Gogeta™ Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 [align=center] As everyone already knows day after day the forum, its threads, and post have a lot of spam. The common reason is usually newbs wanting to know how to post cards, wanting to introduce them selves etc. I have an idea to lower the common newb spam, its not the best idea in the world but a simple PM filled with links, information and other useful tips. When a user finds a new member has just joined they can send them a PM with all the information. I've tried this idea in the past by having a club but alas it didn't work so maybe users who be dedicated enough to send at least 4 PM's (28 new users a week) to a new user a day, maybe just maybe that could slow up the problems with spam. This is the YCM Guide made by my old club:[spoiler=YCM Guide] Welcome to Yugioh Card Maker(YCM)! I'm the Supreme Mage of Chaos and this is a special guide for new users on how to be a great success like other members here. This guide was made by members of YCM who want to help get newbs of to a good start here. Over the times new users have been known to post in the wrong sections of the forum and make pointless posts that got them banned from the site. The basics that you should know: Read before you post, this is a popular action of newbs not taking time to read what there about to post in. Make well thought out cards: Don't make a card that you just made without giving some thought to it. These are just a few important steps to becoming a good member. Read the rest of that guide for more information. If you have any questions or complaints regarding this guide feel free to PM me. This is a short list of links to the card maker that will be very usefull for posting cards and other stuff. This list was put together by Ultimate Ryan. Hello my username is Ultimate Ryan a member of the YCMDoHNU or YCM Department of Helping New Users, where we are dedicated to help the new members such as you and try to make you an elite member! So first I will start of with a compilation of very useful threads!

Desu the Blue Nerd Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 No. It's going to be way to much work and new people are going to be flooded with PMs about the exact same thing. I suggest an automatic PM. When a member joins they will get that PM. It won't waste our time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

:^) Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 Best idea ever. It will reduce over 50% of spam in all the threads. "Wow, where do you get your pictures?""How do you make good effects?""How do you make cards?" All commented in threads. Seriously. In my thread, stated right at the top. Pictures by Wolfberserker, Off Photobucke, Structure Deck and Booster by Chaotix. I don't get why they don't understand it? I support ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JoshIcy Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 All the important sections for newbies are at the top.And require minimal reading to find out where to go. If you cannot take that time, you are a n00b.Every category is pretty much self-explanatory. I do not support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
