone's acting like they deserve a ban, give them the quiz. If they get less than 50%-60% right, ban them for the mod's desired amount of time. If the get 1/25 right, consider banning them from the whole site for a while. THEN they'll learn, hopefully.

That's because he is one.

I'm usually not for radical movements and discrimination, but I'm going to have to agree here. Have some sort of criteria in order to be allowed into certain parts of the forum. It's become almost unbearable to read threads now, because of something retarded in it.

EDIT: Sigh, this is TPS again. Keep forgetting to log out.

Let's just shut off registration, and get rid of all users.
