Suggestion: Auto-ban on attachment-posting members in CC

[OhHerro]

Bah... At least a week ban' date=' or a PM about why they did it...

Maybe an Auto-PM instead? Telling them the next one will result in a ban?

For members with hundreds of posts? Or for el noob-os?

[Guest JoshIcy]

Not sure... Both I guess.

[Guest Morpheous Erebos]

I'd say a PM telling them it is against the rules, and giving them a link to the CC Rules thread.

Ehh too much work...

[Max Darkness]

I'm not sure. What I think you should do is send the people (1-stars that is' date=' everyone else should know better) a PM explaining how to upload images without using attachments.

I think an automatic ban is too harsh.

Few reasons why I wouldn't support that:

 

1. It's more work to try and convert a member to goodness by PM'ing them than it is to simply ban them for three days.

2. If they're not willing to read the rules, what would make us think they'll read a detailed explanation of posting cards?

 

-Yes, it may be more work, but it will pay off in the long run. If YCM gets a reputation for a near-paranoid response to attachments, this site is going to go down the pan and will be avoided by new-comers.

-Also, since when does posting cards have to be detailed?:

i) Click on card in Card Maker Section

ii) Copy and paste ImageShack code into thread

 

-Since when is writing a few lines in a PM "too much work"? Surely it's much more effort to post a reply to a thread, pointing out some OCG errors and rating their cards than simply putting at most 4 lines or text and a link to the rules thread (Idea from .:Lawliet:.)?

 

I still think an instant ban is too harsh for new-comers.

I also must add that your conduct when you posted your replies to the thread that you show as an example was appalling. A new member asks you how to post cards, and instead of telling them, you treat them with contempt and just rant at them. Treat others with respect otherwise others will lose faith in you and treat you as you treat newcomers. Don't you forget that you were once one of them...

Plus, your use of the murder analogy and the word "unnedded" seem to show that you are using this 'suggestion' as a way of venting your anger by making perfectly good members who don't understand one technique feel like they've done something wrong. New members will make mistakes...get over it. The rest of us have.

[Kale]

This argument is laid out very well, and has an air of LD debate atmosphere with the reasoning, but you still went a little over the top with murder. You are equating the posting of a link, which is simple enough to click and view, with that of killing another person. This makes everyone not want to go along with your statement from the get-go, since logically that analogy doesnt make sense.

 

Secondly, Your complaint on the members being "Unneeded" is not accurate. When we all decide that we will grow out of doing this, and we all will eventually, then we need those members to mature here and to eventually figure out the rules. Someone who doesnt understand the rules and is immediately shunned doesnt a good member make.

 

Thirdly, your solution is valid, though it isnt good. As i stated before you went over the top with your hook, and you went to far into the complaining about noob members for me to even think that this suggestion was valid to begin with. But i digress, i will actually think about if this should be done. I say: no. If you give them an auto-ban for a little while they might get tired of the site and leave. You say that is a good thing, i say it isnt. We need all members, not only those who are great but those who will become great at a later time.

 

Im sorry, but i would have to say this should not be implemented. no support.

If attachments aren't allowed, then why did YCMaker put the attachment function in the site?

 

I don't support because #1, posting attachments isn't even worth banning. Maybe warnings should be good enough. I posted attachments too in my first thread and look, I never get banned for it. I was a newbie back then, and so were you.

 

---NO SUPPORT FROM ME, SORRY :(---

[Frunk]

I do NOT support this idea. New members probably don't how to upload their images to a file-sharing website, and therefore the attachment function is the obvious thing to use.

[Skarlet]

I am quite inclined to support -but I do not- YCMaker should try to disable the attachment function, however while it exists, banning is a bit much..

[Mehmani]

Yes, it's actually possible to disable the Attachments function. The best way to do it is to disable attachments in User Permissions.

Auto-ban on idiot suggestions.

 

Anyone?

*Laughs* Supported.

[Juuzou]

yhe sure these mods arent so good look to this short movie and see how a -CENSORED- mod really is

 

THIS IS GAY P0RN

 

supported

[Man0waR]

my advanced cleaner says i got 400 Trojans because i clicked the link. luckily i can remove them in like 30 minutes.

[Guest Fake Apology]

This is exaggerating. Maybe if the CC/Super moderators were more aware of attachments and took care of them instantly, the problem would be solved.

[OhHerro]

Auto-ban on idiot suggestions.

 

Anyone?

 

Wouldn't that ban you too then?

 

yhe sure these mods arent so good look to this short movie and see how a http://nobrain.dk mod really is

 

SMD you little funker.

 

 

And okay, so if you guys think a ban is harsh, then what about a warning level increase of like... 50%?

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

Banning/locking attachments isn't worth it and I feel it's a dumb idea.

 

[spoiler=Why?]

 

Newbies to this site MAY NOT know how to click the link for their card. Pretty much everyone (or at least majority of this site) has used attachments in their newbie days 'cuz they didn't know how to use link. I say this because I used attachments one time back in my LV1 days. So basically what I'm trying to say is "Banning a member because they use attachments is just a really bad idea)

 

 

EDIT: Warning level of 50% is too harsh. Maybe reduce that to 5%, that sounds a little fairer.

Why? It's nearly impossible to get warning levels as it is, so it's not too big of a deal... haha

[Willieh]

How about, no.

 

Considering the fact that you have the option to post an image as an attachment; why should there be a punishment for it?

chaosgodkarl Wrote: I don't support. I have permission to use attachments in my written card thread, so an automatic ban or lock is a bad idea.

 

 

What do you use attachments for in written cards? They're written, for Pete's sake.

 

YVD set file.

[Silent Omega]

No support.

 

You do realize that, without any guidance, new members will fall down the road and eventually appear back as newbs? Banning is harsh, Warning is not, so basically yes, a warning is good, but c'mon, think of it. Newcomers or newbs will never read the rules, once they grow into a fine better member, they'll begin to understand.

I'm not entirely sure if this has been suggested before or not' date=' but if it has, it probably did not have enough evidence or logical backing to be implemented.

 

Here's my suggestion. Ban members who post attachments in the CC section for 3 days. Automatically.

 

Here's my reasoning:

 

1. It CLEARLY states in the rules of the section that attachments are not allowed. In our society, the rules (law) clearly state that killing someone is not allowed. If you kill someone, you are automatically punished by being sent to jail, a punishment that on a forum can be equated with a ban. We don't need to give a permanent ban, but a temporary ban of three days should be enough time for them to read all the stickies.

 

2. This thread. It's pretty obvious to me that for the most part, members who don't read the stickies and thus post their cards in attachments are as idiotic as this member, and are thus unneeded in our forums. As such, we can do without them for three days.

 

Supporters?

So you are implying that someone who may have problems reading or some other medical problem should be banned? Then you are as stupid as a plank of wood.

How does that have ANYTHING to do with the topic at hand? If you want only to insult me, drop me a PM instead.
