Why not put in a neogaf type registration system here? Took me fukking 6+ months to get accepted and I had to use a non-free email. It didn't eliminate ALL trolls but it kept a lot of them out, made bans more impactful. What you think @mrken12 I know you got some ideas :lupe:

One thing would be to treat thread making as a privilege instead of a right. And get rid of the rep system if there are no consequences for being deep in the red.

Wouldn't be fair to those of us who didn't have to wait a long time to get on,waiting that long or anything more than right away discourages people from wanting to sign up

I still don't understand why yall want the registration process to be harder, is it to stop troll?

And if so what is a troll , someone who doesn't agree with whatever yall think is "cool"? Or someone who joins and doesn't post? Or is it just white folks?

Why are you so anti-troll breh? I'm not sure which section of this forum you post in the most but I don't see ANYTHING wrong with the suggestions our peers are bringing to the table right now. You sure you're not...:mjpls:I mean, you are from the midwest...no offense but it's really not that difficult to understand

As far as @mrken12 ideas again who or what decides what the privilege of thread making is? The users? The mods ? The admins? What happens when someone abuses' that privilege again just because yall don't think what they said is "cool" , how long before they can make anymore threads, months?weeks? In my opinion that takes away from the discussion process of a forum

As far as reps go it's just a color and honestly I have yet to see a good poster in red, have you? All the poster's in red which at the end of the day mean's nothing, deserve to be there, and half the people in green got there by rep boosting so..

I am anti troll but yall ain't giving a clear definition of what is a troll or not, if anything that's where you should begin

Again is troll someone who agrees with what a white person says?

Is a troll someone who disagrees with what the majority says?

Is a troll someone who joins and only does so to use pics / gifs / content created here in another forum?

@cook @Emperor_ReinScarf @Brooklynzson
On a lot of forums/message boards, there is security in place that allows a lurker to only view a couple of threads before receiving a "you must be a registered user to view this thread". Some also have an IP lock in place (cookie) that remembers you and makes sure you get that damn message the next time you try to open a few threads. The one website that comes to mind is that orgish one (autopsy) shyt that ain't letting you in without registering through their system. The coli is like the us/mexican border but with nikkas on the side just watching hordes of trolls, duplicated accounts, random guest, fbi, bosses, cops, exe's and even baby momma's flood into their site. All these people getting all of our information by not even signing up. Do something about it!!!! Damn. Why we always have to tell you guys what to do with this site? Got donations coming in, a store, new sections but no security in place to protect your users? Atleast make these above mentioned personel have to make an account...and even then, they should be given limited access until they've reached an reputable post count
so what u are saying is that u want more klan members to sign up :scust:
